Default getting out of sim auto racing - 01-01-2007 , 12:35 PM






Try as I might, I just haven't been able to get back into sim racing
after trying on and off for the last 6 months or so. I've moved on to
turn based games like chess and Civilization 4, which neither require a
super powerful computer nor lightening fast reflexes. Neither of which
I no longer have.

I thought that before I put my wheel and a few games up on ebay, that I
would offer them here first. If anyone is interested in these items,
please email off list. Thanks.

Just curious, but is this the same stuff you have been trying to sell
for like 2 years? I seem to recall that I wanted to buy the wheel last
year at some point and then you changed your mind halfway thru the
discussion.

Yes it is. I decided to give it one more shot after I finished with the
eye surgeon, but try as I might the "thrill was all gone". The wheel is
in the closet, and the sims that I saved are in a bookcase just
gathering dust.

to this feeling

It more permanent with me, just can't get back into it. I just have the
feeling that I've been there and done that so it's time to move on.

Ofcourse after spending a lot of time on simracing the thrill gets
less and less. I stopped simracing for a while because my former pc
couldn't handle the newer sims. Now that I've 'discover' rFactor and
the mods I'm getting huge enjoyment again from sim-racing.

Besides that I now drive with the G25, manual clutch and using the
H-shifter. It's like learning to drive all over again. Heel/toe is
HARD
