When Virtual Reality Racing began in late 2013, it began as a way of coping with real life problems. VRR was a place drivers could come to escape problems, distract themselves, and race. As we approach our fifth birthday in December, it's impossible not to look at how much VRR has grown and evolved, and how much the members of VRR, the drivers and the teams that compete here, have contributed to that growth. There is no better way to view that growth, that change, than with the championship that got VRR off the ground those years ago. As the pinnacle of VRR Online Competitive Championship racing, the Autobacs Super GT Championship is often the first place changes are introduced. It is here we have experimented with class splits and how many drivers per class can race. We routinely look to improve the idea of success ballast, experimenting with ideas until we find the solution that fits the best in the world of Gran Turismo Sport, and it's become the place where legends of VRR are first born and crafted into so much more. In this championship, we are competitors, but in a more heartfelt way, we are more like a family as well. A family built around racing and competition that is not often replicated. I invite you to see what we are made of, and hope to see everyone on the grid.

I can’t make it to all the races, so I think I’ll join as a part timer. I’m starting to have had enough with the ramming and the POS-penalty system in Sport mode. I know I’m destined to be dead last, but there’s at least no ramming in VRR.

Welcome back! I think you'll find the success ballast this season to be a lot more favorable.
 
VRR used for coping with problems? To be frank, VRRs been the source of half my problems the last few months!

Good type of problems, if such a thing exists.

Can't wait to hop back in a GT again. Never thought I'd miss it.
 
Currently 2 full time GT300 spaces remaining. Reserve entries for both classes still wide open.

After long negotiations, the team and Rockstar agreed on cancelling our contract, due to lack of results. But we managed to trick Monster into believing that the team is a contender for the title:lol:

Please don’t tell them the truth :lol:;)

It's okay. They sponsor NASCAR. Surely they have some money laying around if they're throwing it away on that.
 
I’m sitting here, trying to throw together a livery (a nice livery is as important as winning;)), but I was using the link posted on Discord a while back. There are some differences, even though the ones on Discord is supposedly for SGT season 6. Which set of rules are we going by? The Discord ones, or the ones posted here?:confused: @Eva

Why are Michelin’s in GT500 banned?

Edit: Switched to Yokohama’s.

Announcement has been made today that Half The Race Gone will be broadcasting 9 of our 10 races this season, with exception to the French 300km as it conflicts with another commitment they set up first. I think having Dirten and HTRG broadcasting our races will be a significant boost to us here in VRR, and it's a boost for them as we'll be their first organization from North America that they'll be broadcasting with. I encourage everyone to give them a subscribe and join us, even if you aren't racing, when our season starts in less than three weeks.

Hello all! I've heard good things about VRR and want to get my foot into the door. Short introduction; I'm GRM_Bandit (PSN) and I have been league racing for about a year. You can find some of my racing on Endureon (IMSA, Blancpain, and BTCC), Half The Race Gone (Nukeshot Endurance Series), and Dynamic Racing League (DRL DTM and DRL Super Formula). I will admit that I am a flawed driver, but I do my best to continue improving as much as I can.

With that out of the way, I would like to join as a reserve driver (currently committed to DRL DTM which runs during the VRR race time).
