Gran Turismo 5 gameplay 03-05

Working my way through the licenses in this game, some of them are alot of fun. Others seem nearly impossible to get gold in, though sometimes I find myself winning first even when I expected not to. Driving an EVO 8 on some dirt and had alot of fun with it. Many cars to try out in the license tests. Now a days its not as important to get licenses as they do not stop you from progressing. But still a great way to earn XP and try out some cars you would not have otherwise.

Some of these dirt turns you need to slow way down to make, others you can just drift through them.

Amazed I got gold, some of these rally races I am doing pretty good at. Though a couple I just had to give up on trying as I kept getting disqualified.

Overtaking was the subject of this test, the Dodge viper is too fast to catch on the straight aways but it slows down for turns quite a bit. So trying to over take it in this tight corner is the goal.

Did some races with classic cars, forgot was I was driving in this race quite honestly.

I won some weird concept car. Will probably use it for some race when none of my other cars qualify.

A GT86 prototype, when this game came out the FRS was not out yet so this was a concept car for the game. Or maybe it just came out right around the time the game launched.

Another rally car test, this time on snow.

If you think its hard to turn on dirt, try snow.. its pretty rough and you really need to baby your way through the twisties. Otherwise you just go sliding.

Driving a Ferrari F40, alot of fun. And those banked turns really lets you get some speed in and out of the corners.

Won myself a Miata, a yellow one. Good to have it as there is an all Miata race in the series.

Going on the Nurburgring on test IA-6. I have to handle some blind corners by visualizing a line.

Sometimes I just go with bronze, but I think if I tried harder and got all golds I would win a better car. Honestly not worth the frustration, some of these tests are quite hard and just getting bronze I am happy with it.

Another race in the license tests, got to be careful not to get off track or bump them too hard or I get disqualified.

Some super cars in this test, you only get two laps to pass sixteen cars. The target is 1st place, silver if you get third and bronze if you get 7th.

I love this straight away that goes over a bridge.

Taking a break from the license tests I do a all truck race.. Not really looking forward to this one but need to finish so I can complete one of the series.

The corkscrew at Laguna Seca is rough, even more so with a bunch of trucks.

Next is one of those high speed oval races. Going to need to upgrade my truck to keep up.

Adding some horsepower I now find myself keeping up with the pack, though passing all of them will be quite the challenge.

I had to try a few times, spun out while getting tapped by another truck. At high speeds does not take much to unbalance your car, or truck in this case.
