#1606² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E15 – I LOST MY INTEREST

It’s official now, I really lost my interest in racing. I don’t know if that’s just because I am getting older, or if there is something else behind this, but it’s a fact. I guess racing hasn’t changed much in the last couple of months, so it must be me.…

#1590² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E14 – CRUISING

I don’t know if it’s just me getting older, but I drive differently these days. More relaxed, slower, just not always wife the knife between my teeth. The same goes apparently to my sim racing driving style. Instead of competing against other people I tend to prefer the country road…

#1576² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E13 – BACK TO RIGHT FOOT BRAKING

It’s more economical anyways! But I guess that’s the only good thing about it, right? Well, of course this is not based upon a voluntary decision. I just can’t use my left leg these days, but it does have it’s advantages. We have to drive more careful, more in control!…

#1561² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E12 – SLOW DOWN
With my current injury I am out of the game again. Well, it’s meant to be that way. I don’t really care any longer. I have learned to find the joy in driving slowly as well. You don’t always have to be at the limit to feel alive. I guess,…

#1531² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E10 – SUNDAY MORNING DRIVE
It’s for sure one of the best things to do on a sunny Sunday morning. Hop into the car and off you go. Even if that just means to take your racing simulator for a spin. I enjoy driving on the road, but driving on the simulator is kind of…

#1516² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E9 – LOSING INTEREST?
Life is this ever changing world. Not only is the world around us changing, we are also changing. I guess I am growing up now, having other things in mind? Ok, not really, I am still on my mission, but the way motorsport is not changing to the better makes…

#1488² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E8 – THE END OF MOTORSPORT
The end is near. Either this, or I am just getting older. Normal Motorsport fans watch other people drive in circles. Cool motorsport fans want to do it themselves. But how should someone afford racing when it is so expensive? The answer is quite simple. They can’t afford it. Sim…

#1474² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E7 – NEED FOR SPEED
It’s not just a title, it’s an addiction. The need for speed is real. Once you have experienced the thrill, your brain will tell you to do it over and over again. As the saying goes, “It’s not the speed that kills you, it’s the sudden stop”, taking a break…

#1457² RACING IS LIFE² – S9 E6 – A BREAK
Sometimes less is more. Sometimes this is just an excuse. A break is not what I wanted, a break is what I got. I could try it, I could overdo it again, but I don’t want. I want to get fit before trying again. I want the issues to disappear.…
