There has been a new bunch of season stuff, 80's Jap, FF, FR and 4WD & Ferrari F1 the last few weeks with a couple of new courses to play with :)

Was gonna have a crack at your time this morning Fizz but 5th YLOD just occured, only repaired the damn thing 2 weeks ago but didn't have any thermal paste for re-assembly so don't think that helped :D

He's alright on street circuits, anything with grass either side of the tarmac he'd be better suited to a lawn mower or offroad vehicle in the corners :D

I daren't load GT5 up anymore, it's responsible for 5/7 YLOD's, my fans go apeshit when I play this.

I don't think I've played this game since about January, I need to get some free time in the evenings to get one again.

Have they done many updates on it?

I risked it last night briefly, There's a bunch of new seasonal stuff again with no expire date and the '69 GT40 in the online garage but i'm lacking the few million of the 19 asking price.
