Can't wait, Alex! 👍 It's good to see you back!
I'm going to be back for good soon... Maybe. I can actually photoshoot anytime soon (except for when I'm at work, obviously. Or sleeping. But maybe I could learn to take photo's in my sleep? Hmmm, ideas ideas). Thanks for dropping in, Justin.
This should be interesting.
Actually I think the first preview shot is pretty good I like the compostion and the red dust trails. 👍
Yeah, it's the most unedited shot I've had ever since I can remember editing my shots. Just changed the brightness/contrast. Once again, thank you very much for visiting, GPR.
These last two shots are very original. I agree with George about the Golf & Mini shot, good toning and light for a nice atmosphere 👍 And the Gallardo pic offers a very original "GoPro" angle with a good sense of speed
Thanks for visiting as always, Kodje.
The Gallardo shot has been sitting around about a year now.
Only half an hour before that preview did I edit it for uploading. I liked the grainy look of the road.

Anyway, I originally said I would upload the full GT5 Farewell Update a day before GT6's release. But 3 or 4 days before is close enough for me. So here we go.
Farewell Mr Problematic
We all know that GT5 had a difficult upbringing. Even when the game finally did get into Gamer hands at the end of 2010, there were many problems which turned a lot of players away from the game. Standard cars, disappearing ground, escaping the track, the list went on. GT5 has been problematic for fans and Polyphony Digital, but the true fans are the ones who have stayed till the end, and watched as Kaz and his team of Top race sim creating boffins worked out the kinks and even got new content to us. It's been an amazing ride, and here we are saying goodbye... Even though half of the time I wasn't really there. I was too distracted with PC racing sims, or music. Which one still takes priority.
So here we start the farewell, with a recreation, of the first shot I actually uploaded in this gallery, which appears to no longer exist, and I can't find the original. Can you guess what the car will be? It's quite obvious, I've been obsessed with it ever since GT5 came out at the end of 2010...
Oh of course...

The SLS has been a faithful companion, even though I mainly use it as recreation rather than for racing purposes. Even though both driving and racing are technically recreational. The first track I drove it on was Eiger Nordwand, which also served as the location of my first GT5 shot... Which was sort of terrible.
And next, my beloved Group C car from my Gran Turismo 4 days. Was going to do this set at Circuit De La Sarthe... but that is far too mainstream, so I went hipster and took it the the next best place.
Note: Unedited next shot!
It's Summer! It's Autumn! It's whatever the third box is! It's EVERYTHING!!!
Next, the old Lotus Exige (Motor Sport Elise in game). The car I sought after for so long in the UCD, but never actually found one... Ever. It never came up, and I had been wanting one for literally years. I finally snapped in November/December 2012 and decided to simply call upon SVX for one... And I finally got it.
Too bad it's only ever had 1 shot in this gallery... And this is it right here.
And now it's gone... Hopefully GT6 will treat this brilliant car better. Guess we'll see when I get my copy.
Now, it's time for a bunch of unedited shots. More like shots that I was going to edit, but couldn't be bothered editing... Except for the first one, that's unedited because it looks decent.
Back to edited shots, because I'm getting bored dog droppings which
haven't been polished.
Only joking, my shots aren't dog droppings... Dog droppings are far too artistic. My dog did one shaped like a castle last week.
And now, for the final full set of new original shots. We start with... The Fiat 500! Slow it may be, but it is still brilliant... There's nothing more fun than going online with friends for some Fiat 500 derby (a few trucks for good measure).
♫See the Beauty... Of the night sky
See the beauty... Of the stars before my eyes♫
Wait, what!? Shut up, I wasn't singing... Wait, I'm actually a singer. I'm allowed to sing. Sorry, false alarm! You can unshut up now!
What? I'm meant to be running a GT5 Gallery? Oh yeah, I forgot. Here, take some... Other shots.
The fountain of Tamora!! Dun! Dun! DUUUUN!!!
You can only get there in a TVR, so chances are you'll go spinning around in circles past it while on fire... So don't try going there. Because even if you do, you can't get in or out because every TVR has special door handles.
I've actually always loved the Tamora. Everyone sees it as the dud car of TVR's now dead lineup. But for me it looks great, and goes great without murdering coming to murder you when you least expect it (usually before you've started moving).
And now, we have to bring this farewell set to a close... One last shot to send off this GT5 Gallery... No seriously, this is a big moment (for me).
We go...
Onwards.
A Viper ACR. I bet you didn't expect that, right? You thought it would be an SLS. Well, there were issues with that.
Recently Mercedes decided to drop the SLS, and I wanted to finish my gallery on a car that is still in production, but that I also liked. So I chose the next best thing, the Viper. You may say, "but that Viper isn't in production now either," and you would be right. But there is the new SRT Viper, so the Viper is still with us.
I guess you can guess what I'm starting my GT6 gallery with then?
👍
Thanks for being a great support for pretty much all of my gallery, Justin.
