Update:
Raced in the top split on the finals. Despite getting rear-ended in hairpin on lap 1, at least Mr. Alatalo finished 2nd with my setup
I never gave up either. Feels good, man. Despite the negative atmosphere here, I've found a lot of friends from Club Finland. I've attended our meet-ups for over a year now, and we always have good time. Granted, I still have some issues with my temper, I guess they never go away completely, but I've progressed quite a lot myself. Still in Glacier Racing, and while we just missed the BES Pro series cut-off thanks to a combination of poor car choice and lack of racecraft from other competitors, it was still the most competitive season so far.
It may not be for everyone, but with the right guys, it's more than a game, more than a sim, it's more of a hobby, an adventure.
