This thread is going to be about GT5 and GT6's good ole days. How short, but amazing they were. The things you used to be able to do, and see.
There used to be a time when...
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
There are just so many things that made the open lobibies unique, that are now gone...
Do you have any thing that you miss?
It blows my mind that I use to play these games every single day after school. I could always find my 3 favorite things with no worries that I wouldn't have somebody to play with. Karts, NASCAR and drag rooms were my homes. Not anymore.
I guess this thread was mostly made to vent my reminisence of the game.
Please, go on amd reminisce yourself. Feel free to say what you used to be apart of, and what lobbies you used to always see. Or anything else about the good ole days.
There used to be a time when...
- I could find a lobby that I wanted to join. And if I couldn't, somebody would surely join mine.
- league races were full of drivers.
- NASCAR lobbies would fill up so quickly people would race them at High Speed Ring rather than the more common Indy and Daytona.
- you could find a few different kart rooms, tuned or one-make.
- Canadians would name name their lobbies "QC and Canada ONLY."
- SSR7 was the hottest spot to drag race in a tunnel.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
- HThere used to always be a room open for Formula Gran Turismos that were raced like Indy Cars.
- Occasionally there would be a room or two for NASCARS. That kind of came in spurts. Indy would be be popular for a couple weeks and then it would go back to Daytona for the majority. But not all. Some people really liked Indy NASCAR a lot better. Especially later in the game's lifetime. (This is mainly about GT5)
- You could find a room for racing Rockets as if they were Vintage Indy Cars.
- As for the road course, you could always find a drag racing room. As a matter of fact, you still can. But you probably won't be able to find a clasic muscle car drag room. Now, you just have to join a non-specific room and race GT-R's and Veyrons. It. Sucks.
- Spec racing heaven. Not anymore. Heck, you can't even find spec room nowadays.
- You can't find people drifting the section anymore either.
- Ah. Just what most of you were probably waiting for. Guess what, you can no longer join a 505pp room. Nobody to host them I guess.
- Track Days and Hangout rooms are still valid though, if that is your thing.
- MAXXSTER21 will still host his room of a certain PP limit and any car. But I feel bad for him because he is the only one in there when I see the room open.
- No more NASCAR racing is held here.
- Ocassionally you will see Japanese players running the road course with anything and everything.
There are just so many things that made the open lobibies unique, that are now gone...
- As of typing, there is only 2 drift rooms on Tsukuba right now. There used to be 15 of them. Most of them having over 10 people in them.
- Kart Space, London, Autumn Ring, Madrid, Toscana, Rome... all of these places have no rooms open as of typing this.
- Drag WARZ are not on my lobby list today. Even though I hate those rooms, I like seeing them open and active for the sake of the community.
- No JDM rooms on SSR7 lately.
- Only a handful of cruise rooms are open at any givin' time. They use to be endless.

Ford GT40 MkI on CH limit was my last test lobby car, everyone who joined, left in seconds.
