Introduce Yourself Here

Darran_Ball · Jun 29, 2014

Hi all,

My name is Darran, 28 from Southern UK.

WIth Assetto Corsa getting a generous discount in the steam sale I thought i'd dust off my old G25 and get back into some sim racing! I used to play Race 07 and rfactor online a bit back in the day so hoping to get back into the swing of things with this game, very impressed so far!

Fairly busy but hope to see some of you on track soon when time allows!

Hi guys,

I had been following this forum for quite a while before I signed up to join and race. My name is (as you can tell from my username) Tom, 21 years old and living in Belgium.

I used to play iRacing but I cut that off once iRacing went on pre-sale because iRacing just takes a huge heap out of my student budget

. I race with a Fanatec GT3RS v2 and fanatec clubsport pedals v1's. So as you can guess I'm all AC now and it doesn't look to me like that will change in the forseeable future. I hope I'll have some good races on here with you guys!

See you on the tarmac,

Tom

Greetings and welcome to all of you new posters the group!
It seems we do have some racing for you.
Settle in, get acquainted, enjoy the forums and the online action that's also available.

Hai! I'm new to here and new to simracing. I've played various arcade racers over the years and a little simcade like Gran Turismo, but never played an actual sim until I bought AC a couple days ago.

So I am obviously absolutely terrible, but enjoying it. As long as you look good failing, everything is okay in my book.

Welcome GLITT3RB0MB! RD is a good place to enjoy this sport. Check out all the forums when you're not running laps!

Welcome to all I have missed here.

Dan Allen · Jul 19, 2014

Hey guys,

I've been around the forums for about 7 months or so now, but never really used the forums much until the last 2-3 weeks or so, so I thought I would introduce myself formally

So as you can probably tell, my name is Dan from Bristol, UK and I enjoy racing and racing sims. Sims I play are Assetto Corsa and occasionally Game Stock Car 2013.

I have also passed my race test and have earned a National B license, so hopefully I can race in reality soon!

Anything else you wanna know, just ask

Dan

Hello Everyone,

First of all a big thank you to RD and the staff for the excellent website and fostering such a great community.

Have been visiting this site for nearly a year before I decided to go premium.

I am from India, currently on assignment in Europe

Own assetto corsa, DTM-E 2013, rFactor 1, GSCE (bought from RD

), F12012, 2013 and all the old simbin titles (hoping to own rFactor 2 as soon as Bram announces the discount)

Hardware - Had a Logitech DFGT which died so got a nice new shiny G27

Best regards,
Melroy

Hey Gang,

I've joined looking for a Motorsport community. I love that racedepartement.com is that and more. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

I have a family of 4 (Wife, 2 boys & me) and have fallen into the love of motorsport once I purchased a 2nd car for commenting to work (2002 Porsche Boxster). After getting the car, I was convinced to take it to a track day to learn how it should be driven and after my first High Performance Drivers Ed, I was hooked. While looking for other ways to get seat time I found Skip Barber and their site had a link to iRacing.com. I love iRacing as it has helped me so much that I now have built a Spec Boxster and a Racing license for PCA Club Racing. I've started to look at what is outside of iRacing and have copies of rFactor2, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa and have added a SimVibe, SimXperience (Stage1 & G4Seat) , Oculus Rift Dev1 (Dev2 on the way). I love Motec Data and figuring out Setups, Real Life and Sim.

I guess what I'm trying to say is over the last 2 years I've found a passion that use to only be my Job and thankful that I did. The Family comes to the track and stresses out right next to me and allows me to Practice in my Sim Chassis.

Looking for ward to reading through all the content that is here and making some new friends along the way.

Of course I am not jealous at all that you can drive and race a Porsche in real life. [/pinnoccio]

Great to hear that you have been caught by the simracing virus as well and nice of you to join and support our little community

Welcome aboard!
