Today, GTPlanet celebrates a truly unbelievable milestone: 25 years online!
If you had told the 14-year-old version of me — tinkering with the early internet on a dial-up modem — that his Gran Turismo 2 hobby site would eventually reach hundreds of millions of people and last for more than 25 years, I never would have believed you. But here we are!
To celebrate the big occasion, we are hosting a special live edition of the GTPlanet Podcast on our YouTube channel, featuring myself, Andrew Evans, Chaz Draycott, and all of you!
It’s going to be a party, so expect fun conversations about where we came from, where we’re going, and maybe even some of the crazy stories from behind-the-scenes. We’ll be interacting with the live chat and taking your questions, too!

Thank You for 25 Years!
GTPlanet’s anniversaries are great for looking back, but most of all, they make me feel incredibly lucky.
The site you see today is the result of thousands of people coming together over a shared passion. From our amazing moderators who keep the forums running smoothly, to our news team, to every single person who has ever posted a comment, read an article, or just lurked in the threads: THANK YOU!
I have watched members grow up on this site. I’ve seen friendships form, rivalries spark, and I’ve even seen GTPlanet members go on to become real-world professional racing drivers. Leading this community has been the honor of a lifetime.
So, let’s get together, share some memories, and celebrate a quarter century of the best racing community on the web.
Here’s to the next 25!
