Hey Everyone, I know a few of you would have seen my first post a few weeks back, Well im now ready to give an update with a few changes but also the full proper announcement.

I am starting up a Gr.3 Racing Competition in GT 7 for Australian & New Zealand Racers only (Due to Internet Connectivity Issues that will occur due to living in Down Under).


I will be live streaming every Practice, Qualifying & race & then also having a replay saved and uploaded to YouTube Later :).
