Hi viper Al, new member. Live in San Diego, interested in joining in the GT7 races. What's the deal?
 
REPOST:
I was talking to Jerry Schulte (yes, I know he died a few years ago) the other night after the last few weeks of somewhat contentious racing. He told me it's time for a Geezer Club reset. Jerry created this club 10 years ago to fill a need of older and or more laid-back pilots. He realized that some of the official GT racers don't have the abilities of younger drivers. Or, they were not interested in the daily races where running someone off the track, because you can, is an acceptable way to have fun. We're less serious about winning, and put having fun higher than that goal. Below are some guidelines for becoming a Geezer Club member, or a wannabe Geezer Club participant.

Geezer is someone who is 60 years old or will be 60 years old this year.

Drop the win at all cost attitude and have fun. That's why we use boost strong to help a driver recover from racing incidents. Overly aggressive driving isn't allowed.

If you must talk during a race, keep it on topic, and try not to talk just to hear yourself make noise. Joking around for a laugh is highly recommended. Be respectful of others' opinions even if they are wrong, don't argue, there's nothing more disrupting than listening to two people argue when most don't want to hear it.

After a race is finished, take a moment of silence to let the owner of the room have some time to talk with the person selecting the next race so he can start the set up for the track.

1 - If someone wants to participate in a Geezer lobby, they have to first respond to this message on the geezer thread and be accepted by the committee on a trial basis. We don't care how fast or slow you are, it's how you race that counts.

2 - Geezer Lobbies are for Geezers and invited Friends only. Friends of friends will not be automatically accepted. If you join without asking, you will need to leave, and follow rule 1 for the next event.

3 - If you are not 60 years old but would like to join us, you can be accepted on temporary bases (geezling). If you race too aggressively and the win is more important than having fun, you will likely be asked not to return.

4 - It's usual that the host posts the first 4 races. When those are complete, a participant is asked to choose a car and track till the end of the session. This way most everyone has the opportunity to choose a race they like.

5: We like to do quick races (5 to 10) laps to keep the lobby running (we are old and the time is critical) so PP races or any other race that involves testing and a long time to prepare the car can only be chosen by the lobby host that is running the race. These races will be posted in advance so we have time to prepare the cars. If you have any ideas, submit them to the host in advance and he will consider using them.

6 - If you want to host a Geezer race event, it is necessary for the host to also follow the rules as outlined.

Hey Geezers - I posted on Saturday about joining in to see if this lobby is something that I could get involved in. I received a response from corryclifford, which I am assuming was an invite (?). Seeing as this is the first time that I have joined a specific lobby, and I don't have any 3-year-old grandkids to show me how it works, just how does it work on GT7? I look for a lobby in Multiplayer called Geezers and jump in to see if I can race? Probably won't make the weekend races because I'm on the west coast and this old geezer does not want to get up at 5:00 am to be ready to race at 5:30 Pacific. Plus, if I wake the missus up at that time, she'll probably take the Gran Turismo disc out of my PS5 and hide it, so I won't be able to race anyway.

First of all, what is your PSN ID? Second, you should send a PS friend request to the host for the lobby you want to join. For example, for Wednesday night, you’ll want to add viper9-al_ to your friends list. Then you go into the multiplayer lobby list at the time listed, check the box for “only show lobbies with friends”, select the room, and you’re off to the races.

You’ll want a headset, and then to be added to the Geezer group for the PS chat. Verbal communication is extremely helpful to guide those new to the experience. The post above from Pete (pmallard) has other info for new Geezers. Hope this helps.

Race #3, is it 1k HP exactly? And does PP not matter? Sounds fun as hell too
 
Hi Guys. I just wanted to post up my wheel settings for the G Pro in case they are useful for anyone :).

I am using all 5 profiles on the wheel and just switch before each race. Only takes a couple of seconds.

GT7 in game settings..
Controller Steering Sensitivity - 0 It definitely changes the way the car feels to me.
FF Max Torque - 6
FF Sensitivity - 3
Vibration Strength ( True Force ) 150

Profile 1 - GT4/Sports Med/Racing Hard
Strength 8.8
True Force 100
Filter 1
Damper 6

Profile 2 - Racing Medium
Strength 8
True Force 75
Filter 2
Damper 12

Profile 3 - Racing Soft
Strength 10.5
True Force 70
Filter 10
Damper 85

Profile 4 - Sports Soft/Sports Hard
Strength 9
True Force 85
Filter 7
Damper 15

Profile 5 - Comfort Soft
Strength 11
True Force 100
Filter 1
Damper 50

GT7 sets everything at the start of the game. First thing I do when it loads up is go into the G Pro settings and adjust the wheel strength one click up and then back. I do the same with True Force. This will over ride GT7 and allow the use of the different profiles for each car/tire type.

See you guys Wednesday night.
