This is Pure Gran Turismo 

Cheers from the lovely frenchman ! It was a nice battle, and yes your move was legitimate.

Never did multi player, but in the days of GT1 and 3, my buddy and I would take turns driving on endurance races. One would drive, while the other would "pit crew" and watch gas and tires so the driver could just drive. And maybe give out some reminders of upcoming turns. Of course, that was in our late teens/early 20s, so pit crew would also sample any herbal remedies... Miss these days for sure!

I used to do split-screen races with my uncle in Gran Turismo 3, it was the second game he gave me for PS2 in 2001. We'd always do either Super Speedway or Test Track because he only knew how to turn left, but with boost assist on, it actually made for some fun times and close races.

"by Alex Albon" cracked me up instantly As a South American, Gran Turismo online multiplayer was never really a thing until PSN was a thing. And unfortunately I didn't have many people to share the enthusiasm of racing around me, so I was always a single player guy. Still remains like that, mostly.

2:54 "and that is something we're NOT used to in F1: a Dutchman being overtaken around the outside quite effortlessly... by Alex Albon"

7:10 "I do apologise, I'm commenting on this quite late in the day and so my mental faculties aren't at 100%." You and me Alex, you and me.

the mx-5 touring car is criminally underrated.

Hello Super GT, Viewers here

BenRod deserved that, in fact, i'll go as far as saying that he deserved to have a meet with Barry R to have a talk

Hello Steve! My friend group and I still do LAN parties to this day on Gran Turismo. We play GT4 on PS2s to this day. We have racing rigs, team colors & gear. Since GT4 was the last GT with LAN, we decided to stay on GT4 to keep the tradition going. My friend group and I get together quarterly for race night and we've been doing this for the past 26 years. We've got a structured league/season format & a love for racing. We do play other racing games but nothing can possibly outlast GT4. LAN in GT7 would be life-changing for us all!

I remember a 1v1 against my brother on a one lap race on Laguna Seca, I won overtaking on the main straight to the finish line, pretty close indeed. just don't pay attention to the fact I was driving the formula car and he was driving the GT500 Nismo GT-R...

We had a race series in gt5 and played in teams of 4 drivers. So it was 4v4 when 2 teams played each other and we had F1 style point awarded, one team picked the track, the other picked the car, and the first team who picked the track also chose the PP limit of the car and they had full tuning so we would study the tuning for the week leading up to the race. I remember my team making the grand final at Grand Valley in the MX5 😂 we won the championship and i recorded it with a handycam next to my setup, it's an old video on this channel and it didn't age the best but brings back great memories.

Steves humor explaining people heading off track destroys me 😂😂😂 "and continues turning right despite the track straightening out" lmfao

Gran Turismo 5 multiplayer on the PS3 brings back memories. Good OST too.

The Dutchman in the lead in the first race is called "420blazeit" but in Dutch lol

You're exemplary commentary which is delivered in such a cool and calmly controlled manner never fail to make me smirk. Introducing Ben Rod to everyone's friend 'the grass' lmao. Keep up the great content Steve.

Imagine if polyphony made the effort to have a team of employees dedicated to setting up and balancing 'random' cars around tracks like this, once a week/month.

15:36 I like Chris casually popping headlights.

Benrod is usually super clean, I race with him all the time in daily race A

80kg of ballast moved to the front helps with extreme oversteer.

That last corner is the most important corner of the entire track! So much time to be gained there!

Gran Turismo 4’s online servers were remade a couple years ago and I’ve done quite a lot of racing on it. It definitely has a heavy nostalgic feel to it even though online in particular was not something I experienced ‘back in my day 👴🏼’

What I miss the most from early Gran Turismo online racing is the open car selection and tuning. The races were regulated only by PP and weight and sometimes drivetrain. You could have a tuned up ZO6 Corvette racing with GT3 cars. People could run different compound tires too. I really enjoyed those days because you could make really oddball cars compete and it was funny to see.

The Dutchie's name in the first race roughly translates to "TorchIt420"

Great video ! That s my first time trying the Sport mode in GT7 and definitely a lot of fun (and sometime frustation). I think you forgot to share your car setup in the description. I m really interested to compare with my (potentially crapy) settings. Cheers

Closest me and my mates got to multiplayer was doing the endurance races in shifts lol

Tsukuba is one of my favorite tracks on iRacing for the MX-5 cup. It’s such a fun combo

great little race. thx. Where’s the setup curious to try your setup. be interesting

Enjoyed the video, Alex. Good luck in Suzuka!

Me and my brothers used to play split screen in GT2 with my mom, she loved rally racing with the Impreza Rally Car… she pasted away 3 years ago, good memories.

Just started playing this game, mostly from watching your RU-vid video’s! Just got my first bronze time in a time trial! You’re awesome, greetings from Belgium!

Ooo definitely going to be giving this a go tomorrow in VR. Open cockpit plus 5 speed Mazda Miata = my teens.

Amazing racing in the first race

I had a really fun race of Daily A today too... though I was running a stock set-up so I'll have to have a play around with that! :) Awesome video and racing Steve :)

Thanks Super GT - that set up tweak made it much more drivable.

Oh I remember playing Gran Turismo with 3 of my friends, on a LAN party. It was GT3 or 4, each one of them carrying a TV and the PS2. What a time!

I recently started GT5 for the first time - been racing MX-5s and GT86s around Tsukuba. Definitely Gran Turismo vibes!

“It’s just a race in a game. Life moves on” 😂

"DeFikErin420" ("BlazeItUp420") with the Rizla+ livery lol. That man is not stressed whilst racing.

They need to have more Mazda races (coming from a fan of the MX5 Cup).

split screen multiplayer in gt4 was amazing with a friend. We had an honour system, if someone spun out or fell behind we'd wait, depending on the size of the error. The only acceptable victory was in a close race, nose to tail, with defensive driving and bold overtaking tactics being the name of the game. Nothing can beat the autum ring with 276bhp class Japanese cars.

love the vid again! (the minutes i've seen so far)

Did a shifter kart race around this circuit recently in a lobby. Surprisingly clean race, close and great fun.

This is the cleanest race on this daily I have seen. I am a beginner therefore I am in the lower ranks and there is a lot more carnage. Love ur videos keep it up!

That pass on the outside was beautiful and even more beautiful live 👌

Its like the first 1 hr endurance of human comedy.

We used to play project Gotham racing 2 on Xbox. Online cat and mouse races with 4 teams of 2 around Nürburgring were absolutely epic.

The first win i have seen from Steve.. what a day this is

Gold exhaust tips....veby veby nice

I do love small tracks that don't exceed 100mph and have latimes around a minute

3:25 i think u do a good job of analyzing crashes but also showing what its like when it all goes well :d

Used to play Gran Turismo 2 with my cousins, on the CD 1. They had all cars on one save because of game shark, we used to have great time playing. looks like so long gone now.

Good luck on the race today ❤

I actually had the auxillary network adapter that screwed into the back of a PS2 and played GT4 online. I even got to participate in one of the Nissan driving academy time trials with it.

YEEES!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TSUKUBA!

The chaotic narration of late night Super GT is pure gold

rarely, but sometimes Super GT scratches that itch called revenge and it feels so good

This is my favorite track ever !

Finishing the day with some old good fashion super bloody gt

Perfect Race

tsukuba wasnt featured in gt until gt4 and the mazda roadster touring car appeared first in gt5 as a dlc and 6 for just in game credits... dunno why thats suppose to be "classic gt"

My first memories of playing video games includes GT1 and Crash team racing on the PS1. We use to have these 2 controllers with little wheel nobs on them and a trigger on the bottom for the gas. We lost the memory cards really early on while having the system. So we only ever had the starting cars and tracks. But me being 4 years old didn’t care. I just liked driving fast cars on a race track. 🤣. (I actually don’t remember how old I was but it definitely was before Kindergarten.) With CTR we would leave the console on while we were away so we could come back and continue later.

flashbacks to the Roadster 4-Hour Endurance on gt5

This is only my first gt game, but I do find multilplayer very fun

I love the MX-5 touring car. It’s small and so much fun to drive

Cool to hear about your Dad! Thanks for sharing.

Watched the livestream. Never has a driver been more deserving of a punting than in the second race, ( I haven't watched that far yet, but I'm guessing it's the Scott Chegg race). Played GT4 online once or twice with the gaming group from a newspaper. It was a little laggy back then, whereas GT7 is mostly buttery smooth online now, but it was a good laugh. Good luck at the weekend.

As an F1 fan i agree that thé dutch domination is painfull

Hello, When I Think Of Classic Gran Turismo I Think Of Something Like This, Viewers here. Nice win. That track looks fun, the first sector is like a flat, miniature S1 of Zandvoort.

I was trying to help my 11 year old daughter go to sleep. She was upset about a fight with her mom. She kept tossing and turning, punching her pillow, until I remembered how soothing she finds your narration. She is sound asleep now as I type. Thank you!

Was just doing a lil grinding and did Sardegna WTC800 in my new best of 24:43.788 . B4 any1 ask no I don't keep a log of every race time just this the first time under 25m for this 1 . Got me thinking what are other people's best times for the various offline races are ( aside from the timed races ) .

Congrats on your P1!!!!

Race 2 is definitely quintessential Gran Turismo

Haha that Playstation-themed #16 car at the beginning is my original design! Love it.

This my favorite track and car to race honestly hate the fact the hour long race can only b done once

My dad taught me to race in GT3 for the PS2 when I was like 8 or 9? We once went to a restaurant where they had a kids area with GT set up on their TV, someone said "we're taking turns, but if you win you get to keep playing" needless to say I was there all night ;)

One of my favourite gran turismo multiplayer experiences (although not my absolute favourite) was going over to a friend's house to play gt3, he was using a wheel and he handed me a controller and I wiped the floor with him handily despite his claims of being better because of the wheel He didn't like that, so he gave me the wheel (a crap cheap unit) knowing that I had zero experience with one, and he took the controller, and started a new race It took me 3 laps to go from multiple 10's of seconds down to being right on his tail and in contention for first, I still lost, but the race ended up still being an embarrassing moment for that friend because he had all the advantages and was shit talking the whole way round, right up until he found himself having to desperately defend against me 😂 That wheel was awful, it snapped back to dead centre, had less than 180 degrees of rotation, and was gritty feeling and rattly, and that friend didn't keep it long given how crap it was

Lmao the Fernando pun made me giggle, and I'm spanish

GT5 was the first online multiplayer gt game (GT4 online beta does not count). Presume the multiplayer in the old days were split screen battles between friends and roommates. Gerat video as always

Hey I think you did some real life multiplayer some months ago in a Mazda MX5 at Silverstone as well

2:16 the teeth whistle 😂😂😂

With classic Gran Turismo, I always think about the Miata having 30 different variations in the shop

nice ones

Kinda fun with the golf style commentary 😅

Me and my brother raced split screen. Most fun I've ever had.

They should have more races like this in the daily race A slot for those of us who are less consistent when racing closely with others. I feel so bad racing in DR B and having pace but losing my nerves in close quarters at high speed in Gr. 3 and ruining both my race and someone else’s. This race is a perfect low stakes training ground for racing closely and staying calm.

GET IN THERE LEWIS! MIRACLES DO HAPPEN MATE!

As a point of reference I'd love to know what settings you use for your wheelbase or perhaps you have them posted somewhere. I too run the DD Extreme for example and curious what your actual wheel settings are.

Raced on this one. Started 4th, finished 7th, scored fastest lap. Made me really really happy. Truly fun indeed.

1rst race you slowing caused a brake check for the Dutch driver forcing him to spin

This is a great race, but could those tires have less grip? Good for car control!

My dad, sister and I would play Grand Turismo 3 on PS2 all the time- I remember taking the classic beetle on 2-3 lap races around the nordshleife! We called it “the pig track”

No Nudity No Drugs No Excessive Luxury 100% Super GT

I remember back in school, on the holidays my friend would come to me and bring his PS3 and we would compete against each other. Good times. Don't really remember Multiplayer tho

Viewers don't realize this is peak super gt

Thought I just time traveled back 2 years ❤

I would love to see you play a daily race with the stock dual sense instead of the fanatech. I think it could be quite humourous.

I could go for a 50 lapper around here in the mx5 touring car

It was an honor to be in the same lobby as you in the Americas
