And a few simple tips for people new to GT who want to improve their leaderboard times a LOT:

1) Turn off TRACTION CONTROL in the car settings / options

2) Manual transmission, of course, will get you there faster

3) Do NOT blindly follow the driving line… it does NOT give you the fastest time all the time…

4) Be very gentle with turning / the left stick. No sudden sharp turns. You want to disrupt your car from going straight as little as possible. The more you turn your car (even the slightest degree) the slower it will go..even if you have the gas pedal held down all the way.. Just like real life…

Anyway, best rank I’ve been able to get in this GT academy is 9 thousand… I’m having a HARD time accepting that 9 thousand…9 THOUSAND people are better than me at GT… it makes me very sad lol, I’m pretty damn good at the game too, like I said I’ve been playing it since the beginning and am VERY smooth around the corners etc… Crazy.

Maybe I’ll be better with faster cars (can’t say the Nissan LEAF is the kind of “speed” I like ;) Will be spending more time with the new races this week to see if I can cut deeper into the leaderboards. Sometimes you gotta do 50 laps until you find the PERFECT line, all about practice.. that’s why I love GT or any competitive game!

at #6 …. he probably plays on a REAL TV?? ;) I’ve been playing..and in love with…. GT since GT1 on PS1… GT5 looks amazing but it doesn’t look THAT smooth. Anyone that has played GT5 for a few hours (or hundreds of hours like most GT fans like me…) KNOWS that the shadows are jagged and the corners are not as smooth as the pics they show us. Either way, the game still looks and RUNS amazingly (1080p at SIXTY frames per second as well), so I’m not complaining but I just wanted to sort things out ;) No reason to lie about graphics nomatter how much you love the game.. at least for most of us…

@ # 3 very well said :)

@ # 4, No! Not really enhanced at all. That is exactly how it looks. What kind of crappy TV do you own?

this is one insane contest, Ive gotten gold in all the stages but still in like the 69000ish rank. Crazy good driving by a lot of people.

@RINGPULL-UK, I think you just need a better TV because GT5 looks a lot like that for me. I dont know about the car interior because I dont drive with that view but the other is pretty spot on.
