CRAP GT6 - GT500 Sat 7 Nov 9pm EST (GMT-5)Open

Hi C.R.A.P.pers,

I have been reading your group's forum and it sounds like a serious whilst relaxed online environment to enjoy casual racing. I'm currently completing in the GT Academy, having achieved gold in both rounds so far, but am a rookie when it comes to online racing.

I can't race on a regular consistant basis due to working any 5 days in 7, but just want some clean, fun racing against real people. I respect that misjudgements and accidents happen, so drivers should be given a fair chance to learn from mistakes and try to improve.

May I join your group? My timezones are UTC=0 (winter) and UTC+1 (summer).

 

[TruGenTimeless]

Wow this sounds really cool, to be honest I don't really put a level to my driving. I think I'm pretty good since I'm mostly around the Touge scene of GT, but there are times I just want to drive with chill laid back drivers. I'm currently part of a team and have two sub-teams that I do.

If its ok, I wouldn't mind just meeting up with someone from your group or you (I'm staying on the East coast USA time) to just drive. No matter track course or conditions, I like meeting drivers of all levels, we all can learn so much from each other whether pro or new.

Send me a message at PSN: Dognelli when you guys are on.

Good to have you on board truegen and gits.

Check link in my signature for details.

We've been quite lately due to gt6 being a bit anti club and the tyre glitch hasn't helped but there's always someone online doing something so head over to our forum, introduce yourselves and we can organise some Friend Requests

Cheers Heathenpride. Hope to race you (and others) soon.
Just to clear up my timezones, my summer is March-October - note to self; North summer is South winter, stupid

 

[wastedwu]

This sounds great. I usually am online Thursday and Friday nights around 8:30 Eastern. Would love to learn a few things from you guys.

Welcome Wasted!

With the new update we are on the move with organising regular races again with the monthly Enduros making a return in June.

I will post info here when I've sorted the details out

 

[TruGenTimeless]

I'm usually on on Wed- Thurs and at times Saturdays

 

[Cutch_22]

This sounds like a pretty good group, I really would like to improve my driving skills. Driving with an actual controller can only get you so far, but I really would like to get better. My internship right now has me working some days until midafternoon and some I go to evening. I'm usually available every weeknight, and weekend mornings. C.R.A.P. seems like the place for me!

 

[revs213]

when is there going to be a room open because I want to meet some of the members in this group and see all of the different driving styles of the others and help them on what they need to improve on and see what I'm doing wrong compared to the others. Because I am pretty sure that there are people in this group that are better at driving on the game.

 

[HP]

@revs213 - Head to our forum if you haven't already mate and you will find some helpful members

As for open rooms? Well, my next post should help with that!!

Not at all mate

It's two separate races so you can do one, both or neither 👍

Ok good I'll see if I can make it to the race tomorrow but I won't make it tonight. But I do have a question about the car restriction, can the car be GT3 or does it have to be only GT300

 

[HP]

Attention all CRAPpers and potential CRAPpers:

After being a little quiet, due to many factors, we will be starting a weekly race "night" in the next few weeks. When I say race "night" I mean one for our northern hemisphere members and an additional one for those of us south of the 'quater (or northern hemisphere insomniacs) so there should be something for everyone!

If you are either a current CRAP member or not yet signed up then you are welcome so let us know here if you would be keen!

We run anything and everything, could be a games night with random shenanigans, a serious race night with pro regs, street cars, weird cars, race cars or that bloody lunar rover if we can manage it!!

We do everything and anything, welcome all and we aim to have fun so if you are keen then post up here

At this stage we will be looking at weekends as it's the most popular time for most so we will start there 👍

Look forward to hearing from you all!!

HP

PS

Also I will add this: In the past our site policy was to restrict member base because we used a multi PSN ID lobby system that meant we could only have 100 members. That no longer applies so all ex members, who wandered off for whatever reason and were removed, are encouraged to sign up again without fear of being deactivated in the future as that restriction no longer applies 👍

Hi all

CRAP now has a couple of clubs set up in gt6, we figured a few may be required so for now we have CRAP: Casual Racing which has the code 1000641 plus @johnschoonsbeard has one set up as well and he will post the details here soon.

We will work out how best to utilise the multi club angle and will let you all know once we have it sorted

On here I'm JohnScoonsBeard (without the h as GTP doesn't allow the same number of characters in username as PSN).

Anyway the other Crap club to join is simply called "CRAP: Casual Racing 2". id is 1000344

[micantony]

Awesome, lets get together for some races soon. :-)

Is there an online element to the Club? for those of us chained to our desk at work?

Edit:
looks like you can access the community through the GT website and your user login:

for the US:

community link in the upper right.

 

[Thomas2012]

Not too late to join is it? This looks like a great community of players! I also wouldn't mind moving from offline racing to online. I'm free most days after college but in the next week or two I won't be so active due to exams

Also will there be many events to happen still?
And is it free to join the community club?

Congrats guys, that was a good combo.

I did dop the Nurb one thinking it was a time trial

I'm getting old.
