    I think it was whirlpool a few years ago. Joined up for a GT5 series but life happened.

    After looking back through previous replies I think Carn may have recruited me. I definitely played GT5 with him and had him on my friends list.

    I was racing sprint karts at the time and also working with Vardz. On Mondays, we'd catch up and discuss our racing conquests on a Monday and I'd feel my sore ribs and look at my declining bank balance.
    He explained what ROOZ was all about but I was a little sceptical because of my very limited experience I'd had racing in open lobbies against foreign drivers that used me as a brake markers.
    Jumped online one night with Vardz, chopped a few lap then a couple of other guys came into the room.....few short races later and yep,..........Hooked!!!!
    So, kart sold, G27 and rig bought, and really enjoying the good clean racing that we get with equal equipment.
    What's best is no more rib pain on Mondays, you can stuff your car into a fence at high speed and it doesn't cost a cent and on some tracks (Fuji), you can have a couple of swigs of Carltons finest products before you've gotta think about braking;)

    I found out about ROOZ from a guy another in another crew , he would all ways disappear on a Sunday night , so I asked him what are you doing ? he told me about this crew with quick clean racer's .
    So on GT6 I jumped in to a couple of racer's and loved the fact that no set up's were used ,which made thing's close .
    Now we have Project Cars and I'm a strictly ROOZ , I'm bringing a few over and they love the close racing and the depth of the field .
    I'm hooked on Project Car and hooked on ROOZ , there's a good bunch here .

    I loved it when you posted the pic of the ROOZ flyer that came in your T500RS box on the Facebook page. Gold!

    I started an Aussie thread over at the Official Pcars forums. Started getting a really good bunch of blokes together for some fun and clean races. One of the guys PSN name actually is ROOZ and someone was talking to him about it. I overheard about this site, took me ages to find it because I was searching for OZ being spelt as AUS or similar (raconaus.com).
    I eventualy put two brain cells together and found this site and joined up.
    Really miss the in-game banter. Races can get long and boring without stirring up your mate and asking him where he is on track haha :thumbsup:
    If anyone reads this and wants in-game chat during the next series like this post and we'l get a PSN party chat up for the races.

    ANZGT owner was telling me what a 'Rooz' was. As he was telling me I searched the site and started to make my account @COME_AND_GET_ME7 helped explain the seriousness of the racing and the competition here
    Year and a bit later still here :D
    Didn't started racing here until a month or so after making my account wish I started earlier :cry:

    I found @Spidey_11 on a clean drivers list somewhere or other, sent him a friend request on PSN and he replied with a link to this place. Couldn't be happier, I've already had a few fun sessions with some ROOZ guys, and @stucar17 has been super helpful in getting the Radical set up for season 3 (even though I've missed the first race).

    I dont recall exactly how I found this group, I was searching for something race related online...maybe wheel recommendations. Anyways I found a whirlpool thread and someone in that had a link to this league. Checked it out, ummed and ahhed for about 1/2 the day and finally thought I would join. At least this way I can have people to race against and get better, quicker. :cautious:

    I was looking for an Aussie Based League to join, had seen the ROOZ servers in AC server list and looked it up. Glad I did, having a great time.
