GT 7 GEEZER CLUB

[oldboy1943]

Greetings Geezers, I am a 57yo and would like to enjoy some clean racing with Men and women that honor the sport no matter the "venue". Is it possible for me to join? I sure hope so, the AI bore me, and Sport Mode is akin to jungle warfare, at best.

Sure it is possible. Try us on Wednesday,"Wednesday Night Geezer Race" . We use always a head set. Send me a friend request.

Hey G*Z*Rs, I posted a POV (left eye) of our Nurburgring 2-lap from Mar 23rd, if you're interested. I also posted a POV (left eye) of our Nurburgring 2-lap from Mar 23rd, if you're not interested.

There's some frantic mirror-checking on the Dottinger Hohe, looking for that damned Tundra. LOL

65 -yo, would love to race with other “mature” racers. I’m primarily interested in Gr3, Gr4 racing/league. If I’ve found my tribe - please message me (or send a friend request). Hope to see you all on track!

Since I'm the one who opens the room on Saturdays and Sundays, could you please send me the car specifications 2 or 3 days prior the race , and I'll give a heads-up so people can prepare the car. As long as it's nothing weird or absurd, when it's your turn to request the next race, you can ask for whatever you want, as long as it's within the rules posted for the races.

Hi. I would like to give your league a try. (I’m 72). Please set me up. Is there a general guide to your group. Thanks.

REPOST:
I was talking to Jerry Schulte (yes, I know he died a few years ago) the other night after the last few weeks of somewhat contentious racing. He told me it's time for a Geezer Club reset. Jerry created this club 10 years ago to fill a need of older and or more laid-back pilots. He realized that some of the official GT racers don't have the abilities of younger drivers. Or, they were not interested in the daily races where running someone off the track, because you can, is an acceptable way to have fun. We're less serious about winning, and put having fun higher than that goal. Below are some guidelines for becoming a Geezer Club member, or a wannabe Geezer Club participant.

Geezer is someone who is 60 years old or will be 60 years old this year.

Drop the win at all cost attitude and have fun. That's why we use boost strong to help a driver recover from racing incidents. Overly aggressive driving isn't allowed.

If you must talk during a race, keep it on topic, and try not to talk just to hear yourself make noise. Joking around for a laugh is highly recommended. Be respectful of others' opinions even if they are wrong, don't argue, there's nothing more disrupting than listening to two people argue when most don't want to hear it.

After a race is finished, take a moment of silence to let the owner of the room have some time to talk with the person selecting the next race so he can start the set up for the track.

1 - If someone wants to participate in a Geezer lobby, they have to first respond to this message on the geezer thread and be accepted by the committee on a trial basis. We don't care how fast or slow you are, it's how you race that counts.

2 - Geezer Lobbies are for Geezers and invited Friends only. Friends of friends will not be automatically accepted. If you join without asking, you will need to leave, and follow rule 1 for the next event.

3 - If you are not 60 years old but would like to join us, you can be accepted on temporary bases (geezling). If you race too aggressively and the win is more important than having fun, you will likely be asked not to return.

4 - It's usual that the host posts the first 4 races. When those are complete, a participant is asked to choose a car and track till the end of the session. This way most everyone has the opportunity to choose a race they like.

5: We like to do quick races (5 to 10) laps to keep the lobby running (we are old and the time is critical) so PP races or any other race that involves testing and a long time to prepare the car can only be chosen by the lobby host that is running the race. These races will be posted in advance so we have time to prepare the cars. If you have any ideas, submit them to the host in advance and he will consider using them.

6 - If you want to host a Geezer race event, it is necessary for the host to also follow the rules as outlined.
