SRT Gran Turismo 5 Review – Video

Darin & Shaun & Jessica InsideSimRacing.tv have released the first part of their extensive Gran Turismo 5 video review, including almost an hour of footage on the popular console racer.

The review pays a close look at the game’s modes & features and especially hardware compatibility with various wheels. Furthermore, the guys also take two cars from GT5 and add them to their list of top sim cars.

For even more on Gran Turismo 5, make sure to check out the VirtualR review as well.

    good review

    very in depth.

  • mak mak

    Nice review and even nicer woman!

  • Nestor Martin

    Though never to see this here again!

  • Carbonfibre

    No offence to the guys at SRT, but I better trust a well composed VirtualR review than a questionable discussion following plenty of plugs by various products.

  • UnnamedDriver

    Go start youre own blog site, and you can pick and chose who you have on it.
    Well done Montoya, for having this back on YOURE blog site.

  • Gabkicks

    the full blown rally cars and race cars have more visible damage, iirc.

  • mike88

    wtf
    this review touched on everything that is right and wrong with GT5. they spent tons of time talking about the negatives if it makes you feel any better.

  • adrian

    your

  • SuperChocolateBunnyMan

    That’s why she’s there. To make us wish we were in her pants :P

  • Independent Nigerian car maker

    @Nestor they are both sponsored by iracing, so there you go, iRacing makes peace in sim racing community LOLZ

  • UnnamedDriver

    Youre mom

  • qawaza

    I alwasy have fantasy about those pants..

  • Maaz

    I thought SRT was sponsored by Rfactor Central, home of the annoying catch phrase.  no more?

  • Pau

    Has Jessica got the most annoying voice ever??  Lucky she’s got a decent rack

  • wakkawakka

    5 minutes in: Apparently it was cold in there

  • Yoshimura.GP.EVO.1

    She does look very nice! :)

  • Papichulo

    Surprised about to see an SRT review on VirtualR after his controversial words.
    Personally, I don’t like to see his videos, specially on my preferred SimRacing Blog.

  • wakkawakka

    What words were those?

  • Firefox

    Then go and start your own blog if you don’t like it.
    I think it is great that (if it’s the case which I hope) they’ve come to terms again because the simracing community was already very shattered since the departure of RSC (and by that I mean the old RSC).
    Hopefully this is a step to once again unite the simracing community and stop the unnecessary arguments between people.

  • Substance242

    Something magical happened to me with GT5 yesterday – I won a car which I actually could use in career! (truck for IA licence)

  • Papichulo

    I don’t need to start my own blog, cause I like VirtualR.
    I don’t like some people of SRT come here with his arrogant attitude.

    I’m not telling what must appear or not on VirtualR. Only saying what I don’t like. That’s all.

  • Justin ForzaBarça D’Cruze

    Cant we just build a bridge and get over it?
    I havent been following SRT since Darin’s brain explosion “incident” but the facts are he has apologised and SRT are no longer affiliated with SRW. So yes mistakes were made, things were said, but at the end of the day common sense prevailed.
    The majority of this community are male….so lets act like it instead of bickering like highschool girls. Just a thought.

  • Mike45

    After Darins misbehavour here, I stopped watching SRT.
    Why can’t we keep this arrogant person away from this great place? He insulted people and showed his real face.

  • Mike45

    I have a copy of Darin’s rant.

  • Big Ron

    Everyody has it´s own opinion. Why can´t we keep some users away from here? Don´t know what Darin said. But I am annoyed by some people here and they are annoyed by me and we are still here ;)

  • moving-target

    You are not able to pick the users… but you are able to decide about the content of a website.

    What Darin said (just a little selection):
    “I’d like to see any of you Virtual R “community” dwellers come out and tell me why any one of your opnions is significant. WHO ARE YOU ??”

  • Nestor Martin

    No offense, it’s all good to me. Just reminded me of an old discussion we had here and some….
    But never-mind, never say never.
    I have never seen a SRT episode since, but it’s probably due to a slow internet connection or lack of time. I won’t watch this one either because I have no ps3 and no GT5.
    Glad to see all is well.

  • Big Ron

    I don’t know whether Pau here wrote intentionally offensive using my guest name, so to derogate. I would not have said that, and to prove how easy it is to write under someone’s individual aspect I’ll be using Big Ron’s nickname. I’m not fond of this new comment system Montoya, haven’t been since the day you started using it, leaves a door open for abuse and misconduct.

  • Guest

    I will consider posting as Guest from now on, maybe it would be a good solution to implement so that a visitor/unregistered can post only under the name Guest.

  • Independent Nigerian car maker

    I thought SRT was sponsored by Rfactor Central, home of the annoying catch phrase.  no more?

    @Maaz; These 6 words made my day!
    How can I email you some of my nigerian moneys, to show my gratitude  :*

  • SRT Superfan

    I always watch the first minute or two just to see how Jessica is looking this week.

    Darin is just lol.

  • Nestor Martin

    Hey I’ve just checked, NO MORE HOME OF THE ONE CLICK IT’S AS EASY TO DO IT MANUALLY!!! =-O
    The world has become a better place!!! 8-)
    We can all dream about Jessica, race against Darin and pat the head of the other one or the opposite.
    I’ll be watching the show before going to bed then, not for GT5 of course.
    sweet dreams to all.

  • smokeyplayer

    HAHAHA so GT5 has better physics and ffb than historX?, so full of crap.

  • smokeyplayer

    They are just dishonest period, whats simraceway got to do with it?.  The dollar signs got to Montoya, he sold out lol.

  • Genuis

    These guys seriously are a joke.

    First Forza: omg! it’s so good! so realistic!

      then…
         oh. We were overzealous and forza not really so realistic…

    Now GT5: omg! it’s so good! so realistic! 

    Please… They say whatever the big boys want (or they leave out, *cough* F1 2010 *cough*)
    just to get free shit, access, and maybe a little more pocket change.

  • ozpata

    they have sold themselves long time ago to the companies they review, they shouldn’t be allowed here , our opinions are just as valid , non biased and more realistic .
    he should learn to behave like a grown up, stop moving his hands and act like a teenager and respect the community.

  • Gabkicks

    link? i missed this rant

  • Stella Artois

    QUOTE: smokeyplayer – The dollar signs got to Montoya, he sold out lol,.. you say?  
    There’s a global recession going on, austerity will be hitting everyone, im sure he as a family to look after, bills to pay, and on top of that, this blog site to pay for, servers space are not free, ads pay this site?……and the rest.  
     
    So accepting dollars to help keep this site up, isnt a crime, and YOU gain by having somewhere to troll on, like the rest of you ungrateful shytes.

  • Mitch

    My ironic-o meter is going off the charts!

  • moving-target

    Darin behaves like some kind of spokesman of the simrace community. He came here to tell everybody that he is BIGGER (not much more substance in his rant). I don’t think that he represents simracing properly.

    What Darin said (just a little selection): 

    ” “Montoya” .. Who are you and why is your opinion significant ? Are you Greger Huttu, David Greco, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Dave Kaemmer, Thomas Jackermeier, or even someone who has really sim raced.”

  • moving-target
  • smokeyplayer

    Stella, he gets donations he has ad banners, it doesnt cost that much to run a web site, seriously that is hilarious you dont care if he sells out, no reguard for the sim community. 

    He said himself he wouldnt sellout the Hypocrite, I liked how this site was unbiased, buts its going swiftly to the dogs. 

    People are shytes for having opinions, meh its fine I’ll go elsewhere from now on.

  • smokeyplayer

    Thanks, what a silly NUT CASE, His elevator doesnt quite make it all the way to the top floor does it?, too much fluoride maybe?, why would Montoya even want to associate himself with him?.

  • Montoya

    How exactly am I “selling out” by posting their videos?

    SRT is not affiliated with SRW anymore, that was my main issue with them. Darin & I have got past the issues from back then, the community is too small for us to stay devided over old conflicts.

    Nobody forces you to watch their videos, you can easily ignore all SRT postings.

    And regarding the “Dollar Signs”: Running a website like this costs money..the servers cost money, the comment system you´ve just used costs money etc…. not to mention the countless hours that go into running this place each and every month.

    I don’t do sponsored posts or anything like this, all I use to make money are the advertising banners that are clearly identifiable as such.. advertisments are never hidden in content. Would I like VirtualR to be ad-free? Of course… is that a realistic option? No.

    Oh, and as far as donations go: Since the beginning of July (almost six months ago) nine people have donated… I really hate to destroy your illusion that I somehow make a killing running this site…

  • melanieuk

    Regardless of what he said, virtualr viewers, views are worth something, why would ISI, Simbin & Slightly Mad reply to comments here, if they where  worthless, just my 10 pennies worth ;)

  • melanieuk

    Oh and give Rob a break, he’s providing a good service
