If there was a mid race save feature I would absolutely love doing the Le Mans and Nurburgring 24 Hour races.

I do love driving around Le Mans and Nurburgring (Nordschleife and 24 Hour variations) in practice mode to see the sunsets and sunrises. Makes both circuits look absolutely stunning!
 
Turning off every single assist, setting the steering to simulation, getting in my Lamborghini SV and going to a rainy Nurburgring :D
 
I like messing around with my cars on the Top Gear test track. That place is a playground for our cars. Sometimes I don't even follow the track I just drift or see how fast I can take my car on the straight.

Or lapping in a reasonably priced car. hehehe..
 
Listening to Journey, Dont Stop Believing, on my Mach 1 Mustang.

Oh God, that is awful. After the song is over do you then go and watch watch The Breakfast Club? :lol:

At least it's better than driving the Camaro IROC-Z ‘88
while blaring Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive Fifty-Five.
 
Testing out every new car i get at the Top Gear Test Track :)

Same here. Stock cars with Sports Hard tyres and checking out lap times in each. And also on Nordschleife.

I do like cars you can make dance though e.g. Lancia S4 - Can smoke all arches around every corner in Top Gear with MAXIMUM control. Always fun.

In fact the first time I unlocked the Endurance at level 25 I did it with an FGT and although fast was a very boring 60 laps - Then I swapped to the S4 Lancia and smoked arches around every corner. This was fun until the tyres died on about lap 9 heheh.

Love the Peugeot 205 1985 souped up to around 360bhp - Much the same as the S4 Lancia and also the Escort Rally car souped up. ALL OF THEM DANCE.

Standard Gallardo's are fun too with it's 4WD and pretty easy to make them arches smoke with pure control on just Sports Hard.

I'm not much of a drifter fanatic but when I'm with my mates online and just in front of them I'll always give them a 'Smoke Show' on applicable corners.

But generally I like to benchmark my cars on the Top Gear track to see how I compare...

EDIT : I do however wish that you could select track e.g. Nordshchleife and choose the other 15 cars racing along with you, instead of the A, B or C choice of competitor which is always in the same class car just at different difficulty levels. You could SORT of do this in Prologue where you had option of 1 - 101 of car spec in the race which was kinda nice. But when I'm free running on Nord I'd like to see some normal Golf GTIs, Volvos etc while I'm in my Enzo. Like the AMG challenges where it puts a load of different Mercedes on track during the lap. Would be nice to see this with all sorts of cars.

AND juts for my wishlist to future GT5/6 updates - I would LOVE to see a 15 to 20 mile track of a real road with oncoming traffic (randomly generated) so you could test your cars out (yes Very NEED FOR SPEED, but with a GT5 game engine that we already have!). Juts one track of real road with randomly generated oncoming traffic, thats all I ask :)

I love goign to special stage route 7, and doing some tunnel drags online. That alone has made me want to keep playing the game. I find myself paying for stupid cars I don't need mor ethan useful ones.
 
Drifting 'round the Nordschleife in my S2000 or BMW M5...or just driving around it in general, with any car. Such a beautiful track.
 
Right now I am finishing a 4-hour endurance race on B-Spec, and then I'll have about 200k experience to go for a free Red Bull...I think I will like that.

In the mean time, I am getting into collecting odd-looking and/or fast cars. I fully tune everything I buy though, so I don't collect them all that quickly. I just hit 90 today. I need to work on my collection of American muscle cars, so the thx certified speakers I am getting for Christmas have something to sing to (family Christmas is the 2nd to due travel and scheduling)
 
I like to take my chrome LFA to any track and just sit there revving it just to listen to looovely engine noise :).
 
I love driving at the nordschleife time/weather change by myself since the AI sucks and people online are idiots.
