    Howdy folks,

    Keen to get into SIM racing, using controller at the moment but have wheel and stand on the way. Can't wait to get into it.

    I've been reading around about Season 2 but can't see a start date?

    Cheers

    Shauno

    No start date as yet Shaun. One of the Mod team will be along shortly to give you the official welcome and point you in all the right directions. Until then welcome buddy. Great bunch of guys to race against here.

    Hey Shaun,

    Welcome to the forum mate. Here's some basic info for you:

    "For mid-week community run racing you can probably get involved with straight away, see current events (sticky topics) here and post your interest. http://raceonoz.com/forums/gran-turismo-6-general-events-discussion.20/ and add some of the guys to your PSN friends list.

    For Sunday league racing, Season 1 is run and won, so you might have to sit tight until Season 2.
    Register your interest for S2 here - http://raceonoz.com/threads/season-2-entry-list.939/

    Until that kicks off (start time will be around 3 weeks, maybe 4), you can run the qualifier and submit your time so the mods can place you in a division for Season 2 best suited to your pace.
    http://raceonoz.com/threads/gt6-gtloz-how-to-qualify-for-sunday-league.830/

    There's also some general discussion on Season 2 here - http://raceonoz.com/threads/season-2-general-discussion.940/

    Everything else is generally covered by http://raceonoz.com/threads/welcome-guide-for-new-members.383/
    Please make sure you've read the racing rules and regs (links to in the welcome guide), and anything else just ask here"

    Thanks Koastr!

    Get your qually done and have a look at the general events section. A lot of guys are on every night of the week, so keep an eye on the shout box. Best to add a few lads straight up like Stu, myself, room captains and you'll get the rest as time goes.

    See you on the track,

    Anon

    Might be season 3 for me. Got all my gear set up today and I am rubbish! I doubt everyone would appreciate me pranging into them.

    Practice makes perfect though, will be interesting to see how long improvement takes

    Hi Motho, Great to have you on board mate..

    Mate so long as you give other drivers a bit of room it doesnt matter what speed you drive around at. Trust me though, you get much better by having a go and racing with guys on track.

    Also, dont you want the chance to win the V2 cockpit ;)

    I will add you in any season 2 conversations so you know what is happening, Add me on PSN : stuart170773 and we will see if we can get you some practice races / sessions so we can get your speed and confidence up.

    CHeers'

    Guys,

    thanks for the welcome and support. I really want to join season 2 but timing might be my issue, I'm about to head overseas for business and wont be back till April 26 so I may miss out on posting a qualy lap if they don;t start next week and may miss a few races, On a positive note I'll also be at the China Grand Prix which is cool.

    Now to try and work out how to get my PS3 to go online, seems every time I start it up it runs a new update then dies for a while:(

    Common Problem, from memory you have to confirm the update asap. like within 2-3 secs of it comming up.
