Hot Lapping with Cold Blood

The above image is best of ~10 attempts with AIs to get them to put a dinosaur actually IN a car. Apparently not possible, sheesh.

I'm happy behind a wheel.

I've loved every car I have ever owned. From my Isuzu Trooper, to my crumbling Cressida, to my overheating 325i, and to my awesome Audi S3.

Freedom is driving.

I love to drive and I really love to race.

However, I am by no means an expert sim racer. If those guys with 10,000+ iRating are aliens, I'm definitely more of a dinosaur. And not a fast one like a gallimimus, more like a stegosaurus.

I am creating this space to be a place where I can post my struggles and successes. Where I can show my growth over time and learn from my mistakes.

I probably won't have many tips to help you. There's a good chance that you're faster than me and you have a higher iRating.

But this is will be my journey.

Right now, I have trouble finding the time to consistently race.

Also I'm someone who has trouble with the mental side of sim racing. I know it's only a simulator for chrissakes, but I do tend to psych myself out and want to endlessly prepare before jumping into a race.

Who else am I? I am a very good student and I love to read and study. I'm diligent and hard-working. I'm very intrigued by how relatively small amounts of consistent effort can, over time, give big results.

If any of this rings true to you, I hope to see you in a future post.

Until then, have fun out there.
