    If Anyone is feeling nostalgic like me after watching the Gran Turismo Movie, but you don't have a PS2 anymore and don't want to screw with a emulator, here is some formulations for the classic GT3 Endurance races within AMS 2. I couldn't do Rome or Tokyo as we don't have an appropriate stand in for those tracks. However, given the sandbox that is AMS 2 I might add-on a couple original "GT Inspired" events just for fun later.
