Welcome to all the newcomers this past month...

It's so refreshing reading about all of you fresh new young blood. (Plenty for the sacrifices to the moderators.)

Despite the harshness of the moderation around here at times, but please don't be intimidated, because it is thanks to the heavy hand whipping, that is what makes this Forum the very best in the world.

I can't seem to keep myself away from GTPlanet, because of my addiction for GT games by Kaz and PD. There are what I consider currently to be the ultimate form of car gaming as I had imagined and hoped for while growing up.

I know there are much better ones out there, whole variety, but Kaz offer to me the best sandbox IMHO.

There are a wealth of knowledge around here, for just about anything and everything , not just about GT, thanks to all the members from around the world, so enjoy your stay and we old members are looking forward to your contributions to this community.

Hello Everyone,

I am Michael, from the United States. I found GT Planet by simply looking around for GT7 discussion. I have played racing games the majority of my life. Namely NFSU2 and Burnout when I was younger. Motorsports is a newer interest of mine. I have been playing GT7 since January 2026 and following F1 since mid summer last year. My setup is a g29 and G Pro Pedals on a folding rig. Besides GT7 I play FIFA and 2k. I look forward to chatting about the daily races and qualifying.

Welcome to the site mate, enjoy!! You ready for 2027?
 
  • Hi my name is Washington, I have 39 years old, I’m from Brasil, I play games since I was a kid, love racing games, started at top gear at Snes. I find this website as a recommendation of Google AI when I ask how can i send some suggestion to polyphony about GT7. I don’t have a steering wheel because it so expensive in Brazil, and I don’t have enough to buy one, to buy a PS5 I need save money about 2 years. It’s really expensive in Brazil. I love all kind of games, but most sports and rpg. Like I said, I’m searching a way to send some suggestion about the game, because I love this game, I had more than 700 hours played at GT7.

Hi everyone, I'm Justin aka Fenix on PSN, I've just return to the GT7 after a long break as I went back to playing County Pool after the Covid Era, but this time I'm on a PS5 .

I'm hoping to become a GT7 content creator and I've already setup a YouTubeChannel and a couple of Social Platforms under @fenixsimracinguk banner.

Considering the long break I've had I'm currently getting back up to speed on GT7, I'm not the quickest on the game and only a mid pack and mid grid racer.

As I'm completely new to content creation, I'm always looking for advice and tips on how to improve my content as I grow my YouTube Channel and Socials Platforms.

My content will focus on close, hard racing in the midpack. As I said I'm not the quickest yet, but I will always bring exciting action, mainly in Gr.3 and Gr.4 as I work on improving my racecraft, finding more pace to get faster, and climbing up the grid.

I'm a huge tin top fan following the BTCC, TCR UK, and TCR Europe. I'm also a massive Arsenal FC fan and love nothing more than chilling out by listening to Country Music even when I'm racing.

How did you find GTPlanet?

I was searching for a new Sim Racing Team on Google and GTPlanet was at the top of the search

Where are you from?

Tunbridge Wells, Kent

When did you start playing racing games?

I started playing Gran Turismo on the PS3 with my late mate where we used to do the Endurance Races as a team, I then graduated to Gran Turismo Sport on the PS4 where I started to take it a lot more serious through Covid.

Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use?

I'm currently using a Logitech G29 with a Playseat Challenger Seat which was a Facebook Marketplace bargain, I will be upgrading to a GT Omega ART or Prime Lite R cockpit paired with the new Moza R5S Pro Bundle when it’s released

What other games do you enjoy?

Mainly play GT7 as I'm looking at getting into content creation with GT7

What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?

I'm looking forward to contributing to the chats on the forum and looking for advice on how to improve my racecraft, laptimes, as well as sharing my content which I'll be uploading to my YouTube Channel and my Social Platforms

Thanks for having me

Welcome to GTPlanet mate, glad you finally discovered this site. I started playing Gran Turismo 3 at age 10.
 
Hello everyone, and apologies if my English is a bit limited.
My name is Guillaume; I’m 55 years old and from France.
Why did I sign up here?
Well, to be honest, I really should have done it a long time ago.
I’ve been a dedicated fan of the original Assetto Corsa for several years now—I play almost exclusively offline (in "quick drive" or championship modes).
There is so much to discover—mods, cars, tracks—and, above all, the creators themselves, who, in my view, are absolute geniuses.
I’d rather pay for mods than invest in a different game; the community is just that vibrant.
So, in a nutshell, that’s why I finally decided to sign up.

  • What other games do you enjoy?
Last 15 yrs have been mainly Call of duty and NBA2K... honestly done with those communities and 100% on GT7 now.
  • What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?
Get better, consistency, tuning, etc.
 
Started playing GT5P & GT5 in 2011 and then on to GT6. When I started playing GT5 I crashed into everything, understeered, over corrected, etc., it wasn't much fun. Despite driving a real car for several decades I needed help with the game. I finally found GTPlanet and member posts helped me figure out how to race in GT5 and tune my cars.

I then switched to Forza after many years playing GT6 waiting for 'GT7'. Over the years I've played Forza Motorsport 6 & 7 and Horizon 3, 4, 2, 1 and then 5 and enjoyed each. Still regularly play FH5.

I've stuck with Forza and don't play anything else, though FH6 is making me think its time to make a change. Most of the time playing Forza I used the Forza Forums community but when XBox shut their community interface down earlier this year I checked out GTP once again and was glad to find a community of Forza players.

I currently have an XBox Series X. I've always used a Logitech wheel on my consoles because I just not effective with a controller. I've traveled to many places for work but now Florida is home.
 
Hi everyone,

Just call me Salty and im From Canada, Quebec

Forza glazer turned to diehard for Gran turismo dont really know what changed but its probably due to the poor handling on microsofts part.

Either way i learnt of this place through the modding community for previous GT titles and decided today to make my account.

Thats pretty much it, thank you.
