more months and I can be a Geezer!
I am sure in the grand scheme of things that you could join us now. Not many of us ageing racers around. Our Sunday lobby is open to 'younger' drivers so feel free to join in. Send me a freind request as I host the lobby on Sundays. SteveBeech_22. If the rest of the guys agree that you are ok to join us on a Saturday (Geezer day) send a freind request to GT-RaceAce as he hosts on Saturdays. Viper9-Al and oldboy1943 share the hosting on a Wed.

We try to race clean and fair. We value freindship more than slamming it up the inside of someone and we wait for an opening or a mistake. Occasionally things don't quite go to plan but in general we have good clean racing with respect given to all. A headset is required as we use party chat to communicate and have good banter and we also talk a load of bollox sometimes :)

I will send a friend request. What is your PSN gamer name please?
 
I have grinded enough after the previous update, now, to recognise that tire grip has changed, regardless of what PDI said about it.

Using only Race Hards as my example, the short Trial Mountain races are easier and quicker compared to before, using the same car.

The Sardegna race can still be run without pitting, yes, but I have to be much more careful getting on the throttle coming out of corners. I have spun many more times than what I used to lose control. I can still recover enough to get all credits, so far, but a few are closer to getting second place.

So, one example on the same tires is easier, the other is more tricky.
 
I just heard on the radio and thought of all our Geezer and younger friends from the United Kingdom, our heartfelt condolences go out to you and the World for the loss of your beloved Queen Elizabeth II. 96 years she gave her all to each and every human on this planet. Rest in Peace Her Majesty, Rest in Peace.

We lost our founder geezer1791View attachment 1114924 Nov 25, 2020. We have continued in his forum GT SPORT GEEZER CLUB. We will move to GT 7 in less than a month and will continue to have weekly events Saturday, Sunday mornings as well as Wednesday evenings. Since he is gone now, the GEEZERS will carry on as he would have wanted. This will be the official site for new postings next month.

We change tracks, cars, pp classes, sometimes we pick 'one make',, etc. There's just too many changes as we go along for our 3 1/2 to 4 hour racing and visiting (of course some do not stay for all the races and that's OK) to need to type. Headsets keep everyone "in the know" and helps move things along. Thanks for "sucking it up" for the Geezers. :cheers:

With exception to - YOU ARE MAKING a few of us spend LOADS of credits :crazy:we're trying to save for a specific hotrod (for me it's the Mercedes CLK and I want it real bad) these races are gonna be a ton of fun! It's OK though👍, I'll just have to pound around Sardania and replace the almost 1 million (plus).:scared: WRT the Formula SF19 I didn't own it before but I'm buying it 'cause I need it anyway.:) The Dino,, :indiff: I don't have it and it's not available at the moment in used or legends so I'll have to use perhaps the '76 Ferrari 512 BB at 550pp. I'm looking forward to these races partner,, alot!😁😁

Same boat here no Dino to buy, is there another option?
 
Sorry John, I tought that everybody had the collection of used cars.
So if you don't have the car, you can use a tuned 550pp car of that same time era ( '60 to '80)
In the first page of the Praiano, tread, you will find all his tune by PP and alphabetically
