I wouldn't mind finding a few racers in the 30+year old catagory that are somewhat close to the Pacific Time zone that are average in their racing skill.
If you have a room thats not full of people knocking each other off the track or 5 year olds going the wrong direction, let me know? Not trying to join a league.

Otherwise, I have a couple buddies that are in there late 30's/early 40's that can start hosting a room out of Cali called Geezer's Racing Room I'm figuring a couple nights a week after 8 pm. I guess that depends on any feedback Thanks, Silvertip.:D

We're on EST but it's a mature group, where skill is completely equalized...link below...
 
I usually avoid the lobbies for the same reasons you described. I will keep an eye out for your lobby. You all sound like group i would fit right in with.
 
What type of racing do you typically do Silvertip?

Johny, I just read that "guide to open lobbies". That was spot on. I always search for rooms with SRF off. However, lately, it's mostly: drag racing, drifting, and dirty nascar.
 
I am currently running in S.N.A.I.L. but I am in Cali and most of my driving is after 9:00 pm PST so I would love to find some other Pacific Coast racers. I prefer running untuned streetcars but I am open to most racing. I like to think I am mature (and I am definitely over 30) though my wife may disagree. Feel free to send me a friend request jobyone71. Otherwise I will keep an eye out for you in the open lobbies.
 
i'm also looking to find a group of adults to race with.I am on Pacific time zone.Keep me posted.

What type of racing/driving do you like to do? Also what days and times are best for you?

I race just about anything.last few days have been messing around with cars like the elan,and spitfire on comfort softs.I guess because they car cars i never messed with.Just picked them up and forgot about them.As far as times go,im a disabled veteran so it pretty open.At least until the kid get home from school and wants to play his games.
 
I haven't spotted the "Geezer's Racing Room" yet, but hoping to run across you all at some point, Silvertip. If any of you posting in this thread would like to add me, that's cool. I'm always intersted in layed back, mature friends to race with.

Yea I love some of those low hp cars. The G4 is a blast as is the CRX. I also hopped in the Honda S800 race car on comfort mediums and again was so much fun. Of course I also enjoyed driving the Cerbera Speed 12 on High Speed Ring.

I will send a FR when I get home. Likewise to anyone who would like to add me.

Sounds good. I'm a few hours behind you, but will get on after I get home from work and get settled in.
 
Had great time running with fumanchu11, and spatialdragon. looking forward to meeting up with you too jobyone.
 
Absolutely, alleycat. You and dragon are the kind of mellow dudes i like to race with. Looking forward to doing that again.
 
Sorry I was not around. I sent you guys a FR from my account (jobyone71)

Going to open lounge called "Touch of gray" and if all goes we have Spatialdragon host it this evening.He's much better host that I am.He has a pretty good wired connection,so lag shouldnt be an issue.I have email out to him right now.If he can't host,I guess i can.My connection is also wired and very good.Invite your "adult" friends,maybe we can get something going a few times a week... 👍

Forgive me, as I'm not trying to harass, (and I'm not 30 yet) but I do have a question, one I've had for a while.

I've heard before about rooms/leagues for "average skill", and heard of people being kicked out for being too fast. My question is, how do you determine average speed, and/or how fast is too fast?

Good question. If you do this Time Trial I can find out where you would stack up in S.N.A.I.L. we have five divisions and most people fit into one of them We have several GT academy finalists in the top division but most of us are not that fast.

I'm certain his intent wasn't to dicriminate against "fast drivers", as much as he was talking about people who view themselves as average drivers.

I will have to take your word for people getting kicked for being too fast, as I haven't seen that, but admitedly don't spend as much time as some do online. But that seems stupid if that's the only reason they are being kicked. "Oops, I accidently went too fast, and now those guys hate me! Honestly guys, I was TRYING to go slow... in my race car... on a race track.

And as for the age thing, I can't speak for Silvertip and the buddies he refered to at the top of the thread, but I view it more about a level of maturity. I've met plenty of douchebags over the age of 30, and I know my share of down-to-earth, mature people under the age of 30.

Anyway, just my two cents (or maybe all that adds up to a nickel).

I haven't heard this either,but i haven't been racing online much,or in a club or league.Maybe the league owner is go about saying your to fast for his average driving skills,just in the wrong way. as far as the 30+ im sure he just wanted mature people.feel free to race with us if you would like. my psn is alleycat22469

Your right mature people can be any age but there's far to many kids & willies shall I say who mess up good racing with f1's or super cars when ever one is racing stock or only 500pp cars they are one of my pet hates .

Sure thing Jay.As of right now we haven't been doing too much,just meeting up and driving whatever comes to mind.I have left the lounge unrestricted incase people want to use the aids.I dont have an issue with it.Some cars and tires i will use traction control 1.I'm far from and expert in this game.
I was thinking we may do a little shuffle races.I can use the practice on the comfort and sport tires.But we'll see what everyone else is open to.

All sounds good too me I will find there psn names if they don't add me 1st 

only thing I don't like in race setting is boost it seams to make other players lag and that dose drive me nuts when they skid all over the place and you end up spinning around like a stuck man in a V8 in the rain
