In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
That was a long time ago, I've only just started playing it again.
Can't wait for my stand to come so I can take the wheel into the living and get stuck into this.
Severely tempted to move the ps3 into games room for a couple of weeks.
Is there a demo on playstation network?

You should get what I've got
Serious business this racing lark.

Nice, unfortunately I have just got rid of my cockpit due to an upcoming arrivalYou should get what I've got

So stand only for my although with my setup in the games room it will work just as well.
I don't think that there is. Every demo apart from Prologue (which feels nothing like GT5 proper) has been timed in that it expired after a while.
Do so believe that some stores here are still selling copies of Prologue for €30 
Do you want it back? Or shall I give it to someone that doesn't already have one?
I don't need it, send it along to the needy.
There seems to be a lot of renewed interest in this game again now, we should take advantage of that and get some races goes online between us all.
Ive got prologue but never got GT5 because I think it deserves a wheel and I didn't have one until now.Do so believe that some stores here are still selling copies of Prologue for €30
GT2 is still one of my all time favourites and with spec 2 update i think it might be a good time to get GT5.
Will be a few weeks until i get the stand though.
As long as it's not with the X1. I have to use the dpad rather than the sticks to control it, bizarre but true. With the sticks it's like constantly flicking a bean with your thumb.
I'd be up for that.
You should be able to find it on the cheap now, I think it's already in that Platinum Edition mode.
Just googled that £14.95. I'm in.
I have no problem running my PS3 as a server, I'll even let it run 24hrs if I can so people can dip in and out.
Good thing about with the NEW DLC is that only a friend has to own Spa to use it online. Say for example Weaste buys it and I don't, he can run as a server and we can all drive on it. However you can't use it in GT mode or Arcade mode.
I'm up for an F1 or if people really want, a prototype race at Spa in the future.

Just took a spin around Spa on some japanese blokes host, pretty bloody good. I won't be able to buy the pack until later in the week but its pretty bloody close to iracing's lazer scanned version. You can certainly feel the car crest after Eau Rouge so they got that down nicely.
DLC is up in Europe and apparently it's account locked.
I'll buy it later on today. Should I put the PS3 up as a private online server with Spa and either the F2007 or F2010? Any of you on my friends list can then just jump in and out whenever you want.
I'll try and pick this up in the next few days.
Would it be ok to add you Weaste? Wouldn't mind a spin on your server.
My GT is andyundercover

I'll add you.
Great, F2010 would be cool. I feel like using something a bit more up to date this time and I have hardly ran the F2010.
Account locked? I assume that means my mate and I can't do the usual trick of dividing the cost?
That's exactly what it means.
Be a better game on the Xbox this
All 6 discs of it.
boooo!
It also means that other accounts on your PS3 can't use it either.
Weird bug with me with Spec II, it freezes on boot if I'm already online. If I'm offline, ignore its prompts to logon, get to the game and then log-on it's fine. Tried several times and it always does the same thing, but only if I'm signed into PSN.
Normally freezes when you see the Earth on the startup movie, but then still lets you press X to skip it. Then it either gets stuck on a black screen or with the GT logo. Go to XMB to quit and the whole console freezes and needs to be physically turned off from the power.
If not online however it all works smoothly.

I like to call this one my McLaren MP4-12Chrome.
Cheers for the car leg-end
That chrome looks awesome, I've not got it in my paint pack though - did you win it or something?

Be careful with the paint pack, apparently you can only use each colour ONCE!
Holy crapballs, Spa is amazing!!
I forget how I got it now, must have traded for it.
It's one thing that you have to give to Polyphony Digital, their lighting and shading, along with their modelling of the cars, is just top drawer, nothing else comes close.
Agreed, the lighting is fantastic.
Those comparison shots you posted in the Forza thread of the Zonda show it well, the Forza lighting is bizarre, on an all carbon fibre car it looks like it's wet metallic paint.
