GT5/6 has this and more. Parcells absolute favorite feature of GT is once the race parameters are set (and there's a good deal of great features) which can be done quickly and easily (saved race settings for non-rookies) is anyone in the lobby (including the host) can go onto the track and practise while the host waits for joiners or whatever until he/she decides to start the race.

Having experienced this feature there's nothing worse than going back to FM4 and having to wait in the lobby picking the same things oldmodel does for people to get their act together and ready up while I could be out on the track getting my first practise in.

This response to oldmodel's innocent post is not intended to belittle his opinion, beliefs, religious affilliations or anthing else you can conjure up nor is it an advertisement for the GT series or a damning of the FM series. The more likely scenario is Parcells just smoked some real good Kush. I wish I knew the name of it cause this shit is fucken awesome!

LOL.  I only used FM4 as an example because I can not offer an assessment of the GT5/6 series as I have not played them.  FM4 does allow the saving of race parameters which I use a lot.  And at this stage of FM4's life cycle.  If you don't like my setup.  LEAVE.  There are plenty of rooms open that provide hot laps. 

But looking at the cheapie price of PS3's these days I might just buy one and there still might be more than 10 people on for me to run with.

I've never had that good Kush.  But I get a lot of great Tush at home.

 When trying to run a multiplayer public lobby you have to wait for a 2nd player to enter otherwise you could sit there for literally hours if not forever for a race to start.  

In GT5/6 you can start a race by yourself which begs the question why? Of course the answer is why not or for a practise race as Parcells has done more than a couple times for the awesome series Grimm has going on over at GT PLanet. You dont win any credits racing by yourself but then Parcells had 1.4 billion credits in GT6 before I ever drove a car so grinding was/is never an issue unless you count the almost 5 hours it took me to acquire those 1.4 billion credits.

GT5/6 has both sometimes both at once...nearish 35% of tracks offer either/or
