Hi, are you still accepting new entrants to the league? I'm looking to join for some clean racing at UK friendly times...
Thanks.

Absolutely, We race mainly Thursdays and Sundays but were about from 7pm most days.
Do you have a headset and microphone?
What's your PSN name?

Yeah I’ve got those, though I usually use a wheel for racing. I guess I’ll have to have a controller with headphones plugged in as dual controller? Or can you connect Bluetooth headphones to a PS5?
My PSN name is Hello_There71355. I’ll send a friend request this evening, once my kids have finished playing!
Thanks.

You can do both, use the controller or a bluetooth headset.
Looking forward to racing with you.

Lunch, am I right to think that you race the Mazda Roadster and Mini exclusively?

Spot on! I'll get working on my car line-up, and hope to join you soon. (As soon as I've managed to get some of that stuff used to give his Mrs, to allow him a bit of 'me' time.)

Really looking forward to hearing some of the old voices. Although, what they'll be saying to me...

Hi all, I was looking for a UK league and came across GBRC on this forum. After sending a friend request Iwas invited to join the lobby tonight for the MX5 racing. Although I don't yet have a headset, buying one at the weekend, I was made to feel really welcome and had a few laps with a couple of the guys. Hopefully I will definitely be racing with these guys again.
Thanks for being patient tonight with me only using the chat option.
Looking forward to lots more racing.
Cheers

Great to have you on board Mark, having an headset will help with the communication so picking one up will be a great choice. Hope to see you again soon for some clean competitive racing.

Was good to talking to you.
We had some great races, you will fit right in with us.

Le Mans 50 minute endurance tonight.

 

[cokebloke]

The Le Mans race was brilliant and was great to see close clean honest racing but then that’s what GBRC is all about. Can’t wait for the next series now and it’s looking like a good grid count.

Was a fantastic race, shame you had cramp during the race
Great turn out with another series on the horizon should be a full grid.

Awesome video @lunchbox147 !!!!

Hi there! First time post here. I am newish to GT and enjoying it loads but what is missing is some social element given that there is no way to speak to one another and share tips/learnings (that text chat is far from smooth). Been looking for a group of clean and mature racers in UK/Europe time zone to play with and this sounds like it! Lunchbox and Cokebloke I have sent you PSN invites and have already acquired 3+ of the recommended cars.. will work on the rest this week. See you on the track soon!. Thanks
