I didn't vote in the poll, but I'll add my .02 cents.

I used to race in the SimHQ races in '06 with rFactor. Some of the best and most intense times of my online experiences. The folks I raced with were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It sure beat the experiences I had when racing Nascar 4 online. On the SimHQ servers and races, the folks were there to race and not intentionally crash folks. My hats off to those folks and I hope to race you all again soon once I get back online with it. There were/are some great drivers here.

I'd think if you can throw a Cat around Nordshleife you'd be just fine with what we generally offer online here!

It's hard to imagine people don't want to try online racing...maybe because I get so bored with offline racing and love the real competition and have been racing online now exclusively for years. I understand if you don't have the bandwidth strength, but I hear a few folks saying they don't think they have the skill yet to hop on the SimHQ server and give it a go. We offer up a lot of just for fun racing like the Skodas and that would be a great place to get your feet wet because if you're not banging bumpers and doors with the Skodas...you're not racing. wink

The folks who race on SimHQ servers are generally more than willing to help out a new guy, and wanting more competitors we understand that some of the new guys might spin somewhere more often, but that's okay, and we want to help out. Heck, I've been racing here since '05 but you couldn't tell after a few of our last events where I couldn't finish a race without wrecking out. biggrin I win some, podium some, limp home on some, and DNF some...but it's all fun. wink

I'm not putting anyone down or anything for racing offline, it would just be cool to get some of you online to share the fun. smile
