Greetings from the California Central Coast!
Hello GTPlanet!
I'm excited to join this fantastic community of car enthusiasts and sim racing fans. My name is Mr. Wimmer, and cars have been a big part of our life journey, both professionally and personally.
By day, I own WIMMER'S AUTOMOTIVE, a family operated auto repair shop with roots dating back to 1964. Beyond the shop, I’m also proud to serve as the automotive instructor at Morro Bay High School, where I help the next generation of gearheads learn the ropes of car repair and maintenance. Sharing my passion for cars with students has been one of the most rewarding experiences.
On the weekends, I love getting behind the wheel, racing Miatas and other sports cars. Rally racing and 4x4 trips—like tackling the Rubicon Trail—are also big passions of mine. Whether it’s hugging corners on a track or navigating rugged trails, the thrill of driving always keeps me coming back for more.
Sim racing is another huge part of my life, and I race with a motion sim that brings the track to life. Recently, I’ve been able to share this passion with my 7-year-old son. Together, we built his first racing sim rig for GT7, and watching him dive into the world of racing has been a real highlight.
When we’re not racing or wrenching, you’ll likely find us enjoying family time or supporting local businesses. Looking forward to connecting with fellow car lovers, exchanging ideas, and diving into all the great discussions here. If you’re in the Central Coast area and share a love for cars, hit us up—we’d love to connect!
Cheers!

took a long break from games and started getting back into them the last few months. Started playing GT V and just stumbled upon these threads. If anybody is still playing it let me know lots of strategies for cars and completing the events.
