HenkySA · Apr 25, 2014

apart of studying, i also a part-time worker in some hospital in my country as IT Support there. my hobby is watching anime as you see on my avatar. also enjoying music, playing guitar, and reading manga although sim-racing is my hobby too.

Travis Wilber · Apr 25, 2014

Hi,

I'm Travis Wilber, I'm new to the site, but not new to sims. I've been racing in various sims off and on for about 2 years now. My favorite being Live for Speed, where I've finished as high as 5th in the standings in the Formula M Championship. I've also enjoyed 112 wins and 382 podiums. Now that LFS is finally starting to show its age, Assetto Corsa seems to be the perfect replacement for down the road. It has a feel about it that I've only had in LFS before, which is a huge plus considering how much I've enjoyed LFS.

My current Sim-Arsenal consists of Simraceway (though I haven't played it in months), Live for Speed, NetKar PRO, NR2003, and now Assetto Corsa. I spent a brief spell playing iRacing through a free trial, and would like to get back into it once I have the money.

I'm 15 years old, living in San Antonio, Texas. Currently being homeschooled, as I have since grade 1. I'm a die-hard fan of NASCAR, with varying interest in most all motorsports. I don't have many other hobbies than Sim-Racing, but I do enjoy 3D modelling. I've spent the last 4 years creating content for Rigs of Rods, a real-time soft-body vehicle simulator.

My career will most likely be something in the realm of what I've been doing in Blender, but not as a first choice. What I'd really love to do with my life is race full time, though I'm not sure what series would be best for me. I haven't had any opportunities to race up to this point, and my mother has increasing concerns about my safety if I were to race. I've tried and tried to convince her I'd be ok, and that it's not as dangerous as she thinks, to no avail of course. So I can't count that as a possibility, given the previous statements, along with the fact I'm already 15. I feel like to have a real chance at being successful you have to start at a fairly young age, let it become second nature. History somewhat backs up that theory, when you look at the legends of racing.

With that said, I'm happy to be here, and I hope to have some great times with you guys!

Thanks for opening up an introducing yourself.
OK, back to racing!

Unicon · Apr 28, 2014

Hello to all of you friends it's a great move to be a part of this discussion.

Dennis Phelan · Apr 29, 2014

Welcome Unicon, the best discussions are yet to come I guess. Pick your forum and have at it!

Ramon van Rijn · May 8, 2014

I think it is time to re-introduce myself.
For my old intro see this post

I hope there are still some fellow simracers remembering me. After two years of hiding in the shadows of sim-racing i am planning to race again on a regular base.

Nowadays I am stock old with 43yrs, still married and now 3 kids (4/7/10). The oldest has his own G25 wheel and hopefully he will be sim-racing enthousiastic in the future too.

For this moment I hope to race in Assetto Corsa once the multiplay is released. And i like to pick up some formula trucks and Game stock car.

See you around!

Rupe Wilson · May 8, 2014

Welcome back! I've heard quite a bit about you. You inspire me to give it my all in sims. I find your setup guide useful.

Ramon van Rijn · May 28, 2014

Wow Mohammed, I am honored!
Great to hear my guide is still useful.

Sergio Fernandez · May 28, 2014

Murray Hibble · May 29, 2014

Hi all, I signed up back in 2009 to grab some files I needed for the HistorX league and have filched a tonne more files since. I will probably have to get Premium on principle, I owe it to RD!

I'm 37 and live in Tasmania, Australia. I'm an avid simmer, fully conversant with the DCS, IL-2 and RoF flight sims, get into hardcore tactical ArmA with Combat Team Bravo (part of the Australian Battle Group), but equally spend a lot of time playing all sorts of other genres and titles (my triple screen PC has an xbox and ps3 plugged into the left and right), and somewhere I find time to hang out with my lovely wife and our two year old son!

I use a G25 & Track IR for racing and my favourite title has to be iRacing because the online is always packed (well, except for the empty Lotus 49 race last night) and because of the excellent Safety Rating system (always a contentious opinion). I'm a little bit in love with PCars and Assetto Corsa is growing on me. The only other driving sim I'm into atm is Euro Truck Sim 2

To give you an idea of my leanings, I play the Codies F1 series on minimum 50% distance, no HUD, no Rewinds, no assists, cockpit view and legendary AI. To me, that is as sim as it gets which I'm sure will be a fun conversation with people who feel otherwise! Oh, and my best placing on that setting was 3rd at Valenica... my hardest fought podium in a game outside of my small handful of iRacing wins.

I've finally signed up to become a licensed member because my friends cannot keep up with my rapacious need to race when I want to race... I'm really hoping the RD teamspeak is lively during Australian evenings!

oh yeah, last thing... I type a lot
