The old school looking one?  Yeah that's been there since GT 5 I think, Dude, though maybe under a different manufacturer then.

Only got in a few races last night had to be up at 3:20 this morning. Fuck that is way too early. The races I did get in were fun. Need to go back and watch the big wreck still. Three of us were able to fit under a washcloth we were so close. Soks went wide and Feldynn followed but he hit an invisible wall and it stopped him and he ended up like a bug on my windshield. The replay should be great. New job means I will be missing this starting second week in July. Happy to be employed and glad it was for decent money but will miss racing on weeknights.

I was warned about the invisible wall and yet I managed to hit it anyway.  ^-^
