Greeting everyone from Madrid, Spain.
My name is Julio, and I´ve just discovered SimRcingSystem, but I intermediately had the feeling that it is very interesting because of my circumstances. I have almost always used iRacing for competing online, because of my restricted time available for this hobby. I have 2 young kids and a very small house, so it is totally impossible to have a PC, cockpit or whatever at home. On top, I have the issue of having no time available during the evenings and during the whole weekend, because I´m attending the babies. I ended up building my sim rig in my private little office, and taking the few spare moments during the week to train and compete. Of course, I usually practice or compete out of the typical "peak" hours when league races takes place.
I´m in the hope of finding some compatible competition schedules, practice sessions, etc. here in SRS, as I used to in iRacing. But at the same time I also hope that in SRS things will be a bit more "personal" and "close", because in iRacing I felt a bit "alone", and everything was a bit "cold" for me. On top, I´m not that fan of the simulator itself, specially some of the cars. So I always end using the Skippy. I really like driving inside Assetto Corsa, the physics, the pleasure of driving around with road cars, etc. So I wish SRS will give me a chance to compete online using Assetto instead of iRacing.
Btw, my gap for simracing usually takes place Mo-Fri, around 17:30-19:30 CET (I think that´s 16:30-18:30 UTC).
Thanks a lot for taking your time to read this (rather)long and probably too personal message. I wish we will meet soon at the races.
Best Regards
Julio
