I'm assuming a discord group chat?
As long as people are friends on psn can start up a big group chat that way think that's the easiest way correct me if I'm wrong. I don't mind trialing it out first before Thursday.Think I've already added you on psn so will set something up tonight if you are on tonight.

I've only had GT7 for a couple of days, and this is my first racing sim, so I'm pretty rubbish, but I'd be happy to join in. No idea how in game chat works though.
I got a cheap gaming headset once you are in the group chat party can talk with the other in the party. I will set something up tonight ready for Thursday.Norbury90 said:
I think as long as everyone has Chris on their friends list then he will be the glue that will hold everything together, hosting the lobby and the party chat.

Will confirm when I get will set up a group chat and get something together ready for Thursday.I have just added you Chris

I’m game although the game may be a bit too fresh to get any real enjoyment out of it.
For those without a headset you can use the PS app on your phone to talk.
I did think that hence why it's only a friendly few races see how it goes. Hit me up on PSN gamer tag is on the first post I ads you in to the group chat.For those without a headset you can use the PS app on your phone to talk.

They’ve been down since 6am this morning so someone has dropped a ball somewhere…
Apparently there was a reasonably big earthquake in Japan today. Could be coincidence, could be cause. ecsrobin said:

Well there was a update this morning so could be a bit of both maybe the earthquake hit when update was going through effected it somewhat. It's a shame because I was looking forward too racing tonight.
Earthquake was the day before.Bullett said:
I can't do tomorrow night but will keep an eye on this thread and I'm sure you'll pop up on friends often!
Do we need specific cars/PP/rules in advance?
We were planning on doing 400pp main weight of 1000kg for first race just to see how the differences in cars work. Think the early races will be just a trial to test format before we do anything more serious etc.Do we need specific cars/PP/rules in advance?
If the servers don't cash again will be setting one up for Thursday think I'm going to bump up the pp too 500. 400 doesn't give a lot of choice specially if you have already modified your car. Anyone want to join send a friend request through PSN and will add you to the group chat. I'm doing manufactures cup tonight so once that's done will update with info track etc for Thursday.
Details for the first race will be at trial mountain lobby will go live around 8pm. I'm going to bump up with pp rating too 500 2wd only min weight 1200kg sports medium tyres and no race cars.
Set practice for 15 mins or so then 5-10mins quali.
Do people want to do one longer race or 2-3 shorter races I'm easy with whatever. If we do shorter races if there is a option can do reverse grid start etc for race 2.

At the PP we are running, it seems like FWD is the quicker option. Have you unlocked all of the zones by completing menus? Its an area of the map called multiplayer...
No I haven’t, been getting getting golds on licences. Not sure I will get enough zone done by 8 pm..
won’t be back till 6:30 if the m25 plays ball.

Can't make it tonight but will join in some future ones. I'd prefer short - medium length races (5-15 laps).
I think being on the same tyres and having a minimum weight should make the racing closer and put the focus on driving/overtaking skills and setup rather than having a car/tyres that suit the circuit.
Yea we did a test last night see how things work it may take month or so of trying different things but once we have sussed out a good format we keep with that. Be good too see you next week. Send me a request on psn and will add to the chat over there.

So just that everyone know few had a little test last night bumped pp up to 525 and looks like fwd is the fastest route. I start the lobby around 7.45ish aim for quali around 8.15-8.20 then first race 8.30. we were doing 2.12-2.16 lap times so I'm going to put down for 10 laps 2nd race reverse grid.
Everyone welcome no matter what your level also if you have headphones we be on a party so can all talk too each other.
