Great name you chose and welcome to this awesome website. You will find a lot of good and attracting threads to post on. I'm Chris btw. Are you a gt7 fan? If so, what brand of cars do you like in the game?

I found GTPlanet by trying to find out how many people completed all gold on the Nurburgring circuit experience on gt7

I'm from the U.S.

Started playing racing games when I was around 4

I sometimes use a wheel

I play a bit of everything

I'm curious to see how my skills stack up with others.

Hi! I found GTPlanet trying to tune mi cars in Gran Turismo 4 when i'm was a teen. I'm back!
I'm from México
I'm started play racing games since 2001, i leave this world on 2017 but i'm back
I play in a Logitech G29
I enjoy Need For Speed and Project Cars
I'm looking for share experiences and win more experience, i'm like a baby again in this world
 
Howdy. I've been lurking this site for over 20 years. Been a fanatic since GT1. Nürburgring enjoyer. I love the slow/quirky cars just as much as anything else in the game and always welcome more (yes I'm talking about the new van :)).

Sup guise!?
I came here to download the GT4 Texture mod to use on my Android emulator.

I finished GT3 and 4 on my PlayStation 2, I own a PlayStation 3. I'm playing GT4 Spec II.

I'm interested in playing old games because modern games are woke trash.
I also would like to warn you that once they discover we are hiding in the old games, they will try to take it away from us too!

Have a good weekend and congratulations for the site.

Hey there, only recently did I find out how in-depth a game GT3 was. I've played a bit in the past but struggled. Slowly learning how to adjust the cars to perform better. I feel very much the opposite of the guy above me. I just like old games and stuff that has a high skill ceiling.

How did you find GTPlanet?
Looking up more info on tuning for GT3.

Where are you from?
Midwest United States.

When did you start playing racing games?
Dad played a lot of Racing games when I was young. Video games because a major activity for me, only got more interested in GT as an adult though. Played Crash Team Racing and Midnight Club as a kid though.

Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use?
I own one but it's the old PS2/3 Driving Force GT. Works fine on PC,PS2 or PS3 for someone not as heavily invested in racing sims like me.

What other games do you enjoy?


Less realistic racing titles like Sega Rally, Sonic and All Stars Racing, Midnight Club 3.

Fighting games, More so the anime style ones and 3D fighters.

RPGs like Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Lunar.

Horror games like Illbleed, Silent Hill and Classic Resident Evil.

Boomer Shooters like Doom, Quake, Blood or Dusk.

The Tony Hawk and Twisted Metal games.


What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?
Just learning more about Classic GT. Primarily 3 as that is the one I am currently playing.
 
Hi everyone,

I'm thrilled to be here !

  • How did you find GTPlanet? - I can't remember, it was a long time ago.
  • Where are you from? - France
  • When did you start playing racing games? - I began playing with GT3
  • Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use? - I have t300 + th8a + T3PA on a playseat, but I would like to upgrade to a dd!
  • What other games do you enjoy? - Jak And Daxter, RDR, TLOU, Dirt
  • What are you most looking forward to doing in the community? - share cool pics and make friends
 
Hello everyone! The name's Latergator. 🐊

I have heard of GTPlant for a few years now but never really looked into it until I found out it has forms a week ago lol.

I'm from Australia. Saying hello to my fellow Aussies here. 🇦🇺

I remember playing Mario Kart DS and NFS Most wanted when I was around 5.

I have a steering wheel but it's one of those real cheap ones but I prefer to just have my PS4 controller as a steering wheel in GT7.

I love playing Pikmin, Pokemon, Sonic, any RPG, rhythm games, Indie games and many more!

I'm most looking forward to do some online races with other like minded people! I mostly play GT7 and if you also like Super GT, LMP1/Le Mans or Gr.3 please hit me up. I especially love to do some Gr.1 race or even a series!

Same! I love the quirky and slow cars in the GT series. I remember I used to drive the slowest car in GT6 and pick the deepest hill in the game. It was funny every time the CPU cars get stuck on the hill with their slow cars as well. 🤣

I found it looking for car builds, I took a few from here. Really top quality builds, way better than I could do.
I'm from the west Coast of Ireland.
Im 42 I started gaming on Nes. I got Gt 1 the day it came out and everyone since. I play a bit of ride 5 too.
I've got the g29 and use VR.
What I'm here for is fairly relaxed competition I don't like nerding out on car stats and all that, a bit of banter is always good.
Lads id appreciate some direction in joining some Irish/British rooms. Hit me up psn is clathekid Tia.

Welcome, I like that nickname you chose for this site. Hey, I remember some of the old Twisted Metal games I had on my first ever ps1 console, I played for a total of 8-9 years, and Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Jak and other popular titles. I miss the old era of gaming.
 
Hello all!
I found GT planet through various web searches and have scrolled through forums before, and am just now signing up.
I reside in the US, and have been playing racing games since PS1 ( Gran Turismo and Ridge Racer anyone?) I have an entry level Logitech 29 wheel and pedal set, along with an “Amazon Playseat”. I will definitely be upgrading down the road, since I do consider this a serious, yet fun hobby.
I don’t play many other games, as time is limited with husband and dad duties (Well, perhaps some Fallout and RDR2 from time to time).
I’m looking forward to connecting with other members and possibly other veterans to talk with, race together, and work on improving our race craft in a respectful racing environment.
The daily races frustrate me to no end, as divebombs, pit maneuvers, and aggressive bumper cars seem to be the norm.
Im looking forward to hopefully meeting some other like minded sim racers and speeding toward the checkered flag neck to neck! 🏁

Well hey man, I'm Chris. I came here three years ago to connect with people, to get help and talk about other off-topic things not related to GTplanet. That's what life is about. Yeah, some of the daily races I encounter are a pain in the butt. You don't know who you're racing against, they could be nice or mean. It's like a roll of the dice, unpredictable. So, you own a wheel too? I'm a controller user, a long time one.

Hey Chris! Hope you're well! It does seem like this is a good group of people to chat with. I used a controller for a long time myself, but never really felt like I was any good with it. I’ve heard that some of the fastest people out there are controller users and that blows my mind lol

Hi!!

I think i found gtplanet when i was trying to find answers related to Gran Turismo. I'm from Indonesia by the way and i started playing racing games way back then in 2007 ig? I mostly play games using keyboard and dualshock controllers and the games i play could vary from Gran Turismo 3, NFS Blackbox series, even Roblox. I think i'll look forward to discover more things that i had no idea about Gran Turismo or the irl car scene from around the world haha.
