18 years old and have been playing racing games since I got my first PS One. First game was Ridge Racer Evolution, lol.

Have played and completed all GT games except Prologue.
 
21 Years Old, got my first Playstation with an age of (uhm i guess it was) 9 or 10 (for 1750 ATS).

First Game was Formula One 98 (including the annoying commentary!) i loved it.. should search it for some nostalgia racing :D

I played GT1, GT2, GT4 Prologue, GT4, GT5 HD Concept, GT5 Prologue and now GT5

these memories..
 
I'm almost 15. I started knowing GT when my dad randomly got me gt3 at the age of 8 not knowing anything about cars. Fast forward 3 years and find me discovering what GT was. I went to gamestop to get gt4 and gt5p. Well. Yep.
 
28

played GT2, GT3, GT4, GT5p and now GT5.

when i get 29 in september i ll get my driving seat with t500RS and triple monitor setup...
 
I'm 29 and have been a GT nut since the beginning :)

But i was a pad player until about 2 months ago and have only just become the proud owner of a G27 👍

So you could say it all begins here :):):)
 
am 35 and i have played gt since day 1 even had a japanese version of gt1 way before it was even released in the uk loved gt all the way and have enjoyed every gt so far :)
 
I turn 21 later this year, been playing since the original when I was 8 years old.

The first time I played it was at a friends house, we got hooked so I put GT2 on my christmas list when I was about 10 years old :D

I took a long break between GT4 and GT5, but I'm happy I got back into it again 👍 After all, I got all golds on the previous games so I better get them on this one!

**** now I feel old :indiff:

Meh, who remembers this car from GT1? :P

I'm 39 And I've been playing GT games since I owned my PS1. I owned 2 3 & 4 too.

I first used a wheel with GT Prologue and I didn't like it at all - perhaps because the physics were so realistic (in the way the old Colin McCrae rally games used to be - as a direct comparison to Dirt).

Now I love driving with the wheel as it helps take seconds off each lap and dispose of driver aids such as TCS or ABS.

I am once again a true GT addict if a little greyer!:):):):)
 
Twenty-Seven years of age here. I can fondly remember asking for the original Gran Turismo for Christmas when I was young, and how my love affair with cars quickly blossomed afterwards. Since then, GT2, GT3 A-Spec, GT4, and GT5 (and yes, Forza 2 and 3) have continued to fulfill my dreams of cars I'll never be able to afford. :)

Just turned fifty recently. Which means, yes, I played 'Pong' when it first came out. Well. actually I played the Commodore 64 version of it. Guess that makes me a REAL hard-core gamer. Played games like 'Wolfpack' and 'Battle of Britain' on a Packard Bell 256, but my first console game was:

The label is all chewed up, but can you guess? Yup. Top Gear.

Also played these, before I moved on to N64, then Game Cube, as well as PS2 and an Xbox. Now I have all the consoles, yet I still go back when I have the time and take these for a spin:

BTW - if you are only 13 - do not worry. You will be playing well into your eighties, heheh - but of course by then we'll have Smellovison - and you'll be able to smell the burning rubber!

Ignored GT for the longest time - till GT4 fell into my hands. There was no looking back after that. GT is my #1 Driving Sim - even though I play many other driving/racing games. Now I go looking for the older GT's . . .

I can't tell you my age when I first picked up GT but I never put it down. I'm 25 now. I do think that I love gt2 the most still. Oh, how I long to have my Tahiti (spelling?) maze back. And I loved that ever auto maker had their own races. I have gotten rid of all my past ps1 and ps2 games except the GT series (and my mgs series, I've played since I was 6 on my original NES).

Lucky!!

The very first game of the whole Need for Speed series, is in your collection! Props my man 👍 props!

I have the orinigal Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit PS1 and the PC version and up :D!

I didn't play the first one and the second one I rented it for awhile, but I couldn't find it to add in my collection :(.

I also have Test Drive 4 PS1, Test Drive 5 PC, Test Drive 6 PS1 and Test Drive Off Road 2 for the PC also. :D

I know it's off topic, but I have played these games in collarabation with GT1 and GT2 when I was a kid, those were the games.

Wow! You'll probably get the mercedes patent wagon! Lol
 
I am 13 and I have been also been playing GT since going over to my cousins house and playing GT3 on his PS2 in a green Jaguar XK. (Must've been around 2002ish)
 
I'm 28 feeling old it sucks, been playing since UK release of GT1, skipped GT2, played GT3 quite a bit got all the licenses at least bronze, same with GT4. Got my first wheel Fanatec Turbo S just before GT5 came out now I have a GT2 wheel, I have all the trophies in GT5 except the A-spec level 40 (on level 38 at moment) then I will have platinumed it so just a matter of time. Its good to see such a varied age range playing, made me feel a bit better about getting old and still playing GT relentlessly :)
 
I'm 30 and ever since i played GT1 on the PS i was in Awe :)

Then i bought GT 2 and 3 and then my PS2 died, so i missed out on GT4.

Now i'm on my 2nd PS3 and i'm loving GT5, i guess it helps a lot playing with my Driving Force Wheel :sly:
 
41, played gt1 on the ps1, still have both, managed my international A class licence on gt1, just started on gt5 as only just got a ps3, saw gt5 demo in toys r s with my daughter and said to the wife thats the only reason which I would get a ps3 for, and thats gt5, well 1 birthday, 1 fathers day, and giving up smoking and I got the ps3 and gt5, now off sick for three weeks and working my way through the game, is it me or is it a little more complicated, (thats another post)
 
Looks like I'm the oldest up to now on here, I'm 37 and have been a GT player since GT1 on the PS1 :-)

GT was actually the reason I bought a PS1, played the game loads at a work mates house, loved the idea of not only racing and earning money, but the upgrading and tuning you could do on GT let alone all those cars you could buy!

I'm still as much a fan these days with GT5 as I've ever been, just love it.
