I  think you can Zoom out the map far enough so it has the same appearance as the GT4 map.

I need to edit that, I meant the menu system of GT4 the map that had everything displayed out in the open.

it could have used more coordination but it was better  than this menu.

I'm actually enjoying this new map, rather than the old GT maps, I can plan lines better with it. And it was invaluable in events such as the night race on the Grand Tour with the Murcielago.

But I would love for an update that would allow us to remove the HUD elements, that would be a thrilling experience xD.

Finally got all licenses, all gold, pretty nifty to see those 60 gold trophies sitting in my profile page  

Also, I would like everyone that has the game to try and give their impression about AMG Driving Tour Advanced Challenge 5, the entire lap around Nurburgring in the Rain in a 300 SL with Comfort Sport tyres. 

It became my favourite challenge in the entire game so far, nurburgring in the rain is amazing and dreadful at the same time, due to the massive challenge of keeping both the car in the track and trying to get a fast enough rhythm for a decent lap time. Thankfully, the sector challenges prior to the entire lap challenge do a pretty good job to train you for it, I did the Gold in my second try, 5 seconds below the Gold time.

GT5's growing on me every day  

My Corvette Z06 is kickin some serious ass in A Spec right now :D. Next Car to buy? Audi R8, here I come!

And I love my FT-86 Concept Toyota. LOVE THE INTERIOR!!!

Also I have a question, if I gift a car to someone, will I lose that car?

Yup, it will go into the other's person garage and disappear from yours. Don't ever try that with prize cars, since you won't get them again, unless you're lucky and get another copy from the random prize gift that's given when you finish any of the A-Spec series. 

I have 2 Citroen C4 WRC thanks to that, and I'm gifting one of them, so it's up to grabs for anyone that wants it XD.

I thought so and that's why I haven't gifted a car to anyone yet lol.

Well I'm in your in game friend's list so I'd like the C4 WRC if ya don't mind :D

PSN: xaldinator

Ok, i'll gift it you later today once I boot GT5  

Aha, so you're xaldinator I knew it was someone from VGC but I had forgotten who it was

Haha lol yeah that's me.

I don't quite have the GT skills like yourself (yes I've seen your stats from time to time just to see how awesome you are at GT5. Best on my friend's list), but I just love GT with a passion.

Anyway thanks for the gift :D

You're welcome

I've much to improve yet, I just have a lot of perseverance. I'm now at AMG Driving School Expert and it's putting me to shame. Driving a SLS in nurburgring in the rain with comfort tyres is truly a daunting task xD. 

My goal is to at least reach A-Spec Lv. 30 before the end of the year, to get that sweet X1
