An exclusive first look and review of the Thrustmaster TH8RS Shifter for the PC and the PS3. This stylish shifter is mostly made of metal and has gates that look right out of a supercar. It is an 8 speed shifter that works as a stand alone device and even works with Gran Turismo when used with a T500RS wheel.

On this edition of Top Sim Cars, we put the Classic Renown sponsored Mazda 787B from GT5 and re-visit the Subaru and Audi with damage.

Episode 98 and part 2 of our review of Gran Turismo 5. This is not your average review as it comes after over 69,000 miles of combined driving (including B Spec) and nearly finishing the career mode in order to cover every aspect of the game. In addition to the final review we also give you some tips to help you conquer the game.

On top of that, we bring back Top Simulated Cars of all Time in order to put another car from GT5 on the list. Top Sim Cars is now sponsored by Tamiya. 

Presenting our full review of the Official Gran Turismo 5 racing wheel by Thrustmaster, the T500RS.
