M3 at Laguna Seca: Gran Turismo vs. Real Life: Part 2

Kayani_1 · 12-05-2013, 04:54 PM

One of my most favorite track. I absolutely love it. I recently was on PS3 and driving C7 vs E92 M3 man the C7 is in another league. But none the less M3 is fun to drive and confidence inspiring on this track. Not like some of those crazy cars Dodge Viper etc.

Gran Turismo looks so terrible... oh and every car has the same sound. It's just so behind.

monkawekrue · 12-06-2013, 05:00 AM

reminds me of my uncles set up for GT. so sick man. thanks for sharing.

1triple5 · 12-06-2013, 10:07 AM

Good stuff man I'd def be interested in seeing mire videos like this

Speedy_XL · 12-06-2013, 10:11 AM

Sick video. What's the cost for the total set up? And what are including in the set up?

army_men · 12-06-2013, 12:46 PM

awesome! I've been on track occasionally and a sim racing hobbyist, you seem to have a great handle on that track. You should try out iRacing at laguna seca, I personally find it a really hard and rewarding experience.

Check out the website. You're looking at roughly $1,000 + for that setup.

Behind what? It's still the best sim game you can play on any console.

ucmike · 12-06-2013, 10:39 PM

I've been playing GT6 a little today, got about 30 minutes into it after work. So far it is a lot of fun, but I am not going to do any judging until I at least buy a better car than the Honda Fit.

As for the engine sounds, yes they are slightly disappointing but I am able to look past it as the rest of the game is great.

Kayani_1 · 12-07-2013, 02:13 AM

Can't wait to play GT6. Too bad PlayStation 4 went to charging you to get on the internet. Otherwise it was awesome to race against people from all over the world online. You come across some real great drivers and cool people. Just avoid the lil kids who are just bashing into everything. I have only finished half 50% of my GT5. Just don't get the chance to play due to work. Last time I played a lot was couple of years back when they were having selections for the Nissan online event. I ended up placing in Top 8% of my region but not enough to advance

Yeah the game is fun but I agree sound can be improved and the basic interior sucks they need to give premium interior to all cars.

This is so cool. Good work!

Just an FYI, Gran Turismo 6 is on the PlayStation 3, which does not charge to play online.

325rider · 12-07-2013, 05:02 PM

I really love the setup. GT6 + Fanatec = surprisingly great.

Commencing Forever Alone status.

Nice! Don't forget to turn on sim steering in the game settings.

Kayani_1 · 12-07-2013, 06:14 PM

I have both the PS3 and PS4. I will buy it for both. Has anyone done a comparison of both side by side. I am pretty sure the experience is better on PS4 for game play purposes. Off course the no fee online of PS3 can't be beat.

There is no gran turismo on ps4.

Kayani_1 · 12-07-2013, 07:33 PM

I thought it was scheduled for release soon.

Unlike COD and many other games, GT only released it for PS3.

Yea I went ahead and browsed all the settings to get acquainted with everything, caught that there. Thanks tho.

One thing though, I want to shift the pedals on the CSR base but can't figure out how to uninstall them (to shift each pedal horizontally…) Any help?
