Hello, I'm on finally on GTPlanet.
I found it through the GT community.
I'm from France and I started playing racing games when I was little. This is how I got my interest in racing and became a motorsport fan 😄
I'm racing in GT7 with a Logitech G923 steering wheel.
My other games besides Gran Turismo include Ridge Racer, WipEout, Tetris, Lumines, F1, LittleBigPlanet, ModNation Racers, MotoGP, Gravity Rush and the list goes on...
Favorite console will always be the PS Vita

Hi all. This is the first forum i have joined, so I’m popping my cherry so to speak. Found this forum while looking for posts about the quickest time for Sardegna 800, then i ate some humble pie when i saw the results. Live in Surrey, UK, and first played the original Gran Turismo on PS1, but never really got into it until 3 years ago on PS5 - and I’ve been literally hooked since.

I play with the controller, but I’m itching to get a wheel set up and VR2 - potentially Santa’s has something for me if i can earn enough brownie points with my wife. Other games i love are first person shooters, but I’m no fan of multiplayer - FarCry3/4/5/6, CoD all, but recently I’ve been addicted to Ghost of Tsushima. Also if anyone has kids old enough to play the dual dependencies in ‘It takes Two’ and ‘Split Fiction’ are amazing fun.

I’m looking to meet fellow GT7 fans - i recently took my son to GT Live in London, which was amazing (i wish the data presentation on the screen display was the same in GT7 as they have at GT Live) - and hopefully get involved in some races/league at a level where i enjoy it, I’ve found it hard to get into the online options available. To give an idea of where i am……Spa 800 I’ve just hit 2:12 lap time with Mazda 787B (super chuffed with that but some are way better), Sardegna 800 1:29 in same car, but I can’t seem to repeat it. Sardegna 800 best total time 24:12 - but this morning i saw a video of a guy getting under 23 minutes, i hope I never meet him online!!!

Good to meet you all!
Nick

Hi I’m from Michigan in the United States. I found GT Planet as I was searching for a racing community to learn about gear, and sim racing in general. I’ve always been interested in car racing. As a kid I was fortunate enough to see the Indy 500 twice in person, and such great drivers as Mario Andretti, Al and Bobbie Unser, Mark Donahue, etc. In college in the 80s I watched a lot of F1, Indy car and NASCAR. Then I got married had a family and got busy. Then in 2018 I stumbled on Drive to Survive on Netflix and my love of F1 was rekindled. This past December I bought F124 for PlayStation, tried to play with a controller, which was a nonstarter, so bought a Logitech G923 and a wheel stand, and was hooked. I just received my first chassis, an rseat A1 Formula, it just arrived and I can’t wait to assemble it. As my abilities improve I plan to upgrade my wheel and pedals. The simagic alpha evo gear really intrigues me. Seems like a great value. The only other video game I play is Call of duty. Thanks for adding me to the community! I know I’ll learn a great deal and have some great conversations. Let’s go!

Hello everybody.

First let me say that I am getting on in years and posting on forums and stuff is very new to me and I don't use social media at all.
So please bear with me if I display any poor standards of etiquette.

So, with regards to the introductory questions, I found GTPlanet whilst looking for some help with regards to uploading decals to GT7.
It's the usual thing where I can load my decal but it wont display in the game. There is a lot of pointers on the internet saying this is the place to come for answers. so here I am.

I am from the UK and i started my gaming journey on the PS2 playing Gran Turismo and TOCA Touring Cars.

I am currently using a Thrustmaster T-GT II wheel base, with a Thrustmaster Ferrari 488 GT3 Wheel.

I also like first person shooter games particularly the Call Of Duty and Medal Of Honour franchises. I also like flying games, particularly Ace Combat.

With regards to what I look forward to doing in the community, the answer is I don't really know. As I said before I have not done this before so I don't really know what to expect.

Many Thanks.
 
Hi all,

Saw it mentioned on Overtake, what was Race Dept.
The UK
Probably the 70s on something like digital derby, however I think the one I played was wind up not battery.
I use a G29
Online FPS, CoD etc. Also I enjoy retro games, being old. Amiga, Spectrum, C64, arcade and older consoles.
Not really sure, hopefully I can be helpful member of this community.
 
Hello everyone,

found this good old forum while searching for GT7 daily races and some lobbies to partecipate in and infally registered. :)

Wanted to start playing racing games properly so went out and bought a g29 and gt7 altogheter, didn't regret it.
I do like other genres as rpgs, tactical and managements but well, time is a problem so better race fast! ;)
 
Browsing around when I heard you can join a team. I'm interested in doing that if possible.

United States, Wisconsin

Since the first need for speed came out. I just got into sim racing about a year ago.

Yes, thrustmaster

I used to play destiny but now I just race

Learn and share things to become faster and possibly join a team or more like a brotherhood.
