GRID is the only game on the 360 that I can think of, not a bad game too, its a bit arcadey but good for a blast. Its got all 4 classes I seem to remember.

GT4 does on the PS3, and GT5 will do I guess since they were showing it off in the Audi tent!

We played Grid on camp. Very arcadey but good enough for what we wanted it for. Time Trials of La Sarthe. Wouldn't buy it specially though

GRID is ok for what it is - an unrealistic arcade game.

I hate the way the cars react, unpredictable and slidey - bit need for speed for my liking. That, and the R10 has too many gears and can hit 260 along the mulsanne.

On the plus side, it does look good - especially the crashes.


If you want a decent racing game, you cant get beat forza2. If you want a decent racing lap of la sarthe, wait till forza3 in october - which i have all my fingers and toes crossed for it to feature the track

Forza 3 will feature Le Mans. The Xbox team had a launch event for the game over this weekend, doing some PR with Peugeot -mostly for press, within the confines of hospitality area

I fired up the PS2 yesterday afternoon, but as I've only restarted GT4, the only way to run the La Sarthe track was in a pre 1970 car for the 1000 Miles! race, so I fired up the Ginetta G4 and got stuck in biggrin

Great to hear it'll feature in FM3, one more reason not to buy a PS3!

Le Mans is in GT4? Not played it since before I started planning for Le Mans, and just assumed it wasn't there. Know what I'll be doing tonight...! Grrr stupid job.

Yeah I think there is two versions on GT4, old school with no chicanes and one with chicanes. GT5 is the reason to get a PS3! Will make Forza 3 look pants.

True, it will - but then Forza 3 will probably have been out for 2 years by the time they finally release GT5 rolleyes

No, I'm not an XBox fanboy - I'm just at the point of hoping GT5 is compatible with the Sony PS4!

The next version of Forza is very good, but I don't think it's out yet. Wasted invested a good ten minutes of Friday afternoon playing that!

Go to www.forzamotorsport.net

Just announced that Le Mans circuit will be on the next game, launched later this year.

There will be three configurations, 24hrs circuit and Bugatti.... not sure of third. Probably reverse bugatti.

That game will be amazing.

It was Gran Turismo 5 on PS3 not xbox.

You had to beat the drivers times (audi team drivers I assume), which was around 4mins21sec.

Most of the people we saw were doing rubbish 5min+ laps and spinning at every corner.

I would of had a go, but at the time, I was subnurnt, overheating and couldn't be arsed with anything anymore, and there was a big queue.

Fired up the PS2 yesterday though, hooked up the G25 and got GT4 going, went round the Le Mans track in the Audi Le Mans Quattro (basically the R8 prototype) and did a lap of 2mins18sec.
My dad thinks I could have easily beaten the times in the tent, biggrin

I'd guess at 24hrs circuit both with and without chicanes, plus Bugatti.

I got onto the leaderboard with a 4:25, which included 3 spins... Went back later on to best my time on the saturday night but they kicked us out, could have nailed that time frown

Most likely. They had a copy of the forthcoming game in the Audi building and there was an X-box guy wandering round elsewhere, so I suspect they had some sort of sponsorship deal for the whole event.

It was great fun!

The Audi/Shell tent would have been Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, as the actual GT5 isn't finished yet.
