I'd like to invite all racers, new and old, to come race with us on Sunday nights for some good ol' fashion racing! We have been grouping up since the days of Gran Turismo 5 and always looking for good people to race with. Here is a run through of how our night goes/about us:
- Lobby opens up @ 8:45 PM EST and runs until about 12:30-1:00 AM EST (can be a little earlier or later depending on work schedules). we also create a voice chat on PSN with the same event name.
- Car category can be anything! we believe a great driver is someone who is well-versed in different disciplines. Gr.3 is typically what most person are use to but it can easily go to super formula then to rally haha. With Daytona Superspeedway being brought back in GT7, we will be working towards bringing back "NASCAR style" races with a one make race (car to be determined)
- Races last about 10-15 minutes (usually a 5 lap race, depending on track). Track selection can range from Tsukuba to Sarthe. You name it, we race it.
- Whether you are new to the game or have been playing for years, everyone is welcome! There is always room for improvement and we are happy to help each other and everyone else become a better driver... because in the end, it helps us get better too.
- Room settings are tailored to provide great opportunities for close racing but able to showcase your skills. We are still testing different settings but currently they are:
1. Boost = strong
2. slipstream strength = weak
3. BOP = on
4. grip off-track = real
5. Grid starts are slowest first
6. Allow Tuning
Ultimately the goal is to provide consistent great races. Boost has always been a polarizing issue for some, but the reasoning behind it is this... boost allows everyone to benefit. It allows everyone to be put in situations that they are not comfortable with and improve. It's also forgiving for drivers who may have been wrecked early in the race and gives them the opportunity to salvage the race.
- Everyone is expected to race clean and with respect. We are all for good door-to-door racing (a little contact is acceptable) but when that is taken advantage of... policing may be necessary. We try our best to make sure everyone gets a fair swing at a good race, but for times when we may not see an incident happen we hope everyone holds each other accountable as well as yourself. If for example you brake too deep into a corner and hit somebody off, at least make an attempt to slow down and give position back.
For anyone interested, feel free to hop in the lobby. we are open to recruiting new members who enjoy racing with us and want to race with us more. If you want, you can send either myself (ratchet2448) or Greyfox630 a message. You can also check out my youtube channel and greyfox's youtube channel (TLN Greyfox630) to see some of the great races we've had recently. Check out the video below to see some of the highlights we had from GT Sport
I look forward to seeing you guys on the track!
