“GTlife” User-Contributed Gran Turismo Fan Magazine

Gran Turismo 5 Other Site Announcements February 24th, 2011 by Jordan

Over the past few weeks, users in our forums have been organizing a digital Gran Turismo magazine, made up entirely of user-generated articles and content. Now, all of their hard work has finally come together in the first issue of GTlife, and I think any GT fan will find it an enjoyable read. Topics range from car comparisons, car reviews, tuning tips, “fan fiction”, community interviews, and more. It’s available for free on issuu.com, or you can download the full PDF file (15.1 MB) from GTPlanet’s servers.

I’d like to personally congratulate Schwadegan and all of the other contributors who made this possible – it’s an awesome tribute to what this community can do! To submit an article of your own to the magazine or get involved with the project, head on over to GTlife‘s official forum thread.

    I there i just read the magazine this weekend and i must say its was really enjoyable to read specially the first article “The birth of an Addiction” who keept me thinking “does he still have the buggy?” and at the end there was the picture of the said buggy :) and the interview with the tunners from RKM Motorspors was great to i liked all the articles but of course we all have ones that we like most.
    Hope this project continues to release further editions.

    Schwadegan… hats off to you for taking an excellent idea and making it into a reality . I thought the magazine was well written and quite creative.

    I especially liked the first article from a young man who isn’t even old enough to drive yet! He has absolutely been bitten by the car “bug” which has no cure, ha!

    I look forward to future issues. Thanks again for your dedication!

    It’s so rewarding to read the feedback and reactions from the community, especially when the writers interact with their readers. I want to thank you all for helping me create this magazine, none of this would be possible without you!

    I am happy to see that everyone is content with the first issue of GTLife! I like it too, but there are mistakes here and there, sentence and paragraph structures weaknesses, and some slightly boring parts… but overall I would love to congratulate Schwadegan and the writers that compiled this great piece of writing! I LOVE GT5

    Seriously that was fantastic!!!!
    To all those who put in the effort well done, a perfect 10/10. That is 100% better than most mags i pay for at the shops.
    Loved it and the articles are da bomb, really enjoyed the BMW v Merc write up.
    Take my hat off to you guys for taking the time to do this for us GT/Car fans.
