Hi Everyone,
To answer the questions first I play gt5 on my ps3, and wanted to find out the best settings to use the cars I own.
I am from the state of Washington.
I started playing racing games in 2009.
I do not have the steering wheel so I use a game paddle instead.
I also play Call of Duty games and Guitar Hero games on my ps3.
I look forward to meeting new friends here. Hopefully I can find someone to race with or play ps3 games with.
Thanks for bringing fun times to families all over the world.
STAY SAFE

Hi everyone, here from USA. I found GTplanet while looking for time trial tips and news about Gran Turismo 7. I’ve been a fan of racing games for a long time (going back to Outrun in the arcades when I was a kid) and playing different games (f-zero and top gear on the SNES, need for speed and then gran turismo and forza horizon), games on and off through the years.

I picked up gran turismo 7 on sale a few months ago and it hooked me instantly and made me remember how much I love driving. I decided to get really, really into it and practice a couple hours a day at least, even starting doing online races when the kids go to sleep, working though circuits and missions, licenses, etc. I find it therapeutic and I love the feeling of being focused, thinking ahead to the next corner and visualizing what I need to do.

I played with a controller at first and thought let’s just do this, tried a Logitech g923 at a local retailer and went for a Logitech g-pro and pro pedals eventually.

Currently working through a bad Achilles tendonitis on my left foot! I was braking left foot prior to that but now exclusively right-foot braking until my foot heals from recent surgery.

I have a soft spot for JRPGs also. Looking forward to connect with ppl on PSN and drive in lobbies, race, connect on time trials and tips, name there is bigfluffy888

I come from Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany and I started playing racing games with my Atari2600 some decades back. So you see i am some older guy ....

I play with the normal PS4 controller as i do it just as some relaxing and time spending after work, nevertheless am always hunting for better results and improvement .....

Besides TT7 i mostly play FC25 with my son. I hope to fet some new input here to improve my GT7skills ...

Feel free to ask me if you want to know some more ;-)

 

[Imbissbrunto]

Hi everyone,

my name is Malte from Germany, I‘m 33 yo and you might now me as ImbissBrunto in the game (I love making replica liveries there).

I‘ve been visiting GTPlanet for a while now because I consider it a great source for news regarding the game and finally decided to create an account because I want to participate in this community.

I‘m a big fan of cars and motorsports and I’ve been playing racing games for 20 years now and consider GT4 my favorite game of all time.

I‘m playing on a PS4 Pro currently, however I‘m going to upgrade to a PS5 Pro later this year.

Besides GT7 I‘m currently playing the F1 games, The Witcher 3 and Battlefield V. Apart from gaming I also train MMA, I go to the gym and I‘m really into art, design and architecture.

I‘m really looking forward to joining this community and also sharing my liveries here. Thanks!

• How did you find GTPlanet?
  
  I have been reading the site for a while as a lurker just picking up info I was after now & again, but figured it about time I join the forum so I can input rather than just absorb whats already posted, with luck I can be of some help to others, as others poats have been for me over the years.
  
• Where are you from?
  
  Born in Germany, but spent most of my life in the UK in varying locations, I'm currently living in North Wales, a breath of fresh air really after 40 years of city living.
  
  
• When did you start playing racing games?
  
  I started at the beginning with GT on the PS1 & fondly remember saving up funds for the anticipated release of GT2
  
  
• Do you play with a steering wheel? If so, what kind do you use?
  
  No just on the regular controller due to space limitations sadly.
  
  
• What other games do you enjoy?
  
  I don't game as much as I used to, but have always been a huge fan of 1st person shooters & the GTA series, I dread to think of the hours I've spent on the OG Doom games.
  
  
• What are you most looking forward to doing in the community?
  
  Learning & sharing

Hey everyone!
Im 902KARTOGRAPHY I have been playing GT since Day One way back in the day; many racing games have come and gone but Gran Turismo has been the trusty constant in my gaming life. Im a car photographer and with the advent of in-game photography if Im not racing Im usually found in SCAPES. I recently made the conversion from racing on Controller to getting my first Steering Wheel [Thrustmaster T80] and have thoroughly been enjoying it I am already looking at what to replace it with.
Add me on PSN if you wanna have some fun cruises or race. Im not Pro tier in any means of racing but I enjoy just cruising and can handle my own if need be.

[If you add me drop a message to let me know you're from GTP as I have a list for people on GT7]
