GTP Geezer ClubOpen

[macdog54]

I remember having to do the FGT career championship in GT3 or 4 (not sure which) at full F1 length, but that was versus AI. I`m not sure how that would be with geezers, but I`ll give it a go. 👍

The race might end up looking like our Samba Bus events.

Speaking of Samba Bus, this is what I saw in our last event.

Is it a bird ?

Greetings, Geezers-
My PSN ID is Xposed2Play but Don is quicker to type. My birthday was in November of 1954. I've been racing Gran Turismo on PS3 since GT5. IRL I'm a big F-1 fan, living in Arizona, USA. I'm still getting used to the idea of Geezerdom... so I figure the best way to embrace it is to do so with the gusto of pride and companions! :idea:Is there still any room for another driver on this Samba Bus y'all are partying on? I'd sure like to join this esteemed group for the laps to come.

Nearly time to go geezers i will publish a list of cars this afternoon they will all be stock with oil change if you want and brake bias change only.
For the uninitiated oil change will give you more power within the regulations.
There will be a list of nine cars but we wont know which car or track until the last minute tomorrow.
There will be three races as usual ten laps each then the silly race.
For any new drivers joining us the last race is no rules, absolutely anything goes except all cars will be Daihatsu midgets fully tuned for gran turismo arena. nos not allowed.

Seasonal recommendation for the current Mid-Field event.

You'll sit like a Brit, stir like a Greek and have tiny pots. Guess!!!

 

[nosoks]

greetings Geezers, long time no see
just curious about clubs again, I got 3 geezer clubs on my list and just want to know whose clubs are still active or if I can "unsubscribe" from any.
Been having some issues lately, the game sometimes thinks I have not agreed to terms and conditions.... wierd huh?
@possum , after a few tries my Jag got the job done, but have to drive it like an Italian

 

[Stewyripper]

Anyone having trouble with the car list look at @whoosiergirl post 1869 above, this is the correct list with pics as well.

 

[Stewyripper]

Geezers room will be open at 13.45 UK time today 08.45 Eastern. See you all later Stewy

I sent a FR, even though I don't get much chance to race on a regular basis these days, hoping that changes soon.
If you want to race real early Sat Morning ( 9:00am E) look for club I/D 1027452, that's where a lot of these Geezers will be hanging out. Cars are listed in post above.
Hope to see you on the track sometime.

Thank you! I spent Friday evening changing oil and washing cars (after scrounging around to find all the keys) and parking them all in the " ready garage" to get ready for Saturday. ( Thanks to WG for the idea of moving them all into "favorites" ahead of time!)

Thanks @Stewyripper for creating & ALL participants for another FUN FILLED Saturday at the races!

I second that! The amount of work and tracking @Stewyripper does to host these is impressive, and I for one appreciate it! Thank you!
By next event I'll have this mic/headset figured out. I think my geezer mind forgot to plug in the bluetooth thingy into the PS3 thingy... lol. Sheesh. Only took me a damn hour to figure out why it wasn't working... now y'all know why I'm so slooooowww...

Thanks one and all for great couple of hours racing fun, especially Stewy for the organisation and to Don @Xposed2Play for selflessly waiting for me to finish first in the 2 way debacle we finished with. Brilliant.

Hi Geezers,

I am 62 and would like to join the Geezer Club. I started with GT5 but have never done any online racing other than a few QM’s – mostly just seasonal tt’s and race events. Anyway I would like to try some clean racing with folks of a similar age. I hear you ROCK:tup:, have your own nurse Geezette and a super tuner Geezling. I also know at least some of you guys (and gal) are wicked fast, so I could be your new tail gunner. If you have room for one more, please tell me what I need to do (my noobishness applies to pretty much all things online, not even a headset yet). My PSN is matilda1234 – and no, I’m not a chick. Thanks!

 

[Stewyripper]

Ok Geezers and nursie {no not nessie}, good day yesterday much fun had by all.
Well next weekend the first event will be one make stock setup in the rain at Brands Hatch.
The car is the Caterham 7 Fireblade. There is test track setup for you in geezer racing, all i can say is throttle control here will be king.
Enjoy.
will post second and third race and cars when i have sorted them out.
Final event is churning around in my head but they won't let me put snow tyres on the Red Bull fan car.🤬🤬🤬 hahahaha. [manic laugh]

 

[GTFireball]

Thanks for your help @Stewyripper ! Clearly I am in need of a good headset. Any suggestions from anyone on that, I am all ears - actually I appear to be quite deaf Thanks to all for the welcome and I'm looking forward to it.
