I absolutely love doing a race, and while watching the replay, put on some Creedence Clearwater Revival as the BGM. Absolutely magnificent.
 
Cruising online with all my beautiful cars.
Reading GTPlanet while B-spec is driving my beautiful cars. ;)
 
Tuning stock hp cars for the lowest ride height, and seeing how fast I can do various tracks.

Exploring the quirks ofncars and the engine notes are also amusing to me.
 
Taking my RM ZR1 on the Ring (24 hour version) without opponents and driving at night with the lights off in my room and the HUD removed. It's a wonderful experience.
 
Laguna .. Dodge Viper GTS fully tuned .. trying to beat 1.16.xx (using D-pad) whilst listening to Classical music .. The car looks like poetry in motion coming through the Corkscrew .. great to watch the replays with a chilled beer and Classical too .. I could do with a tune for this car for this track if anyone has one ?
 
I developed a tune for the GTS that makes it SO eager to turn into corners, my driving style meant the GTS was a pig for understeer, with my tune the way it dives into corners is heavenly lol
 
Been having fun online but I have always liked the photo travel part of the game. Its just a bummer that only 200 20% of the cars can be taken there. :grumpy:
Most of the online rooms I join are fairly clean and the shuffle rooms are my favorite because the tracks and the cars are all random. But you can vote on the tracks if you want. The only problem with shuffle rooms is 9 out of 10 cars you get will be standard. So that means no interior view.
 
"What do you love doing on GT5? "

Pulling my hair out at each and every 'Doh!' moment in the game.

I got a 396hp 'x' car. New Event needs a 395hp 'x' car. I got to buy ANOTHER car, because upgrades can't be removed (or boost detuned). Doh!

License Tests are some of the most stringent, difficult, FUN challenges in the game. But A-Spec, you can happily go back to ramming, bashing and forcing your way around, cutting track corners and generally ignoring everything you had to learn... Doh!

I can't save an Endurance Race if my power goes off, and my UPS starts getting low and my TV shuts off. Doh!

Watching B-Spec Bob, blow a 10 sec lead at Daytona, now matter HOW many times you hit 'Pace up' ... Doh!

Come on, everybody join in... it's SO MUCH FUN..! :rolleyes:
 
i just love buying and collecting the cars i love in different colors, taking them out for a casual drive on scenic tracks like Cote D'azur, Toscana, Nurburgring, etc. and then doing photoshoots.
 
buying premiums, slamming them (ride height), getting titanium exhausts, putting on aero kits and changing rims! never felt so good! i was saving all my money but my brother made me do this to my c63amg after i bought it for him and i caved in!
 
I love the sound that my 69 camaro RM makes.

I love watching Bob race my Cobra. I can't drive the thing to save my life, but I can put him in it and watch him win all day. Another great sounding car.

running around the ring is another great joy.

In general, this is my first racing game that I finally broke down to get the wheel setup and the custom rig to mount it to. That has made it crazy fun compared to other racing games I've played.

I have to say, the really fast cars like Zonda R or other LMP type race cars that are crazy fast, just aren't that fun to me. The only reason I'm saving for the FGT car is for my Bobs to get done with races faster. They are super twitchy and unforgiving cars to drive. I just have more fun driving my fully modded BMW M3 or the fore mentioned 69 Camaro RM.
 
I love taking cars around the Top Gear Test Track (having beat the dumb VW Bus Race), and narrating like I am making a Top Gear movie.

I know, I am a dork.

PS - Just found out that the track can be unlocked by getting bronze in all 3 events. Lame -_- :p
 
I love going to the Top Gear Test Track in Arcade mode, and doing a long-ish race there against the AI just to watch them get smashed into by themselves in the cross zone.


I love racing NASCAR at Daytona, although I wish the crashing was more realistic.

I'd have to agree. I wish damage was better across the board. Forza had some good damage, but it mostly degenerated into Michael Bay type eruptions of car parts and loud explosions.

That Camaro is my favorite car at the moment. It's not the fastest by far, but you just feel grounded when driving it. I don't work up into a sweat trying to keep it on the road like faster cars. No other car has translated itself into my steering wheel like that Camaro.

I loved showing my wife how to keep Bob going in B-Spec so he could generate cash so I can achieve my goal of buying and RM'ing all 17 cars in the game.

I also built a test track that's extremely fast, and technical enough to have you standing on the brakes occasionally. I love testing cars on that track. In fact, the only reason I race is to generate cash for buying and tuning cars.
