    a drag race? really? they should have did a lap shot out who ever finished with the best lap time won..wtf this is b.s that calvo looks like he still a virgin

      What does looking like a virgin have anything to do with the topic at hand?

      That is one of the most single idiotic and asinine comments I’ve seen on this site.

    1. Jordan

      GTPlanet covers everything and anything that has to do with the Gran Turismo series. If you don’t care about that, don’t visit this blog.

      Well they were using B-Spec, and using GT logo’d wheels, and PD was supporting the challenge.

      So, yes, this is actual stuff about Gran Turismo.

      You can either get over it, or do what Jordan suggested.

    lol… Why did the guy with the Australian accent get subtitles? We’re not that difficult to understand, are we?

  4. Turbo-Kai

    I guess this type of final was like a coin flip… maybe not the best way to decide…
    but was cool in that way that it is the typical license test no. 1 on the GT series…lol

    heh, it’d cost more than i earn in a year just to insure that AMG SLS.

    doing the Lowestoft to LandsEnd run next week in a 2.0i Turbo Mondeo Titainium X with the missus. Just like an 8hr enduro in GT5, but IRL. A303 here we come.

  6. Protocol

    It doesn’t make sense to me how the winner of a competition that first started with B-spec was decided with real driving…

    1. True

      Yeah, but they kept having to speed up parts of the film for anything that required turning, and it still looked like my dead grandma driving. A drag race gives maximum appearance of performance fo minimum risk to the car, and i’m sure that’s what Merc wanted for promo purposes. A bunch of greenies dinging paint and going in the grass doesn’t make for good company/product image promotion.

      hmmm, just one of those crazy thoughts. possibly an official drag function for a future update? n redbull ring for DLC?? would be pretty awesome. GT5 FOREVER. peace
