About the Author: Richard Baxter
I'm an amateur racer in the UK, currently competing in the Masters Historic Championship in a Lotus Elan 26r. I also raced Radical SR3's for 5 seasons and 2 years racing Mazda MX5's. I hold a full International Class C racing licence issued by Motorsport UK.
Sim racing is a huge passion of mine, as I see the simulator as a perfect environment to finesse your skills as a racing driver.
I started simracingcockpit.com to help people of all backgrounds to get into sim racing, improve their technical ability with the software and hardware, and to get to a good place where they can simply enjoy their time in the sim. I enjoy learning and sharing information that other sim racers find helpful on their journey to the podium.
