Anybody play GT5?
 

Along with driving my FR-S, sim racing is one of my favorite things to do in my spare time. I was just playing Gran Turismo 5 and it dawned on me, I wonder if anyone on the forums would want to race? So I had this idea, why not open a server on GT5 for forum members to come in and race each other?

I've actually done quite a few of FT86 rooms recently and the results have been pretty awesome. The concept, GT86, FR-S and BR-Z were all allowed and we have had some epic battles for hours on end, its actually the most fun I've had on any GT5 server. Ultimately though, it does turn into a 'tuner war' and all the good times come to an end when the 'aliens' show up and put everyone to shame.

So just now, as I was playing in 'one-make' test race with a bone stock FR-S, I thought to myself 'if only I could find some guys who would actually want to race purely stock cars, no tune, and with street tires, I wouldn't have to beat up on these dang AI cars all the time (because that does get old pretty fast). Online racing is so much better when its a drivers race anyway.

So who's down?
Bone stock FR-S, street tires, no tunes, on GT5.

It's a very rainy day in Rockford, and I need something to do before the Hawks game tonight. Let's race!

My psn handle is SpaceRace2012, send me a friend request and find me in the lobby, I'll be on the track :o)

I'll join you when GT6 comes out. I don't have GT5.

not a bad idea is the brz allowed

No, they're too slow against the frs.

Brz is definitely allowed :o)

he didnt list them and i believe the host can control what cars can be entered.

Technically the regulations are set for FR drivetrain 197hp 1230kg vehicles with sport hard tires and tuning prohibited.

If it fits, it ships.

Joke went over your head.

Anyway, I'd play but my PS3 is bricked cuz of the new update. :iono:

lol, I see what you did there :laughabove:

Eh, that sucks. Well as soon as you get that fixed up let me know. Im always looking for racing buddies.

Im going out for lunch and supplies. Gonna leave the server open if anyone wants to dabble. Or just pm me if your interested in racing at another time. Like I said, sim racing is a hobby of mine and I think it'd be really cool to have an ft86club race every now and then just for kicks.

Should be back in about an hour.

I'll be signing on right now. I'll add you. My PSN is very INITIAL D haha.

Forza>Gran Turismo
But i have both so im down..lol..well after work

I have it... but i won't be home till monday afternoon to play

Never played forza but I hear good things. I've been loyal to GT for the last 15 years, so far so good lol. yeah just look me up and send a request.

Also in the request message write your forum handle so I know who's who and we can organize some things for later on down the road.

Look me up! I work 2nd shift so my Monday afternoons are actually pretty wide open.

Will do... add me in the mean time...

Psn is Luis_GTR


My originality amazes me sometimes :bellyroll:

Indeed haha! Me and my buddy were just talking about how I used to collect initial D boot legs back in high school. I think I'll go watch some before the nationwide race starts. Its been YEARS! :happy0180:

Sent!

you don't want me to join you. I race dirty. :(

Yeah clean racing is preferred lol Hard contact and course cutting penalties would be enforced too so it wouldn't really do you much good. No fun in dirty wins anyway...

I'd be interested if I can get some free time. PSN is the same as my username here.

it is if you're trying to troll people. or playing that old Demolition Derby game. :D or trying to play while drunk

Ok, I'll send you a request after the Hawks game.

I don't have GT5, but I'd live to crash you into a wall @160+ mph in NFS MW! See ya sissies!

LOL

So I finally looked up trolling in the urban dictionary:

Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can.
Guy: "I just found the coolest ninja pencil in existence."
Other Guy: "I just found the most retarded thread in existence."

NOOOOW I get it! So that's what people do for fun these days...hmph

I usually only troll people when i'm drunk, or had a really bad day at work

Ummmmm not trolling... My reply It was an invite...to anyone...because I don't have GT5! If I did, I'd join you! Man up a little will ya!:party0030:

cool idea my psn is KiLL3t-iT
