    WOW! It feels great. iRacing has been a great experience. There is a good community involved who love to help fellow racers out (like here!).

    After three months of practicing, racing, and growing more confident I finally got a win in the Spec Racer Ford series. True, it was third split so I was not racing against aliens but it still feels great! :)

    Congratulations! I think win in 3rd split is very good. I know I myself will never be an alien, but enjoy every time I pass the finnishline after a clean race, no matter what split or place I'm in.

    Well done Historiker, the iRacing series looks very well run. Must try it out.

    Thanks Bruce, I have won a couple since then but the first always makes you feel great. I hope to get back into iRacing soon, we almost have all of the drywall finished and are getting ready to paint. As soon as the new house is complete I can game again (wife promises, lol).

    Great to hear! It really is a good feeling.

    I have just gotten back into iRacing now that the house is done. Instead of rejoining the Spec Racer Ford series I am trying my hand (and feet) at the RUF cup instead. Feels like I may never get another win ;)

    I did buy a holden commodore and thought about joining the V8 series, when do you usually race?

    Do you enjoy iRacing more versus something like rFactor? What is it about iRacing that appeals to you? And congrats on the win!!
