Hey all. I’ve been playing GT since GT4, and now ready to jump back in with GT7. Finally bought a seat rig too, can’t wait to get it all set up and fitted. Hope to see y’all on the track! ~ Chuck
 
hello all! my name is Ian and i'm a university student from Mexico.

i've been playing racing games and loving cars ever since i was a child. i've been lurking the forums for a while now but i think it's time i make a couple of posts.

i currently do a bit of league racing on the F1 games, and i've been trying to get more into sim racing in general. currently i just have an Xbox Series S and a Logitech G920, but it'll do for now.

my favorite game of all time is Forza Horizon 1. it shaped both my later parts of my childhood and my music taste, and i don't think there'll be a Horizon game as special as 1. my other favorite series include Halo, GTA, Gran Turismo and Wipeout.

when i'm not racing or at uni, i occasionally do art and graphic design, as well as a few DJ sets here and there. i'm an avid music fan and i love pretty much everything, but if i had to pick one favorite genre it would be electronic music. some of my favorite artists are Madeon, Porter Robinson, Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, Pendulum, The Prodigy, Burial, Aphex Twin, The 1975, Tame Impala, Kendrick Lamar, Denzel Curry and SOPHIE.

Hi everybody

Just wanted to say Hello!

My good friend point me to that site, when I was back to GT. Excellent tip.

I'm from Poland and play the racing games since I remember, but the first serious one for me was Collin McRae on PS1 if I remember well. Then there were dozens of others until - another milestone for me - GT5. After this I quit gaming/racing for a long (too long) time and just few weeks ago got back with GT7. The love ignited again and however I'm quite old and wife tells me that the older the less mature, I love it and that's it.
I play with controller and i'm here for knowledge and news.

regards

Hi Miguel. The only shooter games I had with when I was 11-12 years old was Metal Gear, Syphon filter and Call of Duty. How much do those Fanatec wheels cost because I'm thinking about investing in one to help me corner,brake and steer better w/o sliding the car.

Hi I'm Freddy and I love to play racing games cars-motos...but also other games such as fighting & war games eg:Mortal Kombat,Medal of Honor...I live in Belgium and have been playing racing-rally games for a long time and have the love for racing games found in Ridge Racer so long time ago i stumbled upon your site by chance because i have a problem with my gt7 game and i already searched the websites of playstation.be-playstation.com-playstation.store but couldn't find nothing there now i have started GT7 bought on the internet at PlayStation.com the 25th anniversary version so no disc i have been playing GT7 since January this year and have already achieved a lot i think of myself and wanted to buy a new car , it became the Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo I tuned it completely and wanted to race but that's where it went wrong the car is uncontrollable in the 3 seconds before departure it already goes wrong he immediately turns to the left in the pre-movie until he hits something collides then it starts driving backwards and forwards and in the preview you can't drive the car so I can't race it, hopefully you can help me solve that problem or do you know who I should be with for my complaint.
Best regards,

Hi all,

Just joined the site as just getting into racing games.
I've always been into gaming but never really loved racing games, they were OK, but GT7 on the PS5 with PS-VR2 made me sit up and say 'I love this'.
So started to buy some racers on Steam for my PC, which I happen to also have VR on (Pimax 5k Super) and I'm blown away by AC, ACC etc.
  • How did you find GTPlanet? - Just popped up on my phone, no doubt as I've been searching for wheels, pedals, cockpits etc... haha

Hello everyone,

I am from Cornwall, Ontario, Canada where i work as a parts advisor at Nissan. I've been working in automotive for the last twenty years and I can honestly say that I eat, breath and sleep cars.

I found GTPlanet about a month ago while searching google for help tuning cars in GT7.

I've been a gamer since back in the day when I was lucky enough to get a NES the year they came out. My love affair with racing games really started with the first Gran Turismo. That game was truly a life changing event.

For the last couple of years I've been mostly playing the Forza games and I am looking forward to the new Forza Motorsports game to come out. With Covid 19 it's been almost impossible to buy a PS5 here in Canada but I finally got one in February and I've been addicted to GT7 since.

I am currently playing on a Logitech G923 wheel and a Next Level Racing GT lite cockpit.
 
Hello!
My name is Mateusz.

How did you find GTPlanet?
Searching news about GT7 updates, tunes for the cars etc.

Where are you from?
Poland

When did you start playing racing games?
About 16 years ago is my best estimate.
I have started by playing Colin McRae Rally 2 with my father on keyboard which was quite a lot of fun.
Then I got into the Live for Speed, got a Logitech DFP some time into it, but funnily enough was never able to match my pace from keyboard.

Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use?
I do on the PC while playing ACC or Project Cars, owning a Logitech G29 currently.
However I do enjoy a GT7 a lot with a controller on my sofa.

What other games do you enjoy?
League of Legends, Witcher, platformers like Crash Bandicoot, coops like It Takes Two or Overcooked

What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?
Improving driving and tuning skills, enjoy speculating about future updates to the games

Hello,
I found GTPlanet through the recommendation of a commisioner of a racing league I am waiting for an opening in. I am from the United States. I have been playing racing games since the arcade game "Pole Position" and playing Gran Turismo since its inception. I play with a hand held controller. I also play a few first person shooters and sports games. I am looking forward to finding racing leagues to participate in.

Hi Jordan
I found gt planet when I first introduced into Gran Turismo games before one or two years maybe and I love racing games and I am a emulator that's how I get to know the ps2 hit gt4 btw I born that same year 2004 and I am playing in a mobile mainly I love cars and racing and everything Nice meeting you everyone and Glad to be a member of gt planet Thank you
 
I have already introduced myself and had a few questions but that was not the intention I was told and also that I had to look up a few things myself on you-tube now my question is what is the purpose of a forum I thought it served to help people okay you also helped me with very good info because I was already panicking that my car was not running and immediately thought of an error in the game but that was not the case I had adjusted it incorrectly.

I'm not following the nature of your question.

The purpose of forums is to discuss. GTPlanet hosts many different subforums for the purposes of discussing many different subjects - from Gran Turismo to other racing games, other games, cars, and more general topics. Each subforum has mutliple different threads, for discussing various aspects of the topic; these are generally defined by the title of the thread or the first post. This thread, for example, is only for new members to introduce themselves, as the title and first post make clear.

Your thread about your car in Gran Turismo 7 being unable to turn (which turned out to be that you couldn't turn it due to running it too low, rather than that you had no ability to steer due to a bug) was about that, and in that game. As that was apparently solved I'm not sure why it's still something you're talking about in other, unrelated threads in unrelated forums.
 
Hi All, I'm new to the GT7 tuning community but I love building track beasts. I just posted my first tune, please take try it out, you won't be disappointed. It's a Boss 429 tune.
  • How did you find GTPlanet? Google search
  • Where are you from? US
  • When did you start playing racing games? PS1, Need For Speed original. From that moment on, it was a done deal.
  • Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use? No wheel... yet.
  • What other games do you enjoy? Hogwarts Legacy, Ratchet and Clank but its pretty much all GT7 at this point
  • What are you most looking forward to doing in the community? Post tunes, collaborate with other tuners on builds ect. Looking forward to being a part of the community.

Hello everyone, I'm Italian and my name is Roberto, known as Morilec on the web, the forum is already famous by itself and I've known it for some time, but with the new GT7 update I'm having some problems and I need to ask for some advice. I've been playing GT steadily since the fifth chapter, but I was already playing bear games on the PS1, I remember Formula 1 and several arcade racings. From the seventh chapter I finally play with a steering wheel, a Fanatec DD Pro 8N
