You know you have ALREADY played GT5 too much when...

When you walk sideways thinking that you're drifting

this, and racing line with shopping carts
all the time

When you start listening to Moon Over The Castle when you drive IRL

When you walk sideways thinking that you're drifting

Excellent! 👍

I do this all the time and I don't even pay it attention to it. Because sideways walking get you around corners quicker. True story.

Shaves 1.5-3 seconds with a good entry speed into a apex.

When you drive, you're wondering ' Why aren't the others wearing helmets and overalls?'

 

[LittleZippyUK]

...when you see a car crash and think, silly b-spec Bob.

 

[nt1138]

When you're asked to put some music on to make the house more festive, so you start GT and let the menu run 👍

Merry Christmas all

When you go to the tire dealer and ask for racing soft tires... :/

 

[Shoe67]

When you meet someone named Bob, and you ask what level they are,,,

 

[MSTER232]

... When you go to the Nurburgring on a trackday and you wonder why you can't control the weather.

... When you drive in the rain in real life and you wonder how the Grip Reduction setting automatically set itself to the Real setting.

... When you look for the RA dial when you're driving in real life (some cars might have this but a lot don't).

... When you already have GT5 and you write a letter to Santa that you want GT5 this Christmas, and the Christmas after that, and the Christmas after that, and the Christmas after that, and the Christmas after that, and the Christmas after that.

Why do I have a feeling that this has actually happened to someone ?

When you try and look for the R2 and L2 shifter buttons on the steering wheel of a real car and then find out it's not a Lambo and doesn't have a paddle shifter

This also happens to loads of GT5 players in real life . Anyways:

You know you have ALREADY played GT5 too much when...

- ... you go bankrupt and you tell yourself "Well at least I got the Penniless Trophy".

- ... a friend turns up in a car with tinted windows and you shout out "Should've got the premium version from the NCD".

- ... you buy a race suit, gloves, boots and helmet purely for the purpose of making GT5 seem more 'realistic'.

...when you become so bored with GT5, you throw it out of the window like a Frisbee.

... when you stay up for 24 hours straight playing GT5 (possibly doing the 24hrs of Le Mans/Nurburgring race).

When you start drifting the shopping cart in Wal-Mart. (True story )

I so do that!
If I'm pushing the trolley I always drift round the aisles and take the most awkward paths between shoppers. Then you feel smug because you didn't bump anything.

Everyone who likes cars does it, even me. But if you're also crazy enough to add sound effects then of course you're going to have some weird looks too .

I get the weird looks. So much so, my girlfriend doesn't let me push the trolley! Lol.

Next time, try making the drifting more discrete. And don't make sound effects so that's it's obvious.

Same here . My parents rented a car to do some holiday shopping. A Toyota Camry, and I drove it for the first time, I was looking for them. Where is the paddle shifters?!

Then I looked at the manual and we got the normal one not the paddle shifter one.

Or make low or silent sounds . Time to invest into a low sounding exhaust.

Or swap your mouth for an exhaust with a catalytic converter and three silencers fitted. That should do the trick nicely 👍 .

... When you are sitting inside a standard car in real life and you are amazed that it doesn't seem that the whole cockpit hasn't been taped up.

When you try to find the location of High Speed Ring on Google Maps

 

[sparkytooth]

When you make up locations for all the original tracks in your head.

When you try to find the location iof High Speed Ring on Google Maps

I actually looked this up on Google just for fun, but only hotels came up .

Don't worry, I'm not crazy and I know that High Speed Ring doesn't actually exist in real life.

[sparkytooth]

think real drivers are as stupid as the A.I. is in GT5

When you actually try to rebuild a engine in 30 seconds. :-)

When you slide on ice and try to hold it like a drift.

Deep Forest's in Russia!

that could also be from being a rally fan, watching WRC, and attending local rallies.

I have blue gloves, blue helmet, and [will have] blue track suit for my Subaru.
