    As older Aussies would know the correct answer is that the Falcon is an awesome classic and became the iconic Bathurst Touring Car of its day ;)

    I get the same when i add some addition to my sim. i tell my son that everyone needs something that they can be passionate about and its good to have a hobby. though i know secretly the difference between passion and obsession. ;)

    ASA Stock car, very similar to the Late Model Asphalt in iRacing. My lap times are even similar to my real life times at my home track, only thing is I had to put very unrealistic settings on the iRacing car to make it handle properly.

    I'm the happy owner of a 2002 BMW E46 325i in Midnight Opal Blue. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to show at the moment, and it's a bit dirty due to all the bush-fire stuff going on in East Gippsland currently. The Germans sure know how to build a quality automobile, it's a real pleasure to drive :)

    I've had a lot of really fun cars, starting with a Nissan 350Z. That was upgraded to a BMW E92 M3. That was replaced with a Lexus RCF.

    I took the RCF to a track day and caught the bug. RCF left and I got a Camaro ZL1 1LE. God that car was a beast, but then I needed to do door to door racing, so the Camaro was replaced by the Spec Miata in my profile pic. I'd be a very rich man if not for cars lol. Vid from Camaro below, we were dealing with some wildfires and that is all of the haze in the air.

    Looks like real good fun!
    Is it possible for you to share your unrealistic setup? It would be fun to try out some kind of «realistic» driving in a sim.

    Also what kind of Sim gear do you use?

    I'm Soooo! jealous.
    I would love to get into that. Where i'm at you only have drag strips and a a few dirt tracks.

    Besides my daily drivers (Suburban, Jetta TDI, I drive a 2001 Firebird WS6 (Pontiac) , I say drive, but its currently parked, since I have the motor halfway torn down due to a bad lifter. So I'm planning to do a complete rebuild once I get the time and parts together.
