Further explanation of the theme, provided by uh, me! SlipZtrEm:

"It all started somewhere. Back in late 1997, some of us popped a CD into our PlayStations
only to be greeted by this:



Of course, now we can make images even better than that pre-rendered intro! I'd like to see
the cars and tracks of GT1 this week, a look back at where many of us got bit by the
enthusiast bug. As well as artistic quality, I will be looking for shots that pay tribute
to some of the unique moments GT1 presented us with. Have fun!



CARS: Here's a list of GT5's acceptable cars!
LOCATIONS: GT1 Track List
PHOTOTRAVEL: Er, no!
UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS: See above

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.
This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.

  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.
  • Not sure how to post a thumbnail or preview image? Read this sticky!
  • Please use a clickable-preview to full-size, not a separate text link for it;
    it makes poll creation much easier!

  • No post-GT5 editing, besides proportionally resize and rotate, is allowed.
    [*]One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a comp.
    [*]Do not ask other users to choose your entry.
    [*]Mark your FINAL ENTRY clearly, with red text. On H2H weeks, which side, as well.
    [*]You may change your entry once. Do it clearly; edit out your previous entry, and
    either post the new one in a new reply, or in place of the original.
    [*]When submitting, use either a thumbnail or a preview image, linked to the full-sizer.
    [*]Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
    [*]A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
    [*]Do not post "Honourable Mentions" or outtakes - just your Final Entry, that's all.
    [*]Winner gets to choose the following week's theme, as well as the Top 25. Every fourth
    week, the poll will be H2H style: entries must choose a "team", leading to two 12-picture,
    4-day polls. The winners from each faces off in a final 48 hour poll.
    [*]Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
    [*]The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

Properly good theme, I'll try to come up with something good. I was only six or so when I started playing Gran Turismo, and I remember my first race was at my uncle's house on High Speed Ring with a Viper, using the pre-dual shock controller. I had a hard time keeping it straight because throttle control wasn't exactly a possibility lol
 
:lol: Thanks!

This is the only competition I'll probably be entering this week :(
 
I never had GT1, I was a PC-er playing games like Gran Prix 3 and games with real damage like Toca 2. Until Codemasters ruined the series. So I have no idea what these unique moments are :P
 
Nice! The old intro gave me goosebumps - remember it like it was yesterday!
Also, the theme is great. Had it in the tournament before and it was one of the most enjoyable themes I had.👍
 
Not a lot of time for me this week but I really wanted to enter this theme - this was my first idea for a theme if I'd ever won a week, haha :)

So I might be back to change this later in the week but here we are for now.

No, wait, hang on...

FINAL ENTRY

clicky = big
 
Multi-car photos allowed? If thats the case maybe someone should arrange a photoshoot for everyone to participate in, would be pretty cool for this theme... lots of GT1 cars together :)

Final Entry

Like many others I never played GT1, I started with GT2 skipped 3 and 4 and went on to prologue and finally GT5.
Might change the pic later. I think the sepia gives an old nostalgic look which matches the theme.
 
FINAL ENTRY

Who could forget the fast FTO Touring Car and the jaw dropping Hi Fi version Clubman Stage Route 5.​
