Hello

 

[lunchbox147]

Hello guys, thanks for responding to my friend request on the PS. I’ve played Gran Turismo on and off since GT3, always on the controller and offline so still very much new to racing online and joining teams. I mentioned to Lunchbox that I’m in a different zone so let’s see how that plays out! Thanks and looking forward to some clean races with all of you - though I’ll probably finish dead last haha

Most of of our drivers use wheels, I myself use a controller as well.
We cater for drivers new to online racing so you're in good company there.
Racing and practice starts 8pm UK so you will be early in the morning when you race I think.
Time and positions are not what we look for, all we want is gentlemanly conduct on track and off track and most of all for you to enjoy yourself.
Look forward to seeing you on track soon.

Quick Reference Guide to GBRC GT7 Casual Racing Rules

At GBRC we pride ourselves in clean racing with minimal contact.
We have an active team of Race Admin members who take part in all races & study the race replays.
We aim for realistic racing and would ask drivers to drive as if it was their car.

Below is a brief version of our Online Racing Rules ;

The Track ;
The game will issue penalties for track limits.
If a driver breaks the track limits and gains an advantage you should give up that advantage.

Qualifying ;
Just like in real life racing, do not obstruct other drivers who are on a fast qualifying lap.
Please move off the racing line or off track.
Do not park on track while qualifying is still in progress.
If you catch up to a driver then it’s your responsibility to back off.
Do not hinder the car in front.

The Race ;
Avoid contact with other cars.
If you make contact with another car & either make them lose control / leave the track / spin, you must wait for the car to rejoin and allow him past.
If another car is ahead & on the racing line when braking into a corner, you must back out of any manoeuvre to avoid contact or spinning the other car around.
Continual contact / rubbing the car in front is not acceptable
Weaving to avoid slip streaming / towing the car behind is not acceptable – you can move once.
If you leave the track, care must be taken to safely re-join without hindering other drivers.
Be prepared to leave racing room for cars that are alongside or 'overlapping' you
The race is not won in the first corner – be patient on the first few corners.
You must make every effort to avoid collisions, this would include going off track.

Two words to think about - Patience and Awareness.

Be gentlemanly,polite and respectful.
Respect the stewards and Admin.

Persistent, careless, abusive driving could result in a Permanent ban from GBRC.
