Or Nerd Night as it might also be known. Went over to Philippe’s last night, joined by Nico and Jon for an evening of Gran Turismo 4 on the Playstation… the worlds greatest car racing simulator.

After a great dinner prepared by Ana we settled down to business. After several futile attempts to get the two playstations connected for multiplayer action we settled for two player split screen on both systems. We then synchronised cars and tracks for pseudo 4 player fun.

I must admit I’d forgotten how good this game is. The realistic differences between all the cars and the entertaining racing it gives regardless what machine you take, once again leaves me contemplating buying a PlayStation for this game alone…

Philippe and I finished the night off with 4 fraught laps of the worlds greatest race track, the Nurbergring.
