Im 26 and Gran Turismo 1 was my first ever game.

I bought it with money i made from my Conformation even though i didn't own a PS1, i didnt care because once i seen the advert for it i was completely transfixed by the game. I played it with my best friend in his house all year until i could get a PS1 for xmas and then i played and i played until GT2 was released. To this day no other game has given me that same sense of satisfaction and emotion.

:tup:GT1
 
I'm 16, and have been playing since 1999 (GT2)

GT3 was my favourite GT until GT5 came along :)

GT's Owned:
GT2,
GT3,
GT4P
GT4
GT5P
GT5
 
I'm 17

I have all Gran Turismo since 1, even the PSP version and the 2 prologues.
I think i was 6 or 7 when I played for the first time. When i was a kid i sleep with Dodge, Subaro and Honda dealership music on GT1.
 
I'm 65 and started playing GT5 about 4 months ago...I'm addicted..
I'm probably not in any danger of setting any fastest lap times but I love this game.

So, I'm not the "Forum Elder" after all!

I'm not going to state my age, but here's a clue.... for my Birthday Ticket I got a pristine, 0 Miles, British racing Green E Type Jaguar!! And it was the "closest" prize as there was no car for my year of birth!

I'm the same as you.... don't have the reflexes to handle the Nurb too well, but love it all the same!

My mates are the same....
 
Fifteen and was about 10 when I first got a PS2 with GT4. Got a PS3 and GT5 for my birthday, but dropped it after a month (trying to get back into it mainly for my Race Report).
My mate's also lending me GT1-3.
 
34 been palying since day one on the old gray machine upside down!
Owned 1,2,3 (4 for 3 days and traded it in) started playing again with GT5 and havent stopped.

First post too.
 
I'm 17 and I've been playing since GT3 comes out :-)

btw. My brother play since GT5 comes out. He was 4 when he started playing GT5.

OMG, you brother is a future formula 1 driver!

I am 26. Been playing GT since the first one. I still remember the feeling when i first saw the trailer of in one of those playstation 1 demoes. I was like' I gotta have that game NAW!
 
I am 38 years old and played Pole Position on my Commodore 64(google it!)

I have played all GT games including Car Show versions.

Waiting for GT5 was madness but worth it!👍
 
I'm 29. I've played and own GT3, GT4, GT5 Prologue, and GT5. Sometimes I feel too old for this ish, and its getting harder to find time to play but still do. I will probably get GT6 too and play it for 5 mins every month when Im in my thirties.
 
I'm 20 and've been playing since 2004 on GT3. Got GT5 on December 1, 2010.


I really miss dem vintage F1 cars from GT3.
 
I'm 55 (!) and retired and been playing since... 2010!

Got a PS3 as a freebie with a new Sony TV, and started looking into driving games. First Sega Rally :yuck:, then much better with GT5P. Got GT5 as soon as it came out and despite its flaws and frustrations loved it until I got bored with it.

Decided to check up on what I'd missed, and bought a second-hand PS2 and all the major older GTs. So far I've gone GT3, GT1, GT2 and GT4. Just gone back to GT5, doing some of the odder challenges (golded VW Sambas today!).

I also like Shift 2 - a more visceral experience.
 
45 here all started with a rented copy of GT1 on a PS1 without a mem card so was left running 24/7 for a few days until I got a cheap none Sony mem Card those things were very pricey I seem to remember.

I then have owned pritty much all the main GT games form then one had both US version & EU Versions of GT 2 for the diffrent cars back then & then through to the PS2 GT3 GT4 & now GT5 on PS3 spent some much time on those first few games,its a little diffrent these days.

But its still one of my fav games:tup:

I'm inclined to say this is fake. There is no way a 4 year old is capable of that kind of throttle control accuracy and steering. The steering motions also don't match of completely. He was doing a decent job at syncing a replay done by someone a little older.
 
I'm 33 and have been playing since the demo that came with my first Playstation. I think that was around 1996 or 1997? Either way, long time player and devotee to the entire series, although not so much with 5, but that's for a different thread >:0)
 
I'll be 18 in a few months and I've been playing since GT1 on my original PS1 and bought every one since. Although I'm still waiting on the money and the time to upgrade to a wheel with one of those simulator set ups.
 
I am 48. Started when I had my vasectomy :embarrassed: about 10 years ago. I told my wife if I have to sit around for a couple of days with a bag of ice on my lap then I need something to do. So she got me a PS2 with GT3 (it was the least she could do ;)
