Hi All, I came across this site while researching GT, I'm a casual gamer but love racing though I don't get much time, but when I do I connect the steering wheel rig and get on to Gran Turismo 7 1st, then AC Evo (PC) and finally Forza Horizon 4 (PC) for fun from the racing side of things. Glad to be part of this forum.

Welcome mate!
 
Hey good night. I found this site by searching for mod files for gt 6 on ps3. Never know I would find anything even though I don't find the link for the download yet. I love cars games and football games, they relax me after a busy day at work. The safest place for me to drive at high speed is on the game.
 
Hello everyone,
I'm from Indonesia. I'm here to look for information about this game. I've always been a huge fan of racing games, ever since I was young. Currently, the only games I'm playing are GT 1 through GT 4, due to my limited hardware. I'm hoping that in the future, once I have a console that's capable of running GT 7, this place can be the source of information I need.
 
What's good, GT family! 🏁

Just rolled up here because GT2 and GT4 have been calling my name - time to dive back into those legendary memories that made us all fall in love with cars! Seeing hundreds of thousands of passionate racers in this community is absolutely INSANE, and I'm hyped to be part of this legacy.

Repping Puerto Rico and bringing that island racing spirit! 🇵🇷

These games didn't just teach us how to drive - they made us dreamers, collectors, and speed demons. Ready to share some stories, chase some lap times, and get lost in car culture with all of you beautiful people.

Let's get this engine started! 💨
 
Good morning, afternoon, evening, what have you. I'm driftnut753.
  • How did you find GTPlanet? I found GTPlanet nearly a decade ago looking for tips and tricks for GT6 seasonal events (man I wish they'd come back in GT7, might breath some life into the game)
  • Where are you from? Townsville, Queensland originally but reside in Adelaide, South Australia.
  • When did you start playing racing games? At the age of 3 (just turned 30). Started with GT2 and RRT4 on the PS1 and never looked back.
  • Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use? I don't, I'm a disgusting controller user.
  • What other games do you enjoy? A multitude of different games and genres, lately outside of GT7 and FM23, I've been playing a load of Ace Combat 7 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk.
  • What are you most looking forward to doing in the community? Just seeing the opinions of others and being involved in a community of like minded racing fans.

I have been unable to figure out where to submit my feed back about gt "sim". I've been playing for several years. But I feel in order for true sim, they need to add "real time weather" per track location for it to true "sim" and to have all us "sim" drivers to truly be tested and experienced.

Let's all agree on one thing. When looking of forecast past/present/and future, anyone can see free. Why can't gt include?

That is one of many when they refer to as a "sim" as profession. It doesn't even come close to "Microsoft flight sim" (which btw, a small fraction does count for licence/hours in general). And is used to simulate from schools to military. With hundreds of people in your hands.

There is not even a dnf category in anyone's profile.

Don't get me wrong. Gt original (in 97) was a great stepping stone to call "sim". But, technology has greatly improved to use word "sim".

So after all most 3 decades (when gt first rolled out), why do they still call it a "sim", when they can't even do real life weather?

Hi everyone, I'm from Italy and I discovered GTplanet while searching for information about the Gran Turismo series online.

My first encounter with racing games was several years ago with "Ford Racing 2" (which I received as a gift in a cereal box).

Only more recently have I wanted to try the Gran Turismo series and I'm currently playing chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Hey what’s up guys. I’m glad I came across this forum since I’ve been looking for some competitive racing! I hope to race you all.

Hello Ed. When I get my ps5 back I'll add you on my friends list and we can race and have fun/compare our times out there on the track.

I am from Iran and live in the city of Karaj. I have been familiar with Gran Turismo and driving for about fifteen years or more...
I've played various car and racing games on different consoles, and none of them have been as close to reality as Gran Turismo.
I learned to drive in the real world with this professional simulator.
I am considered an amateur collector of various game consoles, and I may find something special among these consoles.
😉😉😉
I searched for a GameShark code to get a Chevrolet Corvette Grand Turismo 1, which introduced me to this good and interesting site.
🥰🥰🥰
I am not interested in politics and I am just looking for a comfortable and peaceful life in my own country.
Also, to get to know more people around the world, I try to have good friends in different countries.
I have active accounts on Telegram, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and some other social media apps and networks.
You can find me on Facebook by entering my full name (Mojtaba Mozafarikhah)
Also, my Telegram ID is this
@mojtaba3217
I look forward to seeing your messages, dear ones.
🥰🥰🥰💖💖🙏🙏
Oh my god...
I forgot to mention that I only play with a regular controller and drive and I also like puzzle and horror games and the first puzzle game I was introduced to was a special and little-known game for the Nintendo NES called Blaster Master which has eight incredibly exciting and intricate levels.

And in my opinion it was the best game for the NES console at the time.

What's up everyone! Been a fan of all forms of racing and racing games since I can remember. My first racing game I dove deep into was NASCAR Racing by Papyrus on PC. I've always had a passion for art/design and cars/liveries which drew me to racing initially. I remember bogging down my dad's computer downloading old car sets for that game as well as making my own.

Over the years, I've played many different racing games but, really found a passion for Gran Turismo 7 this past year. I regret not getting on the wagon sooner. The racing is addictive and the livery editor is amazing; it really suits my love for race cars and design alike.

I do race quite a bit but, unfortunately Im still on controller. A former coworker gave me a G29 a few months back and I bought a stand for it and everything but, the force feedback is shot on it. I eventually want to get a DD wheel setup. I tried his Fanatec DD Pro with VR and was hooked. The immersion is incredible.

I've known about GT Planet for years now but, was never really inclined to register and interact.

This past month, I've finally decided to start sharing my livery designs I've been making over the past year on facebook groups and in showcase on GT7. I'm here primarily to network, share my work/hone my skills(learning from some of the vets) and get to know like minded people who share the same passion that I do for car design/livery creation and racing in general.

I'll be looking for tunes for many cars also. First one being the RCF GT500 @ 800pp which I recently made a livery for but, the car is extremely slow compared to the 787B, R92 and other options.

Cheers to all! I look forward to getting to know some of you.

:cheers:

Friends, help me get these correct codes for the short-term Gran Turismo 1.
🥺🥺🥺
 
Sorry, you'll have to ask someone else, I'm not a code expert and I don't have gt1 now. Good luck though...

Hello all i’ve heard that this is an and amazing place to communicate with other Gran Turismo players. I’ve been playing Gran Turismo for about four iterations now. I’m knocking on 60 years old so I seem to be stuck between the D and C driver skill level. I play on a Fanatec Vision GT Bundle on PS5 which works most of the time, but sometimes the only thing that doesn’t work is the FFB at all (don’t get me started). I also have a Next Level Racing F-GT ELITE 160 SCUDERIA FERRARI EDITION rig.

I’m excited to share feedback on the game and my controller issues

Thanks much
