I have no GTP tag.

My PSN however is Ultimoron. Don't ask.

PS - the OP said something about 32 slot private lobbies - is it really true? Wow, that'll be so uber, can you imagine an online endurance race with 32 cars? Just imagine if we can do time-based online races... who would say yes to a yearly 24-hour competition between GT forums? 4-6 drivers a team, winner gets bragging rights for a year. GTP has apparently pulled off LAN parties before, with people travelling great distances to attend, so why couldn't that be done?
 
Sad... maybe in GT6.

16 cars is still plenty though. What does everyone think of the 24-hour forum challenge and online race series in general?
 
I would love to do team endurances and other races but as for the

" GTP has apparently pulled off LAN parties before, with people travelling great distances to attend, so why couldn't that be done?"

I would be out, maybe if their is a way like instead of passing control off to BOB you turn it over to another online teammate.
 
It might be a bit hard to implement, but it would definitely make such an event much easier.

With a livery editor patch, it would be absolutely beyond belief. BTW, in such an eventuality, what would GTP colors be? Darkish red on silver? Black on silver? Black on silver with red trim?
 
Please add me to that list!

I will not using a GTP-Tagged Username at any point.
I want to keep all my online data on my proper user.

Cheers 👍 I also believe I was in Division Silver once, with my old GTP-Tagged name.

But that appears no longer so. Guess I can't with my non-GTP'd user.
 
This is a good thing, please add me :)

I used to be GTP_Ren831 and was in Devision 1 Silver, I guess this will apply with the shorter name, too (?). What won't apply is finding me in Div 1 again in GT5 :lol:, but I'm looking forward to what's on our way! 👍
 
I'll update the list in the first post soon(ish) when I'm either not so busy in work or dig my laptop out from underneath a huge pile of decorating stuff. Good to see people discussing the possibilities on the online racing, fingers crossed the team/clan/tournament support will be in depth.

It's 32 person lobbies with 16 racers and 16 spectators.

It's definitely "only" 16 cars on track and although 32 player lobbies has been mentioned I'm still a little unsure if that will be the case but even if it is just 16 player lobby and on track that's still plenty.

If you can find out what Division number you were in I'll add it to your entry on the list even without a GTP_PSN ID. As this is totally separate to the official WRS the divisions are only an indication of an individuals pace which may be useful if you want to arrange a session with people on a similar level.

I'll add D1 silver to your entry but don't blame me if you get duffed up by the current D1 guys ;) Is it a case of "the older I get the faster I was"? :lol: ...that definitely applies to me :dopey:
 
Looking forward to getting back online again with the new one!!! It seems like an age ago since TGS2009 when I thought it was so close!

I did not see any specific info on what options are available to a race host ("boss") in the first post. has this info been announced by Sony/PD?
(I am probably blind, deaf, and dumb! :dopey: )

I hope like in other PC racing sims that the host can choose what specific cars and/or car classes can be allowed in his race?
 
Everyone is now on the list in the first post, it's up to about 360 now!!

I haven't put all the news relating to the online mode in the first post but it's pretty much guaranteed that the host (the persons "My Lounge" you're in) can set parameters for the race.

Only yesterday this was posted by the guy who was with PD at SEMA

Q: Is there the ability to make regulations for an online race for specific cars with specific modifications or tuning restrictions beyond tire/power/weight?

A: It is possible to set parameters for specific cars beyond tire/power/weight, but no specific details given
