History:
I started racing with my first computer that I bought from my own money. Amiga 500 and Test Drive II – The Duel. I love the F40 and the it was awesome to actually “drive” that car. Considering my interest in cars the focus soon headed towards simulators and the first one was Geoff Crammonds GP2. After that it just kept on and I ended up meeting Chris in GT5 back in 2009. We ran in a league called GTF (GTForum). After a while we went to PC and iRacing and we both have been there ever since. We started the team and are still enjoying iRacing as the best racing simulator consumers can race in.
