Welcome to GTplanet mate, that is a fantastic setup you have there. I hope it benefits you during any of your racing games. Last time I owned a wheel was in 2007(for my ps2).

Hi Manuel, hope you feel comfortable and welcome here, you should check out the threads, some are addicting and interesting. Which game of the Gran Turismo series was your best and favorite?

Hi everyone!

1. I found GT planet on Google when looking for GT7 information.
2. I'm from Northern Ireland.
3. I started playing racing games around 1994 on my aunt's Sega, but got really into it when GT came out on the PS1.
4. I don't play with a racing wheel.
5. I enjoy open-world games and OG platformers such as Crash Bandicoot.
6. I'm looking forward to reading about other players experiences and hopefully getting a few hints and tips!

Hi Chris. Thanks. Yes I already checked the forum. Some really nice contents.

I would say gt7 is my favorite but 1 and 2 remain in a special place in my heart

Welcome man, I was a Crash Bandicoot fan starting in 1998. My first ever game was Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. I do not own a wheel now either. I'm scared to get another one because last time I used it for my ps2, I pressed on the foot pedal so hard my foot started cramping up and I was on pins and needles. I started playing my first racing game in 2002 which was Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit II. It's a cool game where you can enter events and race with the AI or you can run from the cops. There's a mode where you can be the cop and chase down the AI opponents. Enjoy your stay here.

Hi all - brand new member here.

• How did you find GTPlanet?
• I found GTPlanet doing searches online for help on about 5 billion questions I’ve had getting into sim racing
• Where are you from?
• The state of New Jersey in the USA
• When did you start playing racing games?
• So I have played racing games since Night Driver on the Atari 2600 but I was never into sims until recently. They were too intimidating and I was never a huge gearhead like a lot of my friends. Here I am now in my 40s rocking a manual WRX, and waist deep into sims…neck deep incoming. I’m only a year into this at this point.
• Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use?
• I am current using a Fanatec GT DD Pro 8nm base with CSL Load Cell pedals, but hoping to upgrade pedals this BF. I’ve got a ASR 6 rig coming in the next few weeks.
• What other games do you enjoy?
• I’ve always been a huge gamer in general, but honestly sim racing has taken over like 90% of my free time. That said I’m playing Dragon Quest 3 Remake right now and I love it.
• What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?
• Learning. The best part of hobbies and joining a community is all you can learn. Hopefully down the road I can help someone too eventually.

See you in the forums and on the track!

Welcome LtLogan. My first ever racing game was gt3 from 2001, and then the second game was Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. Remember those fun cop chases while racing with some AI. That was also my reason for discovering this site was to meet new people and to learn from the TT masters in the GT games. (Gt7, GT Sport, etc).

So enjoy your stay here mate. And Happy Thanksgiving.

Found the site through Google and reddit because I'm a noob and was looking for tune's for a few cars lol
Cologne, Germany
Started playing racing games when NFS underground 2 came out
I'm playing with controller since Im a casual in terms of racing games bc I mainly play shooters
Looking forward to learn at least something in terms of tuning cars (in-game of course) so one day I maybe can find my own car setting without help 😉

Welcome man, I only visited Belgium only twice in my life and it was back in 2010 and 2012. After I graduated from high school. Have fun racing with all kinds of people from all over the world. Can you add me on your friends list at some point? Thank you.

 

[Tomani02]

Hi everyone, nice to meet you.
I knew about this site's existence since the early 2010's but never made an account until now.
I am from Mexico City, there aren't many Gran Turismo fans over here but we are quite passionate about the game.
It is really difficult for me to pinpoint exactly when I started playing racing games because I've done so since I have consciousness (I am not a fast player though lmao), according to my parents the first video game I played was Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4, but the first game I remember playing was Gran Turismo 4 all the way back in 2005.
I play with steering wheel from time to time although sometimes I like to play with a controller too. I use a Logitech G29. I know, not too fancy but still gets the work done.
I enjoy plenty of other games such as the Persona, Super Mario, Legend Of Zelda, Final Fantasy, Ace Combat, Kingdom Hearts, Super Smash Bros, Metal Gear Solid, Splatoon, F1, Assetto Corsa, Ridge Racer, Yakuza and Sonic series.
I look forward to reading everyone's opinions, keeping up with the most recent Gran Turismo news, and learning not only about Gran Turismo but also about Polyphony Digital since I find the company quite interesting in how they make games compared to other developers.

Hi, I’m Jack from Melbourne, Australia. I’ve been into racing games since Gran Turismo 3 on PS2. I mainly play with a controller, but I’m thinking about getting a steering wheel soon.

Right now, I’m playing Gran Turismo 7 and Assetto Corsa. Excited to join the community, learn from you all, and improve my racing skills
