    I've not been iRacing long, couple of months at least - but I've been signed up since late 2008.

    It's only recently I've been taking to the track more often in what is widely regarded as the most advanced simulator for four-wheeled vehicles to date.

     

    My online racing career spans right to the present from September 12th 2008. Before that, I was a teenager racing Gran Turismo and ToCA on a gamepad. My wheel wasn't great; I had a Madcatz Xbox 360 wheel that turned a riveting 270 degrees lock-to-lock. Not pleasant! Needless to say, after half a year of incredibly frequent racing (maybe 4 times a week in a professional league for rFactor), it was time to upgrade. It was then that I bought my Logitech G25.

     

    I do admit, I wasn't keen on iRacing way back then. I didn't like the way races were run, I didn't like the physics (yes...) and I didn't like the safety rating system. I'd raced rFactor so many times, I just couldn't finish a race here.

     

    Another year passes and I begin to grow bored of rFactor's poor and wrongly-praised tyre physics. I wasn't getting much satisfaction from winning races left, right and centre (well not quite, but I had a string of podium finishes of over twenty with no DNF's, but that became boring too). And so, in April/May 2010 I rejoined iRacing to be greeted with a whole host of super-quick guys and found myself learning a whole new learning curve. The car felt perfect, like I would drive any other car. It was predictable, controllable...I just wasn't 'quick' in the status I'd presumed to be in rFactor. I loved it. I loved learning it all again. I loved battling in the middle of the pack, keeping out of trouble and seeing my safety rating go up. If I'd had a poor race, spinning off or hitting another car or a wall, I'd see that safety rating drop and it would annoy me, and therefore I would go at it even harder than before to build it back up.

     

    Now, all I need to say is that defending a position and winning a race in iRacing means much more to me than it did in rFactor, or any other sim. I get the adrenaline, I get the desire to push and I get the desire to defend my position and gain more positions no matter what it takes.

     

    I'm an iRacer.
