hi,

I’m new here, just bought the game the other day. Don’t really want to go online because I feel like I’m just going to screw someone’s game up. I’m not very good, I play with a controller, and because of some dexterity issues I won’t be progressing in that department anytime soon. I really was just looking for some kind of league that wasn’t real upset about someone who sometimes makes mistakes. A group of folks who are more concerned with fun than competition. Maybe there isn’t a league like that here, either way, thank you in advance for any help you can give in that area.

Edit... thanks for moving this

Hey man don't worry about your skill level too much. There's always a place for you and there's always improvement. Get ready for some light reading :)


IRS is a league that I'm a series organizer for, but @aceboy127 set it up and added leaders as he went along. We have a nice group now coming up with great racing series ideas and we put them out for a season at a time. Currently we run a series with the 86 GRMN and Gr. 4 cars, while also a "Trans Am" style series with multiple classes. They run Mondays and Saturdays respectively. IRS uses the concepts of real world racing to recreate or replicate them in a GTSport environment. At the moment we are finalizing an IMSA series using their line up of GT cars but with Gr. 3 and Gr. 4 on track together. Come check us out at the main hub thread for some general info, and the links to the series that are currently running are in my signature below. We'd love to have you!

SNAIL started as a dedicated one-make spec series but has grown to host other series throughout the week with other formats. Sunday night is their spec night, with Tuesdays being an Endurance League and Thursdays their mock rehearsal practice night that follows the same format as Sunday. They are also starting a Super Formula series on Wednesdays.

ARL is a new league that likes to use tire and fuel wear settings similar to the FIA races which gets a nice cross pollination with those drivers looking for FIA style practice. Saturday nights they run Gr. 3 with all the cars available, with two allotments per car to create variety. On Wednesdays they have a Gr. 4 series that is one-make and each season the car changes.

Everything I have mentioned so far runs in the evenings, generally from 8pm EST to about 1am. ARL starts a little later because their leaders are in Central Time, one hour before EST. @TexasJDC has links to his series in his signature as well. For SNAIL, you can type in snailracing.org and it will redirect you to the their main thread which discusses everything but is also the focus for the Sunday night races. They have a dedicated sub-forum now due to the high volume of activity there. Between everything listed I'm sure you'll find something you like and we hope to see you on track soon!

SNAIL would be good for you to start since they have lower divisions which would probably match your skill level. I'd also suggest joining the Toyota 86 Racing Series on Monday nights. It's a great place to build confidence and experience driving in a pack of cars. We have some controller users as well so you'll fit right in!

Interesting leagues I've seen. But given my tricky timezone arrangements, it might be near impossible to join majority of them. Unless I'm lucky enough to score one.
 
@Rinsky holds a monthly endurance race on the first Saturday of the month. We race the Gr.4 cars and each member has a different car. This league is clean and friendly and have a good variety of driver levels in this race. If you are interested in joining, I would contact Rinsky and see if there is room.

I’ll have to double check, but I believe the lobby would open around 2 PM your time. As for entering, there should be a little document in the thread of what car you’d want to use. Alternatively, you could just say which car you’d want to run in the thread. Just be sure to give your PSN so we know who you are.

Here is a league that is great for beginners, using GR4 cars. racing is on Wednesday nights, starting at 10pm Eastern. Season 4 kicks off this Wednesday, 5/22/19. Check us out. We have FULL lobbies every week, unlike some other series where only 4 or 5 drivers show up weekly, if their lucky.
