Almost exactly as above. Used to play pole position on my Atari too..... I actually think that was the first video game that got me hooked! :)
 
42 and raced GT when it 1st appeared then got GT2.
After that, sry folks - went to "SimBin's series" GTR, GPL(Papy), GTL, GTR2 and RaceWTCC series through to GTRevo. But when i heard GT5 was comin' i went and got a PS3 for this game a couple of months ago. Been totally hooked on GT5p and i tell ya', probably no more pc sim racin' for me now - appart from GPL. (maybe...)

But before the GT i can remember racin' when it was justa', square+4 smaller squares for wheels lol.

I was at Uni when the preview of GT1 appeared in Edge magazine. As a car nut, I was blown away that it was possible to do this kind of thing on a console. Convinced me to go out and buy Playstation 1 to play it.

Several versions of gt (and playstations) later, I'm 33 and waiting for my copy of GT5 today.
 
27 been playing since GT1, I remember walking past everyone in line at the EB games in the mall because I had it preorded. So many evil stares that some kid just waltz'd in and strolled out with the game no questions asked. So awesome!
 
41:) the wife thinks i have lost my mind :crazy: I got about an hours sleep last night :ill:Im going to drop the kids to school then hit gamestop then its goodbye social life...
ITS CHRISTMAS..:):):dopey::sly::sly:
 
I'm 58 & have been playing my own game since GT3 when I purchased my PS2. Also played earlier GT & GT2 on son's playstation. GT5 arrives today (I hope!)......
 
I'm 37 and I started back in 98 with Gt1 and have been with all the games in the series. For me Gt4 was where I spent most my time.
 
38, been playing Gran Turismo since Gran Turismo 1.


-edit

awesome to see many 25 years + peeps on these forums :)
 
My name is Frazer and i am a Grant Turismo addict.





I was told about the first Gran Turismo a week before the first game came out and have been hooked ever since. I am 31 and have played it ever since game 1. I have ever GT game that has been released in the uk including the pretty pointless concept game and also both the prologue fillers.
 
I'm 24 and have been playing since the first game. Good memories of my Mitsubishi GTO in the first game :)

i'm 23 and have been playing GT since day 1 in 1998 - I was 11 and saved up all my pocket money to buy it, mum took me to the shops after school lol. Owned every full GT since, plus GT4 and GT5 prologues
 
I'm 28 years old, been playing GT since the PSOne in 1999, have all the games except GT for PSP.

It's the only game which I've played for 24 hours non-stop. Can't see myself repeating that record now but who knows.
 
34 here and have been playing since the release of GT1. :)
I still remember the first time I played it and being blown away with the game and the replay mode.
Really great to see the variety of ages here. As they say, boys will always be boys!
 
I am 15 and have been playing GT since Christmas 2001. The first race I can remember playing was a 30 lap split screen race with my brother at Trial Mountain and I remember losing by about 3 or 4 laps.
 
28, been playing since original us release date also. posted regularily on GTF until the forum died, game sharked gt2 hybrids, drifting in gt3, toyota prius / mtrc demo, dont have time much now, priorities in life have shifted quite a bit since i was 16...
