Hello everyone , im from atl ga i have been playing racing sims for over 20 years, its only in the past few months that i decided that i sould step it up and become more serious with the racing sims . after all i have dumped over 20 years into playing and never even thought about becoming a pro eracer. i recently purchased my first wheel logitech g25, with the h shifter i think it is a great package for people just starting out , i will be upgrading to a dire3ctdrive package this year sometime . i devote several hours a day to racing on line and local play . GTR 2 was my first real taste of what a true driving simulation program should be i have continued to play it here and there but kinda quit following it after the big gtr3 let down . im still crushed heart broke even. i now spend the majority of my time on raceroom but i recently discovered that gtr 2 had MODS!! so i think this has brought a new level of excitement for me giving one of my all time favorite sims a new life. i look forward to interacting with everyone and thanks for taking the time to create such an awesome community ! right now i am trying to figure out how to install cars i figured the tracks thing out its pretty self explanitory but no so much with the cars.

I learned about GT Planet when I started researching to put together my first rig, probably around 6-8 months ago (it and RaceDepartment were my first two bookmarks).

Florida, USA

Just started SIM driving a couple months ago as far as using a wheel goes. As far as any SIM racing, got hooked on GT 1 on playstation. Well actually, I loved Pole Position arcade game as a kid and remember the first time I beat the whole thing; you couldn't add more quarters to play longer, you just got to play until you died. Then Cruisin USA, etc, and finally consoles. When I got an xbox x last Christmas I got sucked into Forza H 4, then Forza 7, and then my hand started hurting from using the controllers too much and I decided to look into getting a more serious setup. I eventually bought a PC and built a rig.

I got a DD2 along with a Fanatec Formula v2 and a classic wheel. I love the classic wheel so I finally got around to putting some buttons and paddle shifters on it (manual transmission is my favorite though).

So far nearly all my time has been spent in Assetto Corsa. And I've played a little ACC. I bought RFactor and PC2 in the summer sale but haven't gotten around to them yet. I don't have a playstation right now. Oh yeah, and cruising around in GTA V in VR with a sim rig is just amazing, so I got sucked into that for a couple weeks. But I'm back on the Sim racing programs now. I'm looking forward to learning more in the community, as I start to get into actually racing. So far I've just been driving solo, learning to drive and discovering new tracks.

I found this site trying to do this SVG stuff for GT7's decal uploader.
I'm from Rochester, Minnesota
I remember playing an older GT game that was on PS2 or 3 and thought it looked so real... playing the game now on the PS5 is a massive upgrade to the graphics and the game mechanics.
Yes I play with the Logitech G923. I got it for Farming Sim (kinda funny to get a wheel just for farming) but once GT7 came out I've been playing it a lot with the wheel.
I enjoy lots of games but I really don't know which is my favorite.
I kinda just made this just to get help with this decal stuff since I'm not smart enough for this lol
 
Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well at the time of this post.

I found GTPlanet while looking for different tunes for GT7, really enjoyed it so here I am. I am from the mountains of North Carolina, USA. I have been playing racing games since the original Road Rash game, Mario cart, Need for Speed's, etc. I use a Logitech G29, waiting on Fanatec to get here. I play Crew2 right now and GT7, as well as some Farming Simulator 22, F1. I am looking forward to learning more about serious Sim racing and setups, making some friends and just enjoying myself. Glad to be here, thanks all and have a good one.
 
Hi I am Kezza. I live in Cairns Queensland Australia. I have been playing Gran Turismo on Playstation on and off for the past few years. I have just purchased GT7 and have decided to get serious by building my own Sim platform out of timber and have purchased an entry level G29 wheel and pedals to get me started. I have other contacts here in Oz that race GT7 together online on Friday and/or Saturday nights and I want to get involved. For the meantime I am concentrating on practice, getting some cars, licences and some credits to get me up to speed and then maybe upgrading my gear if I feel the need. I came across GTplanet when I searched for a forum on GT7.

Hi new member.

I found out about GT planet when looking up information/news on GT7. I was anticipating the release and wanted to read up on GT7.

I am from New Jersey close to the Jersey Shore

I started playing racing games from an early age. The first racing game I played was Outrun on the Arcade and then Daytona USA and Cruisn USA both on the arcades as well.

No, I don’t play with a steering wheel. I use the controller because that’s what I am familiar with. I want to get a steering wheel but passing for now because it’s expensive.

I enjoy all kinds of games such as shooters, fighting, action, racing and sports.

I wanted to share my experiences about Gran Turismo which is the big reason I joined the Forums. I have been playing since GT3 on PS2 up until now. Currently I am playing GT7 and enjoying it a lot despite the backlash with micro transactions. I want to get some help with some of the races, missions and license tests because they can be quite the challenge.
 
Hi everyone.

I'm from the USA. I've been playing racing games since N64 and Gran Turismo since PS1. I'm on PS4 and PS5.

I'm here to try and find support for Gran Turismo 7. I'm having issues with my liveries not saving into my file or folder so I can share them. I've tried deleting my network temporary files and that didn't work. I've created dozens of liveries but it only shows the 1st 2 I created on March 3rd. I can't seem to be able to find any other support except for tweeting about it but haven't heard anything from them.

Found GTPlanet whilst looking for Tuning specs as the stock specs just aren't enough!

I'm from Los Angeles.

I've been a fan of GT since my PS3 days.

I just picked up a G29 wheel and pedals (no shifter) and I just got my PS5 three days ago.

I only play GT7 for now.

I'm hoping to find some nice 'Friends' to race against!
 
Hi everyone I'm a new member here.
I am a long time Gran Turismo fan, but just joined the forum. I found out GTPlanet while I am googling to adjust my T300RS for GT7. I am hoping to get some information and share experiences with the community.
 
Hi, I've browsed gtplanet for years on and off, I play anything though, Ghost of Tsushima being a recent highlight, I'm terrible at Call of Duty too.

I'm 45 from UK, been playing racing games since Formula 1 and Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge on the Amiga in 1990.

I'm on the Dualsense controller, a wheel would be nice but not very practical with a young family and not much space.
 
Hey all, long time lurker and new sim racing lover here. :)

It wasn't hard to find GTPlanet since most Google queries about different racing sims land up here. And with a good reason, I might add. There's lots of good info to find here.

I've played racing games since forever, but never tried dabbling with sims until I started playing GT Sport and now GT7. It feels like it's a gateway drug because I'm in love with Assetto Corsa Competizione and RaceRoom Racing Experience right now and can't get enough.

I've got a second hand G29 and am absolutely loving the thing. I'm not sure when (and if) I'll be able to invest into a proper DD setup or a proper sim rig (my adjustable standing desk and good office chair will have to suffice for now), but I'm loving it either way, especially when I manage to get all the settings for the wheel just like I love them. The stutter in ACC when I enter the Variant Ascari curve takes me mentally on to the track and it's just sublime.

I have to say that I'm rather bad at this. When I try my hand at online racing, I'm always dead last and I'm having trouble beating AI so that's why I'm working on consistency and learning tracks right now. I'll post about it in the GT7 discussion part to get some feedback on it.

So, that's a little intro on my (rather short) sim racing history, but I'm looking forward on spending many more hours and kilometers on the various tracks and getting bettter each day.
 
  • How did you find GTPlanet? - After spending hours trying to format SVG decals properly for upload :boggled:
  • Where are you from? UK
  • When did you start playing racing games? Started properly I think with NFS Underground and GT3-A Spec
  • Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use? G29 not sure if I like it over a controller, limited space.
  • What other games do you enjoy? Counter Strike
  • What are you most looking forward to doing in the community? Keeping up to date with news and discussions
 
Hi. I'm new in this forum. Greetings...

By the way: anyone knows why I've never got the transition from GTSport? Does it takes SO long? Thank you all

Hello everyone

Like all of you i'm passionate of racing, and myself from the 80'.
I'm coming from Switzerland, and for me one of the best game ever is Gran Turismo. I start the journey with the PS1.

I think some of you know this guy @praiano63, doing this settings. I follow im from a moment, and i know it's here on GT Planet also with good settings, it's also why i'm here. I know GT Planet from internet, ans i'm very happy to join the community.
Enjoy the game, play hard and always a pleasure to cross everyone wanting to play.
 
loooooong time lurker, first time poster (I think).

How did you find GTPlanet? Player since GT1 so I was riding the hype train for GT4..and then we got the internet at work and here I am!

Where are you from? Yorkshire UK.

When did you start playing racing games? Playing seriously GT1 and F1 1996 and as a kid because I’m an old boy digitally Tomytronic and analogue, Scalextric.

Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use? Thrustmaster T300rs . T3PA pro pedals. Playseat rig.

What other games do you enjoy? Battlefield, MS flight , Assassins creed , GTA , TLOU. Anything with a realistic graphics vibe.

What are you most looking forward to doing in the community? Watching it grow with GT7. Take it from a veteran GT player , this game is going to grow and be epic...to be fair I think it is now. Beats Tomytronic!
