mattgil33 · Dec 29, 2022

New member, grew up playing GT on original Playstation and spent far too much time on GT2 that summer, haven't played much real racing since then only casually. Saw reviews of GT7 and had too much nostalgia not to jump back in and get a PS5 and get racing. Currently still figuring out my setup, just using a controller on the couch now but I have some things on the way.

How did you find GTPlanet?
- Google search for finding GT7 beginner leagues
Where are you from?
- CT, USA
When did you start playing racing games?
- My first racing game was later in the life of the original GT, I soon after got GT2 and really spent a lot of time on that
Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use?
- Ordered a G29, should get here today. Have never played with any kind of real wheel or setup, excited to try it out for real
What other games do you enjoy?
- Most other sports games with friends, PGA2K, Madden, mainly
What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?
- Looking to find a place to talk about sim racing and finding a league or group I can race with online

ciao a tutti, sono Walter
Ho trovato gplanet tramite google, leggendo recensioni sui volanti directdrive.
Vi scrivo dall'Italia, Torino.
la mia passione per i giochi di corse è appena iniziata, non sono molto bravo a guidare, sto imparando.
Mi piace giocare a eurotruck simulator 2.
ma ho intenzione di provare tutti i giochi di corse e di guida più popolari.
Ho comprato un mese fa il nuovo Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel, versione xbox. Lo uso su un pc con ryzen 5900 e trx 3090.
Spero di trovare molte discussioni e informazioni sul mio volante Logitech PRO in futuro e consigli su come impostare l'FFB per molti giochi

Hello everyone.

I came upon GTPlanet, while researching Gran Turismo 7.

I'm from Canada.

Started playing Gran Turismo, back in the days of the PS2.

I play the game/games using a controller although one day I intend to buy a steering wheel.

Other games I enjoy playing are military oriented/flight.

At this point it's hard to say what I'm most looking forward to in the community, but I must say I really like what I see.

Thanks for having me,

LjDes

Good afternoon everyone!! Hope everyone is doing well heading into the new year!!!

I found GTP through a Google search looking for GT7 leagues!!
I am currently in Va, US.
I have played racing games for a while but am looking for clean racing since open lobbies are just full of destruction and the shadow realm.
I do have a wheel and it’s a fanatic podium.
I like all kind of games so I’ll give anyone a try.
It might be too specific, but I am looking for a US GT7 league that takes place in the evenings. Also steel sharpens steel so if I can help with anything I will.

Thank you for the community and reading the longest post I will probably ever post😂😂

Welcome! I started my adventure with Gran Turismo with GT4, for which I specifically bought a PS2. After the purchase I was heartbroken, but it was stupid to admit my mistake. After two weeks of learning to drive Gran Turismo, I finally liked it and have played all parts since then.

Once Gran Turismo allowed me to save a lot of money. I entered a highway entrance too fast. You know, the kind of long winding one with barriers. I knew it was too fast, I braked for a while and let go of the brake and thus I fit, although I had centimeters to the barriers. If I hadn't practiced letting go of the brake even though I was going too fast in a curve I wouldn't have made it, and letting go of the brake when you're going too fast is against natural reflexes and needs to be learned, it turns out that you can learn to do this in the game, even playing on a gamepad.

It works the other way, too. Learning how to drive slalom in real training on the track, helped me in many tests in GT

I hope this was interesting and you will forgive me for helping myself with the translator.

As we say in my country: "wide road".

Fozzie · Dec 31, 2022

25 years I have been playing Gran Turismo! Yes, I'm a dinosaur. So, a little late to the GTPlanet party, but I've been secretly reading your articles for years. With GT7 igniting the sparkplugs again this year, I'm ready for a great start to 2023.

13thirtyone · Jan 6, 2023

Hello from Indonesia.

Long time fan of racing games all the way through the first Gran Turismo.
First time racing sim (Fanatex DD Pro) in GT7 though - thumb stick was the RULE!!! before

I used to play a lot (A LOT) of WoW and FF XIV but semi-retired now as I don't have much time as I used to. Love all story-based AAA games from Playstation Studios - GoW Ragnarok, TLOU, Uncharted, Spiderman (also Miles Morales), Horizon series, etc

I hope I can be better in setting up car tuning and also looking forward to racing online with the other members here as well.

Cheers!

lilmonix3m · Jan 6, 2023

Good evening!
I found gtplanet while looking settings for Castrol Tom's Supra and Subaru Impreza.
I'm from Ukraine
I started racing when I was 6 years old. This was in 2014. I love cars so much, and then my dad gave me a PS3 with a GT6 game. I still play it, but I started playing seriously recently.
I'm using a PS3 Thrustmaster Ferrari GT steering wheel.
So far I've only played GT6 and GT3, but I plan to play other racing games later.
Find friends and read a lot of interesting things.

YoungJooFly · Jan 8, 2023

Hello,

- I found GTplanet looking on Google and YouTube for settings for cars in Gran Turismo 7.

- I come from France.

- I don’t really know, but I think about Gran Turismo on PlayStation, or some other car game, but what’s on is that I was young.

- I play mainly the controller, but also sometimes what is really very rare (see never) at the wheel. And the steering wheel is a Thrustmaster T80.

- I also like the games of the Assassin’s Creed saga, the Gran Theft Auto series and many others...

- To be honest, I don’t really know, I just signed up to thank the people who post their settings and then use them.

Nico888Toc · Jan 9, 2023

I started playing racing games 35 years ago.
I play with a controller.
I like adventure games, like Ray-Man.
I would like to be able to talk to members about car settings, races, etc.

Soon,
Nico

PS : my english is so-so...

ErmineaGaming · Jan 9, 2023

Hi all,

I ended up register to forum after I realize how much missing from the GT7 Custom Races options and I needed to open my heart. I have follow GTPlanet news since buying GT7.

Im from Finland and I have been playing racing games since late 90's. I grow up with GT and Need for Speed games with along some other sport titles.

I have always played with controller, but I will buy myself chair and wheel when I'm under 100kg (still 27 to go!). I enjoy racing, sport and open-world games, but I always play solo offline. Last game I finished was Stray (I highly recommend that), current playing GT7 and Guardians of the Galaxy. All time favorite games are NFS Underground 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Thanks for having me!

Nyati_Jumapil · Jan 10, 2023

-I found GTPlanet after searching everything GT7
-From Los Angeles
-First racing game I remember loving was Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off Road
-Wheel coming for my birthday. Not 100% which one yet
-I actually still really enjoy GTA 5. Especially racing and track building

Hi yall!

Golden Boy · Jan 10, 2023

Hello everyone I heard about this site from one person. I've been playing racing since I was a kid. I play on the controller. My favorite Games Are Resident evil, silent hill and of course GT.I am 16 years old and I want to find friends with whom I will discuss motorsport . So write!)

iamthagame · Jan 11, 2023

I found it searching to see if there was a limited number of designs gt7 allows. I'm from the U.S, been playing racing games since Mario kart lol, not much into racing on GT I enjoy the game for it's design and creative side,, I play almost every racing game available you name it I own it lol. I love all ea sports games , my favorite game is call of duty though. Most looking forward to meeting new gt7 gamers possibly viewing their work sharing ideas etc .

Rolyatnnelg83 · Jan 11, 2023

Hi all, found the site whilst searching for ways to complete some of the missions on gt7 ( was getting very frustrated and still am) from the uk, playing on and off for 25 years (big gap between starting as a teenager and kids coming along) still using the controller, would like to try with a wheel at some point. Occasionally play a bit of pga and fifa

JadedPencil · Jan 11, 2023

Howdy how, everyone, hope you're all having a good day!

I was recommended this site as a nice community to talk about racing games, cars, and car culture in general. I'm from Virginia in the United States. Started playing racing games when I was 5 or 6 with the OG Gran Turismo, Driver, and NFS 3:Hot Pursuit. Sort of went without video games for a while but I was brought back into it.

Atm I don't use a wheel, though I'd like to give it a shot at some point. Being able to practice my manual driving without worrying about damaging anything or getting in an accident is a nice prospect. At the moment, I'm also enjoying Forza Horizon 5, as well as smaller indie games, and occasionally some Escape from Tarkov. As for this community, I look forward to talking about some of my favorite cars (Subaru anyone haha), talking about detailing and sharing car pics and artwork.
