Looking back this is probably one of my most played games for the last few years. As a casual race dude with a G27 and a crazy homebrew racing setup ( I use a fold-able sun chair as a bucket chair ) it is just perfect. I have no huge interest in cars, and I'm not a racing buff by any means, but just sitting down with the F10 and grinding out 20 laps on Suzuka is extremely satisfying (getting close to that track lap record time!). Bought Spa recently as well and it is also amazing.
Yeah, a lot of things are nicer, but I've got some major gripes about the game. B-spec was really nice to have. The soundtrack, while nice, you can't edit/change any of it. Replays are terrible, and you should be able to opt-out of them. There were a couple of other things, but I can't remember them off the top of my head since it's been a couple of days since I played it.

B-Spec is getting patched in at some point, and it'll be more like GT4 than GT5 (i.e. A- and B-spec are not separated into their own races, and can be changed mid-race). The soundtrack can be changed - go into Gallery and you can change what is in each playlist, or go into Options and use the playlists on your PS3's hard drive. I'll agree that having a mandatory replay after a race is annoying, though.

Yeah I heard about B-spec, and that's fine, but I liked how it was in GT5, especially later on. I'll check out the playlist separating when I get home. Thanks
B-Spec is probably best for endurance races. Give them an overpowered car, shove them in an endurance race, and go do something else safe in the knowledge that you don't have to drive around the Nordschleife for 24 hours. Not that I know if there are any endurance races yet, since I'm still on International B.

is there something I am missing in higher class levels?
I have GT6 and I like it fine but it is definitely GT5.5 in my mind
The car handling is better but still a little fake. Wheel support is much better as memory serves, so that's good.
Enjoying it. Eager to try online play.
