What we do is more considered as realistic cruising in GT. It's not a car show, but much more like usual traffic scenarios. The London city-track - for instance - offers a couple traffic lights and even roadmarkings only very few know of.
Yeah, seldomly. You should be in control of your car at all times though when you're in one of our rooms (which means keeping your lane and not causing accidents).

For me personally it's lots of fun, since we do not restrict ourselves to single brands or categories (JDM, etc.) but allow everything that is not a race/touring/rally car. At times we also have recorded cruises, which will be posted on Youtube and Facebook. For these recorded ones we sometimes have a theme, such as classics, muscle cars, Kei-cars, exotics and so on.

With GT6 coming out, me and a friend will figure out the new tracks to check how suitable they are. Rules would shortly follow after that. Questions would be:
• one-way or two way? (we tried SSR7 with two-way, pretty good in my opinion
• if two way, which side?
• speedlimit(s)?
• traffic lights? which ones should we stop at?
• anything else that's special? (which means areas where you can legally have a u-turn, regarding the road-markings etc.)
• places for parking (whenever you're absent for a few minutes, you don't need to go ghost in our rooms just pull your handbrake)
The parking stuff is neat and never thought about it before. Really good. In that cruise on R246 it really felt awesome when we were at the park area just after the first corner and there was a lot of cars going on both sides, and one car parked. Really felt like real life.

and the crowd is MUCH smaller. Whole families used to come out to watch, put blankets down, bring snacks lol! Hell one time pizza was delivered and then the delivery guy lined up and raced a minivan LOL! I knew a few guys that actually trailered drag cars down.
I remember those days like it was yesterday. The wife and I would go down on Fridays and meet up with everyone at the ice cream place and hangout for a bit before the whole club headed out for a spin. Spend 4-5hrs just bopping around from parking lot to parking lot with the occassional 0-45mph stoplight race in beween. But then the first kid came, we made it one more time because friends wanted to see the baby, and that was it. No more cruising Only digitally onine now
I actually managed to find a video from our old stomping grounds... aparently it's still going, except now they do it during the daytime
This was also about 23 years ago though mind you and the cops constantly came down to break it up, make a few arrests, and direct traffic until everyone left lol. An hour later it was back on. From the look of the pavement I don't get the feeling they do much that anymore.
PS - Watch for the Tahoe about half way in... INSANE!
And another of where we used to cruise Friday nights... still going strong even though they enacted a strict no cruising ordinance about 15 years ago lol
Oh well, good times.
Can't say I ever saw an F40 cruising down there though!
The delivery van part was hilarious!
I've added you on PSN and as I was typing your username in, I remembered that I got kicked out of one of your lobbies a few weeks ago lolSorry for the rather late response - we personally do not have a thread for meetings or planning cruises. I might open one somewhen later, but for now my friendlist is quite filled with cruisers so there is actually no need for that at the moment since there are always a couple friends cruising whenever I go online.
We've got a Facebook-group though.
anyways, I've found the facebook group and added a bunch of people that are on there, hope to see you guys soon on GT6!
Oh alright then. I actually do not just accept "random" friend requests as I do not really know who's adding me. Most of the time I prefer cruising with you before adding you to my list to check if our lobbies are just the right thing for you and to see whether you fit right into our way of cruising.I've added you on PSN and as I was typing your username in, I remembered that I got kicked out of one of your lobbies a few weeks ago lol
Hey there,
as previously stated we're not doing "cop-rooms" or anything similar as such. Not sure if your questions were referred to me though.
Yes, there is one rather well-known here on GTP. https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/whats-cops-and-cruise-club.288344/
Sorry for bumping this up again...

As already mentioned though I do not accept random friend requests, I'd rather like to know who is adding me for what reason so I get a rough idea...
Here are two short cruise videos a friend recorded, so you get a clue how it works for us:
There are more videos on another friends channel - highly appreciated by our small cruise community.
We're not always doing themed cruises though.
