Been playing since 2001 (GT1 - GT5p), my friend had GT1 and I just had to have it. Back then I gamesharked, rode walls, played bumper cars and whatnot but w/e.

Picked up GT4 again this summer and actually played seriously, bought GT5p like a month ago. and despite all this time playing I still suck haha.

PS I hate racing with a DS2/3
 
24, been playing GT since the first game shortly after its release (late 98?), but I always played/borrowed friends copies of GT1 and GT2 since these were the games that only properly got me into cars. I was the first of my friends to have a PS2 so I bought GT3 and the rest is history.
 
I'm 37 and I've been playing since Gran Turismo. I've played all through the GT series but of two the Concepts and one other. Really didn't bother to get them any way.
 
I'll be 17 in two weeks and I've been playing since GT2. I've owned all of the GT's except for the GT4 spin-offs and GT1. I have played GT1 though, just not owned it.
 
I'm 28. The first GT I played was GT3 but I didn't start getting decent at until a couple years into GT4. I'm finally reached moderate level in GTP. But in GTP I finally decided to make the switch from controller to wheel and it took me a while to get used to it but now I try to only play with the wheel.

I'm no good with the wheel in other games like Codemasters Grid/Dirt, for some reason it just feel as tight with GT leading to tons of accidents.
 
I'm 16, and I first played GT back in 1998 when I got my PS1. GT1 was one of the games that came with it. I didn't exactly know what to do and i just fiddled with the game since I was really young. Then came GT2, and I've been playing every GT game since then.

Your parents bout you a PS1 when you were 4. WOW
 
I'm 14, first time I ever played GT was in 2001 it was GT3 at my cousins house, I was only 4 my cousin gave me the Polyphony 001 and put me in I think it was the Sunday cup I came third, he said I was pretty good for a 4 year old and ever since then GT has always been my favourite game I've owned all GT's ever since GT3 except for GT concept and I have a G25. Now I'm just doing GT4 all over again because I love the progress that you make in the game like you start off with a slow car and work your way up to the mid-ranged cars ( GTR's, Evo's, M3's etc... ) then to the touring cars and then the lemans cars.
 
I'm 28 and i've been playing since GT1.

I was a big car nut long before Gran Turismo came out.I seen in a Car magazine that it was coming out soon.I nearly fell over with joy reading the amount of cars and the simluation factor the game was going to have.I remember doing twice as many chores just to get this game.:sly:
 
I'm 20 and I've been playing GT since I bought the first one on the original Playstation. I had it when I was in elementary school. I bragged that it had 140 cars and all of my friends hated it because it was too hard. :)
 
I'm 29, and started with GT1 shortly after launch.

But then I skipped GT2, didn't care for GT3, and only started on GT4 after playstation3 released. Waited until the psp version was clearanced for $10.

Guess I was more of a forza/segaGT fan up until I got a decent wheel.
 
I am turning 50 on November 25, have been playing GT since one rainy day when my wife hired a PS1 and Gt2 from the local video store.
I never even played videogames until then, but was hooked.
Guess you could say that GT changed my life, LOL
 
I'm 20 and I've been playing GT since I got my PS1 in 2000...I begin with GT2 (my first game on ps1) then GT1 then I bought My PS2 in 2002 with GT3(my first game on ps2....got 160 now....)and GT4.I bought Tourist trophy too ..even if I'am not a bike guy.. I'm waiting holidays to make the big step to the ps3...got games but need the console.
 
I`m 32 and have played GT1,GT2,GT3,GT4,GTHD and GT5P.
To me it`s not just a game, It is the best chance drive all these great cars.
It wont ever be possible for me where I live to get a really cool car, because all cars is plus 180% in taxes. So a 10,000 dollar car would cost 28,000 here in Dk.
So thanks PD for giving me the chance to race anyway:)
I`ll keep on racing GT games forever. Just imagine how cool it`will be in 20 years:sly:
 
17 here!! And I've been playing since GT3 because I never had a PS1 :(
I did play GT1 in a friends house, so the only main series GT I haven't played is GT2.
I own GT3, GT4 and GT5:P, and I am waiting so bad for GT5 :D
 
I'm 24 I've played all GRAN TURISMO series and still have it in my collection :D
GT1 it was my first racing game on PSone. when I saw GTR-33 in GT1 I said oh no! that's my fav car GTR and first time to see R33 XD
i'm really enjoying this game and I don't look at any racing games. GT FTW ^^
 
Im that old I can't even remember if i've replied on this thread.

Im 39 but feel 59 and have been playing GT since this wonderful franchise arrived. Still remember the day vivdly when I first played GT1 and how my jaw dropped at the intro. A magical moment because I remember thinking "how on earth have they managed to do this".
 
I'm 28 and remember the first time I played GT1 at a girlfriends house on her brothers ps1, had to get hold of one after that and progressed to GT2 when it came out (was that the scratch and sniff disc?), was a bit late getting a ps2 as I moved out of home when I was 17 so I eventually got one with GT3 then moved on to GT4, remember that none of my friends ever wanted to race against me in split screen so if they did I would always 'lose' control just before the finish line and let them win! Bought a ps3 ready for GT5's release, but that was about 3 years ago, and still waiting............!! But GT5p has filled the time, I even went back to GT4 when I purchased a DFGT.

Glad to see there are some older users out there, now I can tell the wife I'm not just a big kid!
 
im 35 married 2 kids and i've been Playing GT since day one
Still have all the titles and my PS1 PS2 and now the PS3
GT is the business.......
 
29, owned every version but the psp. Even bought a japanese ps2 and versions on that system so I could get the gt4 version earlier. Remembered cutting class in school to race with friends with the first gt.
 
22 now

First played GT2 when it came out but didn't have it. Got GT3 when I was 14 and played it to death. Didn't start playing with a wheel until this time last year though
