Cheers thanks for that now hopefully the wife will understand I'm not that old.Are you kidding? You're still a kid !!!!!! I turned 67 last month and still run most popular sims - badly of course, but I still enjoy 'em.And I'm also (im)patiently waiting for AMS2.
Well - I'm 52 this year. I'd say you're hitting the sweet spot.
There seem to be quite a few well beyond the age of 53.
In the league I help organize and run, we even run a "Seniors points championship" for those 55 and older.
We have quite a few gentlemen that are well into their 70s and one that is in his mid 80s.
Obviously, the older guys love the seniors points stuff and it gives them something to fight for amongst each other.
We're a North American based league (where sim racers are often hard to come by) so if we are getting the kind of numbers we see, I'm sure there are a ton more on the European front.
So, long way to go before you're 'too old' for this hobby

Really? What league is that and which sims(s) do you run? I was a member of MARA (Middle Aged Racer's Association) back in the day and we ran GPL. But by now we'd have to rename it.
I am 63 and going slow and I love it to race and been constantly tweaking the rig.
I'm 66 recently retired. Been sim racing since Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix. Wondering about a track car or a camper to go to circuits in the UK and Europe I haven't visited. Would love to meet up with fellow sim racers but haven't been successful in finding any in southwest UK.

If you start at 90 you might be at your best at 100
