Hi John nice to have you here.

I did it the other way round with playing Assetto Corsa the last 4 years and now playing a bit of F1 2019 recently (my last F1 game was F1 2013 and already there races were just a wreckfest).
Never played ranked in F1 yet but until now it somewhat developed to the better within the last 7 years with having "a licence" and safety ratings and stuff.
However, be aware that here on SRS every even so slight contact will deduct championship points and influence your rating.
See you on track!

Thanks for the welcome, Simon! 

Well everybody's experience differs. For me it just didn't work out when I tried to be "competitive"    . Safety rating just doesn't cut it for me. Having clean races all week and building up my license just to be demolished by a troll on one afternoon and having my license downgraded and to be paired with trollers all over again.
It's fun for just a spin and the immersion, but when I'm actually trying to race, it's just way to chaotic.

That's what I'm looking for here - fair and competitive racing (at least as competitive as my skills let me, trying to race a somewhat "serious" sim for the first time). Having the caveat trying not to contact someone I can live with. I know that accidental touches in the midst of racing happens and to be honest i don't mind that at all. It's just the trollers and out of controllers that bug me.

See you on track mate - when i finally feel confident enough to race real people over AI
