If you have time it`d be great if you could fill in your answers to this survey. Just press "reply quoting message", and place your answers in the spaces. You must have a PS2 and GT3 to be able to complete all questions.

It`d be great if this could be taken seriously, with no silly answers from any of the recent Nintendo visitors.

Here goes:

1) What are your favourite 6 PS2 games released so far (Including the ones you don`t have)? I`ll count up scores for this, using the same system as GT3 and Formula 1, i.e. 10, 6, 4 ...

2) What are your favourite 6 PS2 games yet to be released? This will use the same system as before.

3) What is your favourite car on GT3, held in your garage?

4) What is your favourite car in GT3, out of all of them?

5) What is your favourite track on GT3?

6) What is your least favourite track on GT3?

7) Are you now satisfied that the PS2 is producing very high quality games?

8) Do you expect the online capabilities of PS2 to be a success?

9) Will you yourself use the online features to play games?

10) Would you enjoy PS2 games such as GT3 online, or do you prefer RPGs and FPSs?

11) Do you prefer Pringles or Watsits?

Thanks for your time. (If you`ve got this far :-) )

Before anyone else points my obvious mistake out, i'll do it myself.

Silly me thought Q 5 was track as in music track, not race track (ahem).
Anyway, my revised answer is Luguna Seca.
Q 6 - TEST COURSE - Zzzzzz

Which model do you have? There are two MX-5's in the game that you can buy - the '89 model and the '93 model. The '89 model will only go up to 118bhp, but the '93 model will go to 128bhp.

Which mode are you playing in? In Arcade Mode, the game always chooses comparable cars, so you should be able to win with some practice.

If you're in GT Mode, you may just need a more powerful car. Get it has highly tuned as you can (if you haven't already), and make sure you get a good start. To start, hold the revs at around 3000 until the lights go green; let the car build up some speed, then accelerate harder - that should eliminate a lot of wheelspin and keep you pretty much with the pack. Then try and get in behind the lead car and sit there until the last lap, as I described earlier.

Also, if you're in GT Mode, try changing your gear ratios so that you have a higher top speed; short gearing (quick changes) is okay for tracks with a lot of corners, but for the Test Course, you need to use longer gearing, and sacrifice some acceleration for a higher top speed.

The first time I tried this course I got beaten into 2nd by .103 seconds.....doh! Soon realised what I needed to do about the slipstreaming and got it sussed but now for the question!

I've got an MX5 which only has a top speed of 205kph, now I spent £20k trying to up the power/speed but to no effect. The test course is the only course i need to win to get a new car and I'm really stuck....any ideas....

Try drafting - or slipstreaming... drive behind the cars, swapping to stay behind the leading car - you'll know you're in the slipstream because the sound will change - it's 'quieter' and you'll get more speed out of your own car.

On the last lap, drop a little way back (but stay in the slipstream), then as you come off the last corner, floor it. As long as you're in the slipstream, you should catch up - then pull out at the last minute and catapult past to win the race.

It's all about timing, but it works a treat - I used it to win, passing a Celica right on the finish-line in my slightly less powerful Skyline.
