I'm 28,and playing Gt since 98'
played every single gt,but with ps1 first game i bought was V rally (haha,my fault) but the second one was Gt!Still enjoy and now even my older son is driving gt5...
 
I'm 41 and bought a ps1 just for Gran Turismo.
Played it first time at a friends place, couldn't stop playing and bought it the next morning!
Before I only played Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix and NFS on my 486DX4 100 PC...
 
Im creeping up on 32 and Ive been COMPLETELY hooked on GT since day 1 of the franchise. That will never change :) In fact I purchased my ps3 solely for what was at the time GT5P. After I caught the GT bug again, I made the jump to a playseat and a G25 (my first wheel) in oh, I dunno, 2-3 weeks tops. This was quite a change coming from someone who had been a controller player since the start of GT. I quickly adapted and have only been going faster since. Don't think that's going to change anytime soon either
 
I'm 13, been playing GT3 since I was six, best game of my early childhood (5-10) I'm amazed at the high percentage of older gamers here, makes me seem even younger. Don't worry i'm quite mature, most of the time. ;)
 
41 yrs old here been playing gt back in the early days me and my brother,we were hooked on the one where you could change almost all the cars to race car's..my favorite car then was the mitsubishi 3000gt when u add the RM to it, it would change to a puma race car with a big puma stripe decal down the side,i used to love that car.looking to get my wheel soon though,but until then ds3 all the way...
 
I am 44 and I started with GT3 at a friends house back in ... 2001? My niece got a PS2 and GT3 for Christmas (I think the same year) and I played that a couple of times. Then I played Project Gotham Racing at my friends house (he had all the gaming consoles, plus several full size arcade games). I remembered that GT3 seemed more realistic, so I would monopolize his TV (72" plasma) by playing GT3 on his PS2. Right after the release of GT4 I finally had a TV of my own and got a PS2 and GT4. I bought GT, GT2, and GT3 and occasionally played them. When GT5 Prologue was released I got a PS3. I won a copy of GT PSP so I bought a used PSP so I could play it. I pre-ordered GT5 and got it early on release day (store didn't open at midnight). The only other video games I play at home are the CoD series.

Gran Turismo is about 80% of my gaming experience and the reason I own a PS2, PS3, and PSP.

Without Gran Turismo and Speed TV, BBC America (for Top Gear) and Discovery/Science/Military/History channels, I probably wouldn't own a TV.

30 and playing since gt1, got a psu demo disc with a pizza hut pizza. That demo had many games I bought... Tomber raider, gt1, einhinder, crash bandicoot, very cool stuff. Gt1 demo had 1nsx and 1 corvette only on high speed ring.
 
Always been a car fanatic, and I am 29 now.

I have been playing since GT1.

Just found out about GT Planet a little while ago, as my job takes away from most of my gaming and internet surfing time.

Its a great site, but I love my job too.

I'm 15 as of yesterday and have been playing Gran Turismo since GT1 when it came out. So I played the game when I was... 3 or 4. :)
 
30, started playing it since the UK GT1 release, still got that copy and it coincided with the release of the dual shock pad. I think I had exams at that time >_<
Played all the full releases, well yeah in the same boat as PAPA, time is a great restriction.
 
I'm 13 i guess i'm the youngest one here??? I've played gt since 2000 i thinki played gt2 and everyone of the gt games since but not gt1 :(
 
I'm 20 years old and started with GT4. Moved to U.S when I was 13 and wasn't really into games much but my cousin got me a ps2 and I fell in love with games lol
 
28, playing since GT3 (when I bought a PS2).

Always played GT1 over at friends places though. Main reason for getting the PS2 was GT3 (and PS3 / GT5).

This is the first series I've played with a wheel (DFGT on a wheel stand pro, temp living room setup). So much of a difference, so much freaking better.
 
I'm 29 and first GT game was GT5. So I've been playing for about 5 months and a member here for about 3 or 4 months.

Good crowd here on GTP. Recently gotten into the online leagues which is full of fast and clean racers.👍
 
37, started with GT1, have had all the "major" releases since including PSP. Loving GT5 (got it in Feb with the PS3). It is about all I play, 2 kids suck up most of my time... at some stage I will get GTA4 (my other PS vice)

You're 13 years old, but you started playing the game 11 years ago?

You must have been a very intelligent 2 year old.
