Nothing to do with ability gsb. Only the time that the race is held. Feel free to sign up for either one if you wish to.
Also, welcome aboard!

Hi everyone, I'm new here as well.
Just need to find my feet - another forum site to get used to. I'm still waiting on the FRs to be sent from the Lounges but I would like to just say hello first.
How often do you have organised races? I know you have a monthly endurance race, but is their an organised race every week or so?
Hope to see you on track soon, anyways
Iain

Hi Ian (and GreatSuperBig)
Yes, we have a weekly race - run 2-3 times every weekend so in fact there are up to 3 races per weekend you can race in. We do this to try and cover all the time zones our members live in.
Have a look at the PARC thread (click on "recent threads" below the main CRAP banner). Those are the next couple of weeks races. Doesn't matter that you've missed the first half.

Have a look at the PARC thread (click on "recent threads" below the main CRAP banner). Those are the next couple of weeks races. Doesn't matter that you've missed the first half. In addition Friend Requests have been sent from the CRAP_GTP room where we do some of our weekly races from. You won't see that user online much but go to the COMMUNITY section of the game and find the user from your friend list. They are initially sorted by Driver Level for A Sppec, so the rooms are at the bottom. You can change it each time to list alphabetically (those currently playing in the GTP Life section of the game are shown first). That's the same for the other CRAP rooms you will be sent shortly. What works well though is if you friend anyone in the CRAP group you come across and then you can see who's online. I think I have most of the frequent and new CRAP membership as friends. I've also sent you both FR's for me. Sorry for the double post.

Nothing to do with ability gsb. Only the time that the race is held. Feel free to sign up for either one if you wish to. Also, welcome aboard! Good to know. I've gone through the lounges in the late evenings for the past week in my timezone (+8GMT) and have yet to see anyone else around. I can probably make it to the 30 March race, but first I have to check with the Missus if we have any social events this weekend. No DLC means I can't run the Mazda Roadster TC races too.

Once you know, just post something in the PARC thread and we'll see you in the relevant division.

Hello
I'm a new member here too. Read something in the C.R.A.P thread in GTP and decided to join.
My name is Genci, 47, and I'm from South Spain. I've been playing/driving GT5 from october 2012, so I'm learning everyday.
I'd like to take part on some of your races, and have a great time sharing the track with you
Cheers

Ola nikel/Genci
There are 2 races on this weekend. Both are the last week of a casual series but you could race in whatever you can make. There is a thread called PARC WHICH IS NEAR THE TOP of the recent threads list.
You'll need access to that lounge so I'll sort you out soon.
You'll also need to read that first thread to see what cars you need.

Welcome aboard Tony, if your itching to get racing make sure you have the CRAP rooms (someone should be sending you FR for them soon). We have a race this weekend with the premium Fiat 500. You can find more about it in the members events under CRAP Racing.

Hi fellow CRAPpers, I've been a long-time player (still have my PS 1 and original copy of Gran Turismo 1) and (soon-to-be) first-time network racer. My name is Nam and I'm located in the -end of Oz - Victoria. My PSN ID is namboy79, and was introduced to this group by Lionel, a.k.a. greatsuperbig. I was hoping to get started with the coming Fiat 500 race (unfortunately not this Friday 12 April - I'll be away fishing). But I should be able to make it for Saturday night/Sunday if there's one on. How do I look for fellow CRAPpers and race with you guys and girls online? (Please excuse my lack of technical knowledge when it comes to network racing - it's what happens when you play GT for 15 years on your own!)

welcome Nam. Someone should be sending you FR's to all the CRAP lounges. the ones where you'll find most people are the free practice lounge and Casual racing rooms 1 and 2. The rest are used for actual events. their should be 5 or 6 all together. See you on the track soon.

Hi fellow CRAPpers, I've been a long-time player (still have my PS 1 and original copy of Gran Turismo 1) and (soon-to-be) first-time network racer. My name is Nam and I'm located in the -end of Oz - Victoria. My PSN ID is namboy79, and was introduced to this group by Lionel, a.k.a. greatsuperbig. Welcome Namboy! I'm glad to see you made it here. The group moderators should soon be sending you Friend Requests for all the official CRAP lounges. Just accept the lot from your PS3 main menu the next time you log-in online with the PS3. Once that’s done you can go to the -Community- tab on your GT5 main menu, scroll down to the CRAP lounge you want to get into, and then select the coffee cup icon and hit 'join'. Unless there's a race happening, more often than not there's not many people around so don't worry if no one else is on track. Next race is the 1968 Fiat 500 event, I'm lined up for the Saturday 13th April 12:00GMT (10:00PM Melb time) one. crap.boards.net/thread/433/cinquecento-maximum-april-12th-13thIf I'm not wrong it'll take place in the CRAP_GTP lounge. Make sure you get a Friend Request from CRAP_GTP or else you can't see/enter the track. If you're joining just remember to buy the car from the game's new car dealer section (cheap as chips, this one) 100% fully hop it up and get racing soft tyres. Then be logged on and enter the lounge before 12:00GMT, drive around for practice, and wait for organiser's instructions. Even if you can't race, you can still log on to the lounge midway/anytime during the race events, select -Watch Race-, and see the event take place live. Or place bets on the outcome! cheers, Lionel

Hopefully knukken or Micantony can log into the CRAP_GTP account to give you new bods access. Sorry, I'm away. If not I'm sure everyone can race in one of the other CRAP rooms.

Hey guys, please excuse the silliness of this noob question, but do I "add" all the FRs sent to me? That's what I did and wasn't 100% sure if that's what I was supposed to do. Thanks.

Yes. Those CRAP accounts are lounges where we do most of our racing. You won't see them online often but it's where people meet / race.

Just found this thread, thought I might as well put a post up.
G'day I'm Rocket, a thirtysomething racer from Victoria Australia who works in IT. I have all the usual hobbies; photography, music, art, gaming.
I was dubbed King_Rocket in high school and have been using it online (or some variation of it) since the days of Doom 2.
GT5 was my first ever PS3 game and first ever GT game. It is still pretty much the only thing I play on my ps3 as I'm much more of a PC gamer/racer, sadly very little of my pc racing experience seems to translate to GT5 for some reason.
When GT5 first came out I played it for ages got to about level 32 a-spec (this was before the online login bonus) but never really played it online. Late last year as PS3 prices started falling I kept on encouraging my buddies to catch the GT5 fever, sadly only one took me up on it but it was enough to get me re-interested in the game, so I wacked a SSD in the ole' PS3 to combat the long loading times and took off again.
Hardware: Got my g27 is 2010 I think (might have been 2009) bolted it to a racing frame and never looked back. I upgraded to the AP Electrix Loadcell brake mod last year and it is fantastic, best upgrade money I ever spent.
