In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Sorted. 
Nice one.
Nice one.Thanks Nick, I'll have a go with it later on today and then send it back to you.
Anyone else having random freezing problems since 1.07? My son has had 2 whilst playing in arcade mode over the last hour and a half on London and Monaco respectively. It's not the PS3 itself, as you can press the PS button to go to the XMB and quit the game and restart, they must have introduced a bug somewhere. Maybe I should clean my HDD up and get rid of some of the bloody TV my wife has been recording.
haven't noticed any but I've not played arcade at all so it might be arcade specific. I was doing the X1 challenge and didn't have any freezing issues
Keep it mate, I backed up before and restored after sending it so I've still got it
Weaste I have sent you a gift, courtesy of services rendered to the Gran Turismo 5 RedCafe thread.
A lad who works with my mate left his playstation on so that he could use the new remote B-spec feature but when he tried to log in he couldn't get it to work and then when he got home the playstation had turned itself off. When he switched it back on he had the dreaded yellow light.
Almost certainly a total coincidence, but it's put me off the idea of trying the remote B-spec so thought I'd mention it here and let you guys know.

Right, not been playing this as much as I should (change of circumstances mean I'm not on the 'Station as much as I'd like!).
So, anyone here be interested in buying a wheel stand pro and Logitech Driving Force GT?
All works perfect (not far off new) but isn't getting used and is just taking up space and gathering dust, will be boshing it up on eBay but thought I would offer it up here (I'm Manchester city centre BTW)...

Thank you very much, shall look at what it is.
24 hr races are worth it only to se the transition in light from day to night. Stunning.

Thank you too sir!
Graphically the game has some quibbles, but generally yes, in 1080p it is stunning. The lighting is something else at times.
It's unreal. The subtleness in the change of light, the elongated shadows as the sun sets and sharper reflections from the low sun. They really really got that spot on. Most impressive part of the game for me.
No worries, Leg-End deserves the thanks really as he gave it me in the first place!
are you still looking for chrome paint? got one named 'silver chrome' if that's the one you're after.
Lots of things on the way including in game race saves for endurance events.
awesome
Does it show up under the chrome tab of the list? You can narrow the paint down to type and if it is then that would be the one I am after yes. The reason I ask is there are a couple of paints that have chrome in the title but arn't actually chrome.
I swear the B-Spec drivers should have a 'retard' bar alongside 'accuracy' and 'cornering' etc so we can gauge just how retarded they are. I'm tryin to do the historic racing car cup in Monaco and every single time my driver will pass someone through or coming out of the tunnel and then turn in for the chicane too early, hit the wall and lose a whole bunch of places! It's driving me bloody mental!
On a more positive note I got the 'Human Stopwatch' trophy last night which is 'complete three consecutive laps with times within 0.2 seconds of the Best Lap Time'

So is this basically the same game as the original GT? I was such a big fan of that, best racing game ever IMO. But since then they basically used new engines and never bothered doing anything else with the game.
So?

Try doing the NASCAR with them.

Not looking forward to that, NASCAR annoys me enough on A-Spec, it's a total lottery on the oval tracks with the stupid bloody drafting that goes on, doesn't actually matter how well you drive.

yeah that's really annoying. there's some good guides to go with around those
but basically you spend the whole track telling them to speed up until they hit the tunnel then you tell'em to decrease pace.
also the penultimate corner (final chicane) before the pit straight they tend to hit the wall/spin there
Yea he hit that wall a few times too. I got silver but that was after taking the lead and then spinning out on the last lap to let the Chaperelle back through. I've spat my dummy out with that race for now, doing some long ones in the red bull to rack up points.
Exactly. Can they draft? Can they feck. Then the one on the tracks even, the feckers just burn their tires all the time speeding up and turning etc and they blow out and then lose, or come in to change tyres and lose. Wankers.
That sounds well annoying!

Leg-end, you getting in on this?

Nah, I mean I think I'm fast but I ain't fast enough or dedicated enough to ever get the very top times, the same reason when I'm sim racing I'm always a points/podium finisher instead of regular winner.
Finished the 24hr Circuit de la Sarthe last night, best lap at 2:17 although it gets hard to keep concentrated. I had four consecutive laps of 2:19 and lower which I was pretty chuffed about.
How many nights did you do that over? Did you have to do the full 24hrs or does using the X1 and putting in such fast laps reduce the overall time you need to spend on it?
Oh, I spent weeks on it. Using the X1 enables you to for instance take a break while a football match is on without pressing pause. So you won't need to do 24 hours but I'm not sure how many hours you need to drive.
haven't logged on for a while now... has the save function been enabled yet?
I'm having a funny issue again after 1.09. After a race in arcade mode, if you let the replay run for too long, then the start and select buttons cease to function, you have to quit the game, PS button has no problem bringing up the XMB, quit, restart, and then the buttons work again. Very odd!
I got bored of this game very early as compared to other Gran Turismos. I still pick it up every now and again but I don't have the will to spend the ammount of hours I thought I would spend. The new GT mode doesn't cut it to me in comparison to the previous...
I could play it all day if I had the time. My son is getting seriously good now on arcade mode at the most advanced level, posting lap times of not much more than 5 or 6 seconds more than me. The F1 car on the seasonal events though is a total disaster for him, so there's lots to learn.
I was gonna platinum this until it got insanely boring racing around the same events in the same cars for hours.
Next update as far as I understand it will provide some new tracks, and a few more cars.
That should help then, but still they completly messed up the experience system on this game on its initial release.
I got an admin warning over at GTplanet for calling a bunch of dickheads out on their abuse at PD 'lazy etc' even though they've just gone through a rather large natural disaster... Nobody else received one...
