Hello everybody!

I've been looking to join a club or league lately, do you fellows accept racers outside of Britain?
I am located in Estonia, Northeastern Europe, +2hrs time zone, B-C/S level, playing on controller, but i dont have a whole lot of playing time as my time is already mostly split between family and work.

If everything checks out with youse, i will add the two admins and try to find youse on Discord.

Thank you either way,
Tanel

Hi Tanel,
We have a few drivers from all over the world so that's not a problem.
All we ask for is that you race clean and be gentlemanly.
There will be a two week bedding in period before you can join official races.
Add me to your friends list and give us a try.
 
Afternoon all. I’m an A/S driver (only just made A) looking for a league for old unfit drivers 😄. I’ve never done league racing before so just looking for some casual racing initially. I’ve joined the GBRP discord server and SLP. What’s next?

Hi Integer,
Just accepted your PSN friends request.
Next time your online i will introduce you to the club. Do you have a headset?
 
Good evening!

Thought I’d introduce myself. Recently purchased a PS5 and GT7. Total newbie but loving it so far. Looking to get involved with some casual racing with like minded people.

I’ve added Cokebloke and Lunchbox but not entirely sure how to join the discord.

Looking forward to getting started!

Quick Reference Guide to GBRC GT7 Casual Racing Rules

At GBRC we pride ourselves in clean racing with minimal contact.
We have an active team of Race Admin members who take part in all races & study the race replays.
We aim for realistic racing and would ask drivers to drive as if it was their car.

Below is a brief version of our Online Racing Rules ;

The Track ;
The game will issue penalties for track limits.
If a driver breaks the track limits and gains an advantage you should give up that advantage.

Qualifying ;
Just like in real life racing, do not obstruct other drivers who are on a fast qualifying lap.
Please move off the racing line or off track.
Do not park on track while qualifying is still in progress.
If you catch up to a driver then it’s your responsibility to back off.
Do not hinder the car in front.

The Race ;
Avoid contact with other cars.
If you make contact with another car & either make them lose control / leave the track / spin, you must wait for the car to rejoin and allow him past.
If another car is ahead & on the racing line when braking into a corner, you must back out of any manoeuvre to avoid contact or spinning the other car around.
Continual contact / rubbing the car in front is not acceptable
Weaving to avoid slip streaming / towing the car behind is not acceptable – you can move once.
If you leave the track, care must be taken to safely re-join without hindering other drivers.
Be prepared to leave racing room for cars that are alongside or 'overlapping' you
The race is not won in the first corner – be patient on the first few corners.
You must make every effort to avoid collisions, this would include going off track.

Two words to think about - Patience and Awareness.

Be gentlemanly,polite and respectful.
Respect the stewards and Admin.

Persistent, careless, abusive driving could result in a Permanent ban from GBRC.

GBRC shout out from Tidgney


GBRC Racing

Hi guys, I'm a casual driver with low score due to a massive amount of "rage quits". I'd really like to become member of a "clean race focused group". I've started just 2 month ago with daily events, but the level of sportsmanship and respect is very poor. For me it would be gold to have 1 o 2 days a week of just clean races. So I'll be glad if you could accept my friend request (I'll send it by tonyt). Best.

There is one last thing you need to do..
To enable the Discord voice chat on the PS5 you need to join our discord server, the link is in my signature and make sure both the PS5 and Discord App are linked.
 
Hello... I am looking for a group to race with. You seem to have ticked all the boxes for me: realism, maturity (I'm an old guy), fairness, fun... are you still accepting new members?
