Hello, and welcome to this thread. Looking for a place to cruise, participate in track days, and themed cruises in a relaxed environment? This may be a good fit for you.
What is cruising?
Good question! A cruise is supposed to be a relaxing drive at a set speed. Most of the time, cruise lobbies will have a set speed limit, and police officers to enforce it. Most cruise lobbies are set up on city courses, or courses with road markings (Cote de Azure and La Sarthe are two very good examples).
While cruising, you can play it safe and remain a civilian; cruising at the speed limit and enjoying the surroundings. You can speed through the streets as a racer, looking for the thrill of being chased by the law enforcement who don't take kindly to the disturbance of the peace you're creating. Finally, you can become a police officer, looking to keep the roads safe from people who are driving dangerously, and giving chase to those who attempt to evade you.
There is no commitment, either, you can go from being a police officer to a racer with no repercussions, just jump out of your police car, and into a car of your choice that isn't sporting police markings (Detailed below).
What is a Track Day?
Good question! A track day is a very simple event. No speed limits, no police officers, no restrictions. Just cars on a track. There are a few simple rules at a track day:
1: Respect other drivers. Don't start drifting if you see someone hotlapping is about to take the same turn. Give them the driving line.
2: Let the faster car pass. Don't block someone. This isn't a race. If you're driving along in your 60's Beetle, that's fine, you're more than welcome to. But let the guy in the 700pp race car pass. Don't attempt to hold them up in any way.
3: Try your best not to make contact with anyone. If you do make contact, it is common courtesy to apologize, and allow them to retake their position in front of you.
4: Should you come off the track, anyone on the track has right-of-way. Only enter the track when you can safely do so without slowing anyone down.
Other than those simple rules, anything goes. Use the track for whatever you desire. Drift around it, try to beat the best lap, tune your cars, or whatever else you please.
What is a themed cruise?
Good question! A themed cruise is exactly what it sounds like: A cruise with a theme. These are most of the time a little more regulated than a cruise, and do not feature police officers.
Here is a good example of a themed cruise:
The host calls for the cruise to start. They give a theme, and the speed that you'll be cruising at (Example: Supercars, 65mph). Everyone gets a car that fits in with the theme, and meet up at a specific point that the host will call out (Example, the start/finish line). The host leads, everyone follows in a neat and orderly manner (Single file, two wide, three wide, etc. Host's choice). You cruise until the host stops, or until you no longer wish to cruise.
The rules for a themed cruise are simple:
1: No contact. At all. Be very careful.
2: Never exceed the speed limit by more than 2 mph (Only if you need to go slightly faster in order to get in formation again) during the cruise.
What are the rules?
Good question! You'll find them in the spoiler tag below.
1: Respect everyone.
2: Use common sense. If it feels like something that wouldn't be allowed, then don't do it.
3: Civilians need to move out of the way for police officers that are obviously chasing someone. If someone speeds by you, then a cop car is rapidly approaching, move.
4: Police officers should honk their horn to alert someone that they're being pulled over.
5: Don't ram civilians, no matter who you are.
6: A racer is considered busted when they drop to a speed below 10mph, and a police officer is there to witness it. Please do not attempt to keep running after you go below 10mph.
7: If a racer is caught 3 times, they must change cars.
8: When a police officer busts someone, they must say: *PSN ID of racer* *Number of times busted*/3 *Name of car*
9: Race cars are allowed only on Track Days.
10: If someone is causing drama, report them, and ignore them. Do not reply to them. The Gtplanet staff will take care of it.
11: Remember this: To ensure you read all the rules, mention the fact that you love the smell of red roses in your application. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, just to make sure you actually clicked this spoiler and read the rules.

Frequently Asked Questions:
With the large amount of variation between the VGT cars, I cannot guarantee all of them will be allowed in cruise lobbies. As of 6/28/15, the only VGTs banned from cruise lobbies is the Chaparral VGT, simply because the technology used to propel it is not realistic enough to be found on the roads, all the racing VGTs, and the Tomahawk VGTs (Until further notice on the base model one).
However, in Track Day lobbies, anything and everything is allowed.
However, in Track Day lobbies, anything and everything is allowed.
PM me with the offenders PSN id, what they did wrong, and preferably some proof. If no proof is available, add witnesses to the conversation, and I will contact the offender via PM with the accusations, and get their side of the story.
Yes, PM me with why you feel you deserve a second chance, and you will be allowed ONE chance. You can join one more lobby. If you behave according to the rules, you will be allowed back in*.
*If an appeal is granted is up to the discretion of me and any co-owners I have. No guarantees your ban will be appealed.

In Closing:
Remember: Always follow the AUP and the rules, and have fun! I hope to be seeing you in our lobbies soon!
This club is still growing, so the rules are liable to change at any time, and additions are almost guaranteed to be made. I will post when the OP has been updated, please reread it when I do, as something important may have been added. If you have a suggestion, send me a PM, don't be shy!
