    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.

• The Eternal Backmarker... The Eternal Backmarker...

    Hi.

    I've been simracing since 2007, started with VGP on the Race07 platform, got hooked on www.swedishsimracers.com where I soon joined their entry league. SSR GT Club on GTR2. Strictly Road racing, no ovals.

    Raced in that sprintrace format for a season, then joined the large GTR2 league, now with longer races, variable weather, pitstops etc. Man that was a lot to keep in mind :D

    Then after a while I got invited to the first public wave of iRacing, way before fasttrack became a concept. So basically I thrudged my way through the licenses, the Radical being my main goal, before I got to that, the Riley was announced  ... Being a long term Fan of ALMS & Prototypes I jumped at it, bought it way before I could race it. 

    I ran a full season in it in Div 10, and actually won the division championship, not from being particularly fast, I'm stuck somewhere around 1500 in iRating, but from driving one race per week and not DNF:ing.

    This brings me to the Backmarker note of the post, In all the time I've raced in leagues and the few races I've done here, I've never won a race! I've won a championship, but never a race. I'm the guy who starts somewhere in the back, mostly stays out of trouble but more often than not ends up a lap down to the podium. Basically the very definition of a Backmarker.

    More often than not it created sort of lonely races where you are stuck in a pace where you can't quite reach the guys in front, and the faster guys behind slowly getting closer for lapping.

    

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    But it's still fun! It also became a lot more fun as I took the step and went triple screen... 

    

     

     

     

    Here's a snip from the Daytona 2.4 that I ran:

    Now if only all these straps could bounce and move it would be even cooler 

     

    So that's some notes from a Backmarker, we may be slow, but we can still have fun racing!

    So I started Iracing less then a week ago. I am currently living in SIN as far as the Iracing world goes. I am using a gamepad. Yes I know i will be exiled for saying so. I wanted to just check things out an decide. Well I played one day and ordered my wheel(should be here tomorrow). I have run in a few races. I just made sure to fall out of line ASAP and fall to the back and just ride around. I did not want to actually race anyone since I do not have great control of the car in my current setup. So tomorrow once I test a bit with the new wheel I can actually start racing guys if my car is up to speed. So wish me luck and I hope to see you on the track.

    More later.
