I started sim racing with Project Cars in 2015, which is when I made the decision to go from controller-based games to using an actual wheel and pedals. Before that, I was a longtime fan of rally games, but I didn’t race in a proper rally sim until the release of Dirt Rally.
While I have many favorite tracks in sim racing including Spa-Francorchamps (especially the historic circuit), Brands Hatch, and the Nürburgring, the one I like most is Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit. It’s a very difficult track to drive on since you need to negotiate tight bends lined with concrete walls, and the change in elevation just adds to the drama. With my love for rally and touring cars, Bathurst ticks all the boxes to be my favorite track.
It’s very hard to pick my favorite car in sim racing, but if forced to choose I would have to go with the Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo. This car is a real beast and incredibly challenging to drive, but once you can control it, the driving is just awesome, and it’s is very hard to beat the sensation of speed you feel behind the wheel of this car.
Given my passion for sim racing and the knowledge I have accrued over the years, I now like to contribute to the sim community by providing new drivers with tips and essential knowledge about racing hardware and software via my blog posts and technical guides.
