New Events posted for the league!! Godzilla Attacks Fuji Race To Nirvana Mitsubishi vs Subaru Karting for Glory Fully Sik Racing Cougars in Heat Ricky Bobby Invitational Ze Germans are Coming GT Racing Hope to see you on the Track

Delayed release again until the Holidays, I will update the event dates and come back and post when amended.

The Camera is the PS3 Eye (standard camera), and it has been implemented, it tracks your head so if you move it it will copy the movements on screen, I don't know how useful it will be but it is there, and you can look around the pillar if you need to. Some of the reviews say that it is a little laggy, but I guess it is wait and see what happens on release day.

League is ready to go, with more members signing up each day. New graphics for all our races, check them out!!. November 4th is almost here!!!

This is sad but it was not a developer's choice, this was forced upon by the car's manufacturers since they don't want to show their cars "breaking down", I think is quite stupid, since if you hit a wall at 100km + your car should not simply keep on going. This was addressed in one of the interviews with the developers, and you could see that they were not happy with it. If your car was able to be totalled, it would add a whole extra layer of "self preservation" when you are racing that sims generally skip, since you can't die or hurt yourself anyways.

Posted the new segments for the Top Gear Test Track in the Reasonably priced car. Here http://www.nextgg.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=94 We also made the leaderboard so you can see how you do there. BTW, you only get 1 shot (3 Laps)

Ok, posted the first 2 races, let me know if you like the system, and if you dont. EVENT 1 http://www.nextgg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=6902 (I bet people here will like this one) EVENT 2 http://www.nextgg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=6903 (maybe not so much here)

EXACTLLY!!!! The only reason for me asking for registration for the forums is due to our league platform being attached to it, and through it we will send the messages about upcoming events and stuff (via PM). You can choose to never participate of the forums if you wish. By registering for a race you are provided the rules, and since it is private servers, bumper cars and douchebags that ruin the experience for everyone else will be kicked and banned if needed hopefully we don't have to do it often.

Actually, I took your comment seriously, and added a section on the league registration "what car forum you come from" and that way when the results are posted you know if the EVO dudes are faster than the NISSAN guys, or the WRX guys, and we will be hosting team events, so you can work as a group and play to everyone's strengths. I told you, we are open for suggestions. BTW all this events have not been posted yet, it will soon, we are setting it all up.

We do all the work, that is the beauty of it, once you're in our list, you will get notified about upcoming events, if you want to race on that one, then you register, if you don't then you don't have to, we do all the hard work for you. On the practice day we will send you an invite through PSN to the private server and you can join or not, that is your choice. The only one that we ask people to commit would be the race day once you register for it, since there is limited spots and it would not be fair to take someone's spot just to not show up. (we are working on keeping 2-3 people on standby if we have extra people) Again, once the server opens for the race you will receive an invite and you can join up to 5 min before the race, after that you loose your spot and get a DNS. This is still in setup mode and open to suggestions, and remember, once you know people that race with you you have more people to do a on the spot spur of the moment thing since you'll have a long list of people that like to race. Also, DID I MENTION YOU CAN CHALLENGE PEOPLE ON 1 ON 1 RACES? and our ladder will keep track of wins and loss and give you a rank. (thought I should add that) No Pink slips required.

Makes sense then.... Typevu: the races and registration will be posted in our forum, in the GT5 section, if you are registered for the League you will get notified of upcoming events and will be provided the link to register to the Race. 3 days before the race day, we will open a practice server for you to meet other racers and get used to the track, learn some tips from other races, tune your car and plan your race. On race day, the server will be open 1 hour before the race, so you can go in and warm up or join at your leisure, 30 min before the race practice starts (qualifying on races over 15 laps) and rules go on. 5 min before the race track is closed and you should go to the toilet and get your beer. Race starts and away you go. Race rules/regulations may vary for each race and they will be posted in our forum. That is how the league will run, and we will have a parallel endurance series going if you can commit more time. All races are casual (except for the endurance series) and you can participate on as many as you wish, but remember, we have limited spots on each race so register quick for the race you want to join.

Yes, I did see it, and on all 22 pages all there is is back and forth within XBOX and PS3 fanboys bashing each other and some news here an there and no mention of an actual league or racing toghether. My reasoning behind posting here was that people would see it and go "Oh, cool", if I post it in that thread it would be lost in 22 pages of banter. Our forum is all about Games, and we have a whole section just for GT5, again, all we are trying to do is get people racing toghether.

All we are trying to do is have some fun and get people together. This is a car forum is it?, people that love cars will get this game, wouldn't they? (specially since there is like 50 different Skylines in it, even more relevant here) All we are doing is managing races for you. If you want to have your own "Gay little Gran Turismo Club" be my guest, and then come over and race us, we will be doing weekly races. All the other places where I posted this info (WRX, EVO, v8 forums and others), people have been wrapped about the idea, this is the only place where I got such a bitter response. We are just offering an invitation since we know that some of your members will be getting this and we are providing a fun enviroment to race people from all over the world.

Hi Guys, I am sorry to be so abrupt but we are trying to get the word up and get a nice group going, so here it goes. I am an active member of NGG Forums, an Australian gaming comunity for PC, PS3, Xbox and Wii, and we play from ModNation racers to COD and all the popular games. I would not post here if it was not relevant, and here it goes. If you are not aware, this little game will be coming out on November 4th. We are starting a racing league and club, we understand that people have lives and most of us are married and have kids, so we try to fit the schedules so everyone can take part. You can take part in casual races/events, practice sessions and track days, also will have driving school days and we are trying to make the game accessible to everyone. We are a very friendly community and considering that everyone here loves cars, I am assuming a couple will be getting this game, and trust me when I say playing with real people is 10 times better than AI. We also have our own Stig, so you can ask questions and see how you fare against the god of racing in the Top Gear Test track leader board. Come join us and join the fun. NEXT GEN GAMERS Once we have the league running, we will host an events and leagues so the Australian forums can race each other for world domination. We will even try to organize international events. I will invite members from this and other car forums so we can race each other in an environment where trading paint wont cost you anything, represent your community and race your loved car. We will allow full tuning so you can tweak it as much as you want up to a specified PP point. See you in the Track We will be posting Race days and sign ups soon, in the mean time, join us for some warm up on GT5 Prologue or just to get some info if you need so. We are also open to suggestions for events. MrPing ADMIN:I am not a spambot, or a Russian person living in Siberia joining forums and posting links, I posted here since I found it relevant, we are just trying to get people together for the love of cars, we don't sell anything.
