Hello again....

[Bee_Bee9]

Figured I'd post a hello to all at GTP, I have posted a couple of times already looking for some information etc and as I remembered people where quick to come forward with replies and even gifts (special thanks to SUV for all the gifts).

I've been playing racing sims for a few years now first started properly with GT5 Prologue starting out with the pad and trying to race like a demon with the pad, found GTP back then and learnt that being a little aggressive like I was was not the ideal way to drive. Learnt and improved my driving so much because of this site. Invested in numerous wheels like the DFGT and a couple of G25's and the A1 GP playseat. Took part in a few events and enjoyed my time.

Then the PS3 died, I got married had a kid and was persuaded to move over to Forza and the XBOX where I enjoyed my time in Forza 3 and 4, by now I had made the switch to Fanatec (very good wheel and customer services who have replaced my wheels and pedals whenever a fault has happened).

Now that Microsoft have put some distance between themselves and Fanatec I decided a move back to GT series should happen, that and not being prepared to spunk out on a XBOX One, Forza 5 and new racing wheel set up (can't drive with a pad - besides when you make the move to a wheel you don't want to go back to a pad).

My health is a bit up and down so racing can be a bit interrupted but when I do race it brings the smiles to my face and the wife knows to book an appointment for a face to face

It's been 16 days on the game since I got hold of a PS3 and the game and have been trying to get on as much as possible to get into the swing of it ready for GT6. Got the B-Spec out of the way apart from career award, now moved on to doing some seasonals/special events as I try to learn the tracks and figure out the tuning (already made a couple of set ups) over again. Obviously some are similar to what I've been driving over on Forza with just minor differences, may take some time to get up to speed but when and if I do hope to take part in some GTP events etc.


FR are most welcome and maybe in the not to distant future I can be a productive member of the site.

Cheers Bee

Umm... shouldn't this thread go in the "Introduce Yourself!" forum?

Did look around to find such a thread, obviously never found it or overlooked it, feel free to move it (MOD)

@Bee_Bee9 Probably should have been posted in the other forum but it's not a hanging offense . You really should reconsider getting back into the WRS. As you may recall there is no pressure on you to participate but taking part really does ramp up your skill. I think qualifying for the GT5 series is closed now but as soon as GT6 is out they will re-open and we will ALL have to re-do our qualifying so it would be a great time to get in at the start.

Whatever you decide, happy racing

p.s. link to WRS info is in my signature 👍

Will be looking into that at some point, need to brush the GT cobwebs off, expect to be slow as well as clumsy for the time being.

Would like to find out if there are GTP online racing lobbies, not been online yet, went looking last night but not finding anything to my liking and also a little worried at how bad I will be, figured if I could race with GTP guys may be a bit more lenient with me trying to find my way again. Ni mic as yet not sure if that's a problem in online racing?

Thanks Bee

Most of the GTP guys will be racing in the officially organised on-line races and you'll need to be a fully registered member to join in on those but you may be able to hook up with a few of the guys outside of the official races. The best bet is to go and post in the WRS Weekly On-Line racing forum ---> here

If that fails then you can always try the other clubs and race series forum > here < to find something.

I'd offer but I don't do any on-line races. I only do time trials

Hope you find some on-line races to participate in

Well went looking for some online racing as i'd just built a Civic to 400PP on CS tyres and wanted to see how she went...no luck seems it's a minimum of 450PP on RS.
Going to keep looking, bit lame having to enter most rooms to get the required information on what the race regs are.
