We had a little league over at TBK-, there wasn't a lot of competition with only four or five drivers in each race but there was a helluva lot of crashing and arguing for weeks after :mrgreen: Still have the replays and race results on my PC.
I think at our peak we would have had a little over a dozen. My one or two wins came during smaller numbers :P.

They were happy, young, carefree times though.

Definitely want to get back into sim racing down the line. Won't be any good, but will be fun.
What would be your sim of choice? :sly:

Well, I already have rFactor 2! It was actually the reason why I got this old, old computer! Never saw out its potential though :(.

I guess part of the wider problem is just how fractured things are. Assetto Corsa, Automobilista, Project Cars (and sequels). iRacing...

I don't see it as fractured, it's just variety. iRacing is the simplest way to get into competitive online sim racing, AC has public online lobbies that you wanna avoid like the plague but both that and I'm sure rF2 and AMS have dedicated private leagues you can race in if you don't mind being a bit serious.

And totally off-topic, in 25 years I never started or completed a championship in GPL. Maybe now is a good time to try?
