It is with a heavy heart that today we hear the news of the untimely passing of Sim Racing Paddock founder and sim racing ambassador William Marsh, who passed away at the end of March this year.
William has been a prominent member of the sim racing community for some years now, both with his work at Inside Sim Racing and more recently through his efforts with the excellent Sim Racing Paddock YouTube channel, always happy to offer a thought and opinion on a range of many virtual motorsport related topics - from hardware to software, to the general musings of everyday sim racing life as a content creator.
I've spent many an hour chatting to William about a range of diverse topics over the years, from our shared struggles with mental health issues, to wildfires, real and virtual motorsports and a whole host of different and bizarre topics in between - and every time we have spoken, I've also firmly enjoyed the conversation and considered that time well spent. To hear of his tragic passing has, quite frankly, hit pretty hard this morning.
I'm sure I speak for many of us here when we say his early departure from this world will leave a big hole in our sim racing community, and from everyone here at RaceDepartment we offer our most heartfelt and sincere condolences to him many friends, family and loved ones in this tragic time.
Goodbye mate, it was a pleasure.
