Gran Turismo 5 (Car comparisson)

[Marcel Penzkofer]

First of all, hello to you guys!

I am a bit of a statistics freak, almost creating one per two days. My thought was to create a powerboard like we know it from TopGear, where you can see how a car performs on a given track.
My choise has been the Shorttrack-Layout of the Nuerburgring, to create somewhat like "German Top Gear". I even think of some short but funny and informative car-reviews (a bit like Clarkson Style) just with my crappy english knowledge or so. But I'll only do that if people are interested in that :).

Just one final thing about the laptimes - I know you can go quicker, but given the limited time every car gets and the fact that I turn of Aids whenever possible, the times are quite representative in my humble opinion.

Tell me what you think about it, keen to read your thoughts :).

Sadly I had to choose between a black or white preview picture so I went for the white one because I do use the white classic forum-style.

Thank you all . If you are interested in any car you know in GT5, I might be more motivated to give it a run. In order I own it for sure .

The only comment I have is why does PD still insist on presenting power to weight ratios using horsepower as measured in Imperial, and weight measure in kilograms. If you're gonna present power to weight ratios both power and weight have to be measure in the same system otherwise the numbers won't make sense.


Ok, other than the gripe, this is a cool idea.
