In my spare time I do a little gaming on Gran Turismo. Thought I'd see if people on here would be interested in joining a lobby and maybe forming a monthly or bi-weekly lobby and subsequent racing league of some kind?
Let me know!

BRAKE! wroteYes, will do!Hey if this ever catches traction, let me know!
jga2022 wroteI will - I am keen to do it!Keep me posted :-)
Did you guys see that GT7 will officially be PSVR2 compatible come next month? I can't wait!
DeezBluBallz wroteEpic. I'll maybe sort something out over the next few weeks.I'm interested. let me know

EatThatLunchBaby wroteI'm running the same set upI’d join in for sure but I’m super new to the game. Just ordered a cheap sim rig with the Logitech g923. Looking forward to learning the basics on the PS5 before I commit to anything on my PC
I have all the driver assist settings off except weak ABS. I’m not used to driving a manual but it’s been a lot of fun to work on lap times.
Any track recommendations that I should learn and stick to? I think my 991 GT3 RS road car is my favorite to driver fast. The E46 M3 is awesome but holy shit it’s hard to keep straight under acceleration.
Either way, I’m having so much fun learning the basics!
EatThatLunchBaby wroteHey the easiest way to actually learn is to watch the fastest laps of the online daily races and try to copy their lines and braking points. You can also do this for the racing school challenges - click on the demonstration lap before you do the lap and you'll learn a lot by just watching.I finally got the chance to break in the new setup and holy cow, I’m much worse than I thought haha

Then, if you want to go a step further, load up the ghost replay of the fast laps and then do the same lap and see if you can beat the ghost.
One assist I use is the apex points - where you have those yellow balloon-like markers - that signify where the apex of the corner is.
Lastly, many of the track driving basics are applicable
1) Vision - look as far out as possible. Don't worry about what's going on in front of your car. By the time you're braking and going into a corner, your eyes should be staring at the next corner. By driving further with your eyes, you can anticipate what you need to do before you have to. It helps you intuitively place the car in the right line.
2) Braking - brake in a straight line and do it earlier than you think you need too. Slow in and fast out is what creates fast laps
3) Use the entire track - the fastest way around the corner is the draw out the straightest looking lines with the least amount of angle. This is best accomplished when you use the entire width of the track.
Best of luck! It's addicting.

BRAKE! wroteThese are excellent tips!! Particularly about watching the lines of the Ghost replays. I've learnt a lot that way.

EatThatLunchBaby wroteGuys. I'm looking to arrange a lobby this weekend. Are you available?
What time zones are we in?
I can get a discord set up
Also, thanks for all the tips! I’m getting faster with the paddles but I’m still trash with the manual shifter haha I always downshift too quickly and spin out. I guess that’s what I get for growing up driving Toyota CVTs
