What track is that in the GT photo? I don't recognize it from the diagram.

I don't play racing games on PC anymore. Both of my computers are really old. PlayStation consoles and the Switch are all I play racing games on now.

Cool. I won't be playing GT7 for a while because I don't buy new consoles often and I only just bought my Switch about a month ago.

GT6. I've been binging on WRC 8 lately, but sometimes I find joy in revisiting GT6. I won the ten minutes of Rome with the special blue Corvette and then modded and raced an '86 Celica.

Actually, the Ford Racing games were not rally games. They were mainly road course games. The only rally games I have poured a lot of time into are Mobil 1 British Rally Championship for the PC, which a relative in Ireland gave me once and WRC 8 for the Switch. There's one fictional rally game I have, but it's a poor depiction of rally, the cars don't steer and I forget the title. I consider my true racing backgrounds in gaming to be NASCAR, Test Drive games and Gran Turismo with a little Indy Car thrown in.

WRC 8. I've switched makes a few times now. Unless I go back and complete the junior rally series I won't go back to Ford if I can help it.

The EA Sports Indy 500 game. You had to request your tires while in the pit box. How does that lead to a quick enough pit stop? Also there's no courtesy on the track, you could get wrecked at any second. The one good thing is that you can choose to have the Ilmor Chevrolet engine and be one of the ten fastest cars in the field. I never won the Indy 500 in the game, I may have won the 125 mile short race once though.

Ford Racing 2. You'll never reach the time trial times no matter how smoothly you drive, but you get to see some legendary American cars as they would have appeared as new cars, so it's worth it. By the way, I am still a Chevy fan, I just sometimes like Ford games.

Yeah, that's true.

Okay, well now perhaps I know.

If there's a car that I fear in video games its the Lancia Stratos. I have more chance of crashing in that car than just about any other car, regardless which game its in.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon.

I know. I have a big PS2 though, that I've had for about 20 years with no major problem.

I don't feel like I crash that often. I did crash today in GT6 driving the '76 Ferrari 512 BB, but I don't feel like that car has very secure handling.

What was the most fun you've ever had playing Twisted Metal 4? For me it was playing as Sweettooth.

I might give GT7 a shot in a few years if I ever get a PS5.

Well, there's the rallies themselves, Training Days, Manufacturers Tryouts, Manufacturers Challenges, Historic Rallies, Extreme condition events, test areas and those are just off the top of my head.

Do they still have Jay Leno's Olds Toronado? I love that thing.

Yeah. I've completed GT6 years ago. I already had a '62 Buick, but I sold it when I sold a lot of other cars off because I was craving '60's Le Mans race cars. This was around the time Ford Vs. Ferrari came out in theaters.

Yes. These are events in WRC 8.

I'll get to it. I'm also good at Manufacturer Tryouts and Training Days.

Which is too expensive for what it is.

Thanks Justin. I'm at level 50 experience and I've finished in the top ten at least once.

I know that in GT 6 the '62 Buick Special costs $725,000. I forget what it costs in say GT4, but I believe it's around $75,000.

World Rally Championship 8 for the Nintendo Switch. It's the series that Colin McCrae used to race in. Rally runs through forests and snow etc. I love the game even though I'm not that good at it.
