Kind of a long-time lurker but I finally decided to join last month. I heard of this place through my Google news feeds whenever an update came around.

Been playing since GT2. Also have kind of dabbled in Need for Speed. I would consider myself just a casual gamer. Mostly Mortal Kombat, GTA and some Call of Duty.

I play controller. Id like to have a wheel but I don't have the cash and with my GF and I having three dogs and two cats - good luck

Originally from Philadelphia, now living in Houston.
USAF 1990 - 2012. Heavy Equipment Mechanic.
Just looking to chat with other people and have some fun.

How did you find GTPlanet? I knew if it being here from years ago. Finally decided to join.

Where are you from? I am from New Zealand

When did you start playing racing games? Probably in the very early 90s on the Sega master system. Grand Prix was the first game I played. Man, has game tech come a long way since then.

Do you play with a steering wheel? Mainly a controller gamer, but sometimes I break out the wheel. I have a basic Thrustmaster

What other games do you enjoy? I love TrackMania. Play it about as much as I play GT7. Also jam Diablo 3 and 4 a bit, and I love indie games of any genre.

What are you most looking forward to doing in the community? Chatting with other racers about their gaming etc.

Hi I'm Johnny I'm from the USA. I saw that GTPlanet posted about the weekly races in GT7. I'm a big Grand Turismo fan since 1997 and if the game doesn't have a car that I can drive in it I'm not a fan of it. Car's have kinda been it for me. I'm looking to meet some great people and have a great time.

Hi I've found my way to the side through the new Update 1.49 (E36 coming!!).

Not new to the series, staying loyal to my beloved Controller (Im to poor for a sim rig) since first joining the series as a child in 2002.

I love forums and I don't know why Im here so late. Seems to be a great community and also a lot of the fast grid drivers are here, good to see!

Im 30, from Germany NRW. C Driver Rating, S for Safety. But I could be further up the grid I guess.. :D Most favourite car in GT7: Amuse NISMO 380RS Super Leggera. Love the sound and driving capability of it.
Favourite Tracks: Nordschleife, Barcelona, Lago Maggiore, Watkins Glen, Tsukuba, Trial Mountain and Tokyo Route R246 (best track to miss in the late GT games).

Looking forward to improve my driving skills and get more into exchange with the community. Currently missing 27% of the cars. So also have to improve there.

See ya all and have a great day/week fellas <3
