Correctomundo. Although, unlike the past, I also don't have a pickle if I miss one, or fall asleep, or just plain decide to do something else (very often).

Neither, just real auto racing. Artificial "competitive" racing's not for me.
But if they are the only options (as they appear to be fast becoming), no problem, I can find other things to do as stated in my answer to eg above.
I've loved racing/speed all my life (father's influence), spectating and participating. From running as a sprout to wagons, tricycles, bicycles, slotcars (scratch built, inter store racing), karts, cars, and lastly, r/c cars.
Auto racing is changing....not for the better as far as I'm concerned (can you tell?). My passion's waning rapidly.
I've enjoyed my 65 years so far (still enjoy F1, 'cept for the DRS) so I'm good whatever happens.
'Get my competitive itch scratched nowadays playing pocket billiards. Care to play? How much 'you wanna' play for....????
Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end.....
