I like that with the online time trials, it shows you the other racers in your group and how you rank with them. I always got a good laugh when I would be ranked 98,000 something but still got the gold trophy. I dont think I have ever broken into the under 10,000 range.
BTW, SlotCarRod, it took me a little bit, but I beat your time on the 15th anniversary Apricot Hill time trial
I dont do much head to head online racing anymore, GT5 I got heavy into it (muscle cars on Daytona) but there were so many whiners that wouldnt take the time to set their cars up and do testing to keep up with the pack. Really ruined it for me. I loved a group of 10+ guys all doing 240+ in a tight group drafting and driving clean. Then the server glitching started, the PSN was hacked and it pretty much killed it for me.
Let's see if we can change this with GT6 though
