Good thread Pykey
I have been playing GT since the original came out, i was never and am still not a huge gamer but i've always loved motor racing. I finished GT 1,2 and 3 but by the time 4 came out i was a bit over it, i got about half way through but gave up on it. When GT5 Prolouge came out i was pumped for it again and smashed through it pretty quickly and hung out for the full game. i had a crap steering wheel on my ps2 back in the day that had no force feedback and was just
to use and that really put me off getting another wheel until my wife bought me a G27 for Christmas in 2012 i was half way through the Le Mans 24 Hr (a-spec) race when i un wrapped it and i plugged it straight in and it blew me away.
Up until that point i was using a controller, auto transmission and using the chase cam so it was like learning how to play the game all over again
i think i only tried online racing in GT5 a couple of times but was really put off by the level of quality of the racing so i never went back. GT6 came out and i was pretty disappointed at how easy it was to finish it then my mate
@Killercarlcox69 got a rig and GT6 and started doing some online racing at Bathurst in the XR8 which i jumped in on and it was good fun and good hard racing and a did few races with a room full of Germans at Nurburgring for a challenge.
From there Killer and i started running some NASCAR in the dirty NASCAR rooms which was just for a bit of a laugh, after a trip to the states in Nov 13 i did a NASCAR driving school in Las Vegas and i was hooked on turning left so i stopped playing GT and went onto NASCAR12 for a few months.
Then i was on facebook one day and a post came up for ROOZ, i had been watching some iracing replays on youtube and was interested in some serious racing so i liked the page and followed season 2 with the McLaren from afar. I didn't even know that there was organized racing leagues in GT so i was pretty interested. When the call came out for Season 4 i had to give it a shot and to my surprised qualified straight into Div 4.
I had no idea how my speed compared to others on track and i was pretty shocked that i found myself fighting for the Div 4 championship on my first crack. I remember back to my first Sunday race at Deep Forest and i was like a kid on Christmas morning and i have been hooked ever since. Now at the end of only my second season i have found myself as captain of my beloved BHR team.
