Anything we can do to entice you to stay in? Greebs can send nudez

Thanks for letting us know mate - if you can come every so often still to race in whatever we do (for fun as always) then that would be ace. 🤗

That's a pity but appreciate you letting us know🙂

Nice post, very informative! 
 
Don't think I'll be getting the Gold version as I don't have a PS5 and don't see myself purchasing one till the price becomes more affordable. However I will be getting the standard version for PS4, I presume sometime after the initial release however. 

I'll be dropping out this season, but good luck to everyone else competing!

I promised you all for a special update from the FGFGF on my recent update about summer improvements to FG, so here it is! Buckle in tight for this one 😄
 
As most of you will hopefully know by now, La @RenFengge has come into help me a huge amount of late and she found an opportunity within lockdown to do a few extra special gifts as we had a few generous people in FG that could contribute significantly to help make a few people smile.
 
First off, Bob @Baabcat  has been here for many years and we've seen him be amazing of late, trying super hard to help many of the Destiny 2 FGers get involved and put up many raids each and every week. Its crazy to think that after nearly 7 years of Destiny, the past 6-12 months is the most active it has ever been at FG with so many complete FG raids, dungeons and Nightfalls done with each other. A large part of this was down to Bob so we duly obliged when knowing Charlie @Venom  had a PS5 but his Dad didn't. After working out the logistics with Clive @Teenwolf25 , we informed Bob online how great he is and gave him a huge smile from the FGFGF with a new PS5.
 
Secondly, Gary @techno  has been a mainstay in FG for so many years and helping in areas that people really haven't seen before but he's always there to pick you up when you need it most. He always offers advice, even when you didn't realise it. It was about time this guy from 'up Norf' received something extra special, especially whilst he has to be ploughing money into huge alterations in house for his wife that has a degenerative disability. Thanks to a few more significant others, we were able to not give away one PS5, but two! (Logistical mare with how he got it but it was paid for nonetheless 😄).
 
A shipping problem lies with our merch currently, but i've managed to test a few new design hoodies out, finally sorting the last Xmas FGFGF giveaway present to @Dan94  and for all his continued efforts with his artwork and helping me significantly with his amazing Gran Turismo Articles, @Greboth received his own personalised hoodie.
 
Some also might not be aware but our beautiful Scottash @Nutcuttlit  had a horrible scare recently when his daughter was knocked over by a car. Whilst battered and bruised she soldiered on like how her Dad can be, so we thought we would send the best current release on Metacritic, a 2 player co-op game It Takes Two. Hopefully the smiles can keep wash away the bruises over time 😄
 
There was a few FG mugs given out too, @Findmartin  @TonyAE86  @Lurch  @Antpool84  to name just a few.
 
We're working quite hard to get some extra things to other FGers outside of the UK too. Its more of a logistical nightmare (and has been for a few years) but watch this space and we're extremely hopeful of doing further good things to keep people smiling around the world in the not too distant future.
 
Lastly, don't get take the next part lightly.
 
Thank You. ALL OF YOU people have shown you have the ability to keep making so many people smile and happy, especially when it hits some people's lives when they need it most. There's some of FGers out there that won't be named that are at their darkest points, and stuff like this - showing that you care for others at such a hard time for all of us - helps them realise life is worth living.
 
 
Keep giving when you can to make FGers smile. GGFG all ❤️
 

Couldn't agree more that Gr.4 is a struggle. For me, it clearly shows the VW and Peugeot are miles ahead in that class. I think @Lurch  and myself did the best we could to get some points for our Porsche team, being on the limit so much but just couldn't catch up @Mikepjbell  and @JBR-Kiwi , even in a straight line with a tow. First race I felt great and super solid, just annoyed that I gave slightly too much room for a very late point for Mike to get past me, especially with just 3 or 4 quick laps left. You live and learn for next week 😄
 
Second race I chose to run Softs and save fuel so I didn't have to pit. It actually looked a great decision and I think I would've been in the race for 3rd if I hadn't had the most weirdest of spins on the fast straight. It was like a spin on a wet F1 race, must've touched abit of ashpalt off the racing line and it completely lost the car and into the barrier. 15 seconds lost at least but at the end I finished just less than that behind Mike. Never looked forward to getting back to Gr.3 next week as much as now! 😄
 
 
This in spades. Super to see Paul be so close to the pack after weeks of trying his hardest to get better and Nick is having an immediate impact to jump in the vacant seat at VW to team up with Kiwi.
 
 
I think those tracks with our cars are a recipe for disaster as if you make one simple mistake, the Nissan and Porsche are all over the place. I thought you had Nick at the end of Suzuka though and next thing I saw was the position switched! Did you say it was the penalty that dropped you back or did you miss the chicane again?

Hate to say it but Arsenal have already made some decent signings. Spurs look like they're in for some good transfers too. However Liverpool and Man City for me will be the two battling it out. Man United are still a bit off I think and Chelsea don't give me and confidence in their signings last summer. 

Highlight of the night was driving 2 inches behind Jordies rear bumper and watching him shit his pants and fall off the track.

Had a blast, cheers guys!
 
Had some great battles with @Lurch and @crispymorgan , can see it being a tough season! I definitely need to get more race practice in, bottled it on a few occasions when coming close to others, particularly a big torpedo into James on the second race...

Potter would've been perfect really but I can't see him leaving Brighton until they go down.. 

I was hoping for Potter or Howe, but I'd have taken Parker too. Now let's see what the squad will look like...

@GazzaGarratt can't say I'm happy as he definitely wasn't one Tottenham planned to get, but hopefully he'll help improve some of our younger players and get them into the team a bit more (got to look on the bright side).
 
Noticed that very rarely Jose would start or feature a youth player unless it was a early cup match, and it's a shame because we have some really fantastic talent such as, Tanganga, Rodon, Sessegnon, Winks, Skipp, Clarke and many more!
 
Otherwise I'm not overly pleased on the appointment, not a big fan of his playing style or his choice of transfer targets, but we'll see how he does!

@Greboth and @GazzaGarrattthanks for taking the time to make these for us, can't wait to start making our liveries now for the Summer League. They're going to look ace! 

Bloody love it!

After Lee suggested having FG skins for our racing cars, Mike asked for the FG logo.  As there’s no way to share in game you’ll need to upload it yourself
 
Logo's currently made;
 

 
I've also made 2 website decals, one lowercase and one all caps.
 
Download; https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nb4yntiqnvmba97/AAA0q7UuMdnadYsdEDpnPkW6a?dl=0
 
If you need any other logos / versions of the FG logo let me know.  I’ll keep the dropbox updated so it can act as a logo pack for us all.

Mate, those extra logos are incredible!!!
 
Thanks bud!
 
P.S. I need PNG ones too so we can use them everywhere else too!
 
Current Car Manufacturer teams ( @Lurch  @jordie1892  @crispymorgan  @Mikepjbell  @slamminbones  @phil bottle @Macca89  @JBR-Kiwi  @Greboth ) Make sure you get some of the new logos on your car for sure!
 
Individual FG Special Drivers! ( @Diddums @Kurt @LordBaguette @Misneach_ @tronic44 @Spacedeck @Stretch616 @TonyAE86 @Findmartin @TurboR56Mini ) Grab some of these and upload them through the GT website. Takes literally a few minutes and you can then add some extra awesomeness to some of your own personal liveries.
 
Get them done and shared up so we can see how many we can make 😎

Just an idea I thought may be worth getting opinions on for the next season of GT races. Alongside the usual drivers championship, could we pair drivers together for a team competition, with both drivers scores combined? Figured this could help achieve a few things:
 
Closer competition within the overall standings (assuming more experienced drivers are paired with newer guys for fair teams) More experienced drivers could focus on helping their teammate, almost as mentors. This could be really useful with race strategy becoming increasingly important. More incentives for a consistent turnout (at least I myself would make sure to find time to practice and race with a teammate depending on me)  
Thoughts?
