1x PS3

1x GT5

1x Logitech G25

1x Toshiba 52''

1x PVC pipe cockpit setup to keep all the peripherals locked in their rightful place (ghetto but it works)

= 1x hopeless addiction!

How have you guys been finding the speed and the bandwidth requirements when doing the online thing? Haven't cracked into the online racing yet but my "Aliant country-pseudo-high speed" might not have the horsepower...I take it everyone is on a pretty fast connection? Any experiences I should know about?

Much appreciated...the online tournaments look like a blast...

As long as you have sometype of highspeed internet you should be good.

We normally have races on Thursday's and Sunday's at 8pm, however the PSN has been down since Wed/Thurs.

We've done a few championship series, check them out below:
http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9956 - SuperGT
http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9921 - AWD
http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9845 - Spec M3
http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=9987 - F430 Scuderia

Our current Championship is called the 24 Laps of Le Mans, full details can be found in the thread below:
http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=10000

However as I stated, we're waiting for the PSN to come back online.

If you're in the metro area we're also doing endurance racing at my place, you can see the results from the 24hrs of Le Mans race below:
http://www.armsinc.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=10035

Right now we're practicing and trying to level up to the 24hrs of Nürburgring.
