I heard about ROOZ from Koaster and Colin-50 when I was racing @ GTSR, still yet to take part in a race. But based on the friendly and welcoming attitude here, I think I'll be around for many seasons to come
Well I believe @carn_the_pies has to take the credit for getting me to sign up. I had no idea that this magnificent community even existed before ANZGT was challenged by ROOZ which I believe Carn was the the mastermind behind. Even though the series was a disaster as a result of a certain someone who I'm sure most of you know. Seeing @Mustafur and @vh_mik, who I had fond memories of some brilliant races in random lobbies back in GT5 were apart of ROOZ, and had gone from quick to alien like since the last time I had raced with them had me seeking more info. Although there were a few things that put me off, mainly the prohibition of tuning. @Fastboysmith who had already abandoned the sinking ship that is ANZGT finally twisted my arm enough to sign up. Lets just say I haven't looked back since and you'll be stuck with me for what i'm sure will be many years to come
Mine was quite interesting back earlier this year and even late last year I raced with a bunch of guys and all we did was race the v8 supercar at mt panorama this particular night we decided to do a 25 lap race at the nurburgring v circuit in gt3 cars I wouldnt remember who but someone asked if there was any gt6 online championships going on and someone said raceonoz was the best place for good clean online racing that had me interested cause I was sick of getting crashed off first turn by some noob looked up the site and was pretty much hooked signed up to the site just to have a go I still remember being quite suprised being put in division 2 for my first season but after the awesome first race I just never left (except for 2 races later when I raged over the psn servers and didnt do the rest of the season) but im still here loving the racing
I had no idea that their were proper online racing leagues with guys that were even more mad about racing than I was. I had played gt for years and tried a few online races in gt5. I felt like I was the only guy on track with a brake pedal and more often than not ended being run off the road so I got tired of that pretty quick. When gt6 came out I did a few races at Bathurst and some bash and crash at Daytona for a laugh. The gt6 game itself offered little challenge and once I finished the super series went off the game until I saw a sponsored post for race on Oz on Facebook. I had heard a little bit about Iracing and thought it sounded like fun but I wasn't a PC guy. I started following the fb page last season when they were running the Mclaren. I joined up looking for a challenge and boy did I find it. Awesome, super close,clean racing with some very talented drivers and this was only in Div 4. I'm only 2 races into my ROOZ career and I can say I'm completely hooked already and can see myself being around for a long time. Bring on gt7, 8 and so on.
I remember that ANZGT vs ROOZ i did the practice setting the fastest lap then kenty limited me to NSX only lol, too good for kenty lol. I also got a message off Carn but i didn't accept because busy with TeamRedline league's and i was stuggling to do them all lol. A lot of use drivers wanted me to sign up and now im happy i did nices guys i met after the ANZGT crap going on lol.
I was racing with ANZGT like last year December or so and I was in a lobby randomly and @carn_the_pies came in and did some advertising. I signed up in January but I lost interest in racing only racing like 2 times a week, seeing as my nascar glory days were over after racing with StrikeForce and the ANZACS. I competed in the ANZGTvsROOZ for ANZGT and I got punted off the track by VPredz so I said stuff the lot of yas and left ANZGT told them where to stick it except for Hezza and Juzzy also Woody because they are top blokes. Joined up for last round of season 2 in the mclaren and here I am Div 4 season 3 leading the championship with some of the best drivers in Australia and the world. ANZGT is no more...It is now known as PIT LANE. Rooz is love...Rooz is life
Heard about the Friday night GT3 Project Car race league on the PS4 over at the Whirlpool forums. I play all my racing games online, it is so much more fun that way i'm sure we all agree . Looking forward to joining in some races here.
I jumped in a practice room where aocleaner was racing and was really impressed by the clean racing. Him, stucar and a couple of others told me about racing and signing up and here I am.
I joined one of the sunday night league races and got the ol 'this is a league event leave immediately or be kicked' I quickly typed how do I join and the boys told me to get to raceonoz. Happy days
End of GT5, start of GT6. Seen the lobbies and knew of a few racers from the group. First race was in the hto series and boy that was one of the best races.
