Actually, the only review I ever cared about was Inside Sims Racing review.

And that one was amongst the most positive ever, for any kind of simulation game. They even put it on the likes of PC sims such as iRacing, rFactor and GTR-2. 

Plus, the game is so big, they're splitting the reviews in two parts and will later review the second part, once they get further in the game, as endurance races and some of the special events only unlock at higher levels.

Edit - Nvm, only saw that you're behind that mock site

talking about inside sims racing did you se the review on the force feed back/vibrating device that straps to your chest to give you the fullbody racing experience , after the review jessica comments (tongue in cheek) she wasn't there to try it out and can she have a go some time

I haven't seen that one yet. Is the experience similar to the Buttkicker force feedback system that's strapped to the bottom of a chair?.

Also, how far have you progressed in the game?

it seems similar effect  to the buttkicker except toned down as it is worn as a vest hence jessica's remarks about missing out on giving it a try and definitely wanting to,it was the video before the GT5 part one review lf i'm not mistaken.

as for me i have finished the nine hour and i am at lv 34 bob sends his regards lv 23

Same here, I finished the Tsukuba 9 Hours a couple of days ago. Yesterday I did all the Bonus Round event races, for Cr, and bought myself a nifty Ferrari F10. 

Are you going to do the Le Mans 24H when you reach level 35?

@Lestat

Yes the bonus rounds are a good way of making money, at least early on ,as for Le mans will do it in stages as i don't have time to do it all at once so will do 12 hr pause it overnight and finish it on day 2  .Looking after my mum doesn't take up much time at one go but the requests  can come at any time.

That's how I'm going to go at it as well. 

Mainly because driving with a Wheel it's pretty extenuating. After the Tsukuba 9 Hours, even with a lunch break at the 4H 30min mark, it left my brake foot very sore.

I've just had an amazing luck with the Gift Card Lvl. 17 from completing the Expert events, B-Spec. 

It was none other than the GT40 Race Car '69! One of my favourite cars of all time, and one of the best Classical race cars overall. 

Progressing quite nicely on B-Spec, things get a  lot better when your driver gets above Class Level 15. Now, even with similar tyres, similar powered cars (like in the Historic Race Car Cup) and just an oil change, Bob is able to win pretty smoothly. 

Onto NASCAR cup on the Extreme events.

Won NASCAR at first try. Bob was amazing on Daytona

Like in the A-Spec race, it was always up and down the pack, until I found a comfortable enough lead between laps 12-18.

After a badly done first turn at lap 19, due to the reduced grip on the tyres, Bob clipped the wall and was relegated to 5th place. 
Working his way up the pack, at the exit of turn 2 in the last lap, he had enough draft to pass the 1st and 2nd place cars and finish 1st with a 0.065 lead XD. 

Good job Bob, you did better than I did on your very first try

Snif, this thread is so dead and without no activity, has everyone already moved on from GT5?

Oh well, currently doing the last race of the Japanese GT championship, B-Spec. Suzuka at rain, 30 laps and two Bobs.

This championship could be classified as an endurance race itself. Each race is 30 laps, and I'm currently doing Suzuka at heavy rain, with the Minolta, doing 2:33 laps >_<. It's going to take me well over 80 minutes to finish it. 

My current main Bob is at level 22, secondary Bob level 11 and all other Bobs at level 0.

I, sadly, haven't driven any GT5 in weeks :((. Still I'm not down, even though I am missing out on some good races I presume. I have the feeling I am going to play this game for a long time to come. People probably go to the dedicated sites to talk about GT5. Maybe if you start a little VGC racing group, the interest in tasking about gt5 stuff will raise.

I know I could use a couple of friends in my GT5 lounge, but just adding your tag from the sig doesn't feel right :P. Plus I'm confused about which one is the PSN user and which one is the PS3 user and how they are related or not. I know it's an easy research, but I would rather post it here. And it's not off topic, as it is needed for GT5 :P.
