#1154² RACING IS LIFE² – S8 E1 – 7 YEARS OF RACING SIMULATOR PRACTICE

Gosh, I am getting old… Is it really 7 years already? Wow! Time is flying! Am I still as hyped as on day number one? Hell yes I am! In fact I might be even a bit more hyped! Why? Because the more experienced you are the faster and safer…

#1121² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E11 – BEHAVE IN PUBLIC TRAFFIC

Yes, it’s Germany! Yes, there are some roads unlimited. But that doesn’t mean you are on a race track. It’s relatively simple. Behave, give others the room they need, don’t be a reckless fool. But in reality it’s so much harder, isn’t it? While the most of the people drive…

#1110² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E10 – JUST ROLLING

I kept my promise. I tried so hard to stop. But there comes a day when you just have to get back to it. Yes, I was driving on the simulator again… but don’t judge me. It was the greatest thing ever! And come on, I am just rolling around!…

#1098² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E9 – NO SIMULATOR PRACTICE FOR THE MOMENT

With my health issues keeping me away from my usual life, I took the decision to stop racing on the simulator for the moment. For sure it would help me to switch off and relax, but it is also increasing my stress level and causing my neck issues to get…

#1086² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E8 – I HAD TO DRIVE AGAIN

It’s tempting to walk past the racing simulator. It’s even more tempting to sit right next to it working from home. I had to get back onto the virtual roads. I just had to. Was it a good idea? I guess the answer is no, but at least I enjoyed…

#1076² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E7 – ANOTHER BREAK

With my health issues still in place, my racing practice has to wait. It’s hard for me to stop, but it’s the only way. I have to figure out what is wrong before it is too late. And even when racing is life, without life racing is not possible. I…

#1065² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E6 – THE PERFECT WEEK

I had the whole week off. Holidays are the days to recover. In my case it looks a bit different I guess. It’s not that I don’t try to recover and relax a little bit, but usually I end up in something we can call a perfect week. Eat, sleep,…

#1054² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E5 – DRIVING A MANUAL CAR AGAIN
Who would have guessed that automatic cars will take over the world one day? Ok, they do not literally take over the world, at least not with the current autonomous driving performances, but I was of course referring to the car market here in Germany. Since my Golf said goodbye…

#1042² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E4 – WHY DOING LESS IS NOT ALWAYS BAD

In the last half year I was spending less time on the simulator than ever before. Ok, not true, but at least for the last 7 years. Sure, someone could assume that I got worse because of the lack of training when in fact it’s the complete opposite. Instead of…

#1032² RACING IS LIFE² – S7 E3 – THE FUTURE OF MOTORSPORT

With my body recovering from my covid infection I spend the last weekend in bed trying to keep up with the motorsport world. Formula One in Imola with F2, F3 and the Porsche Supercup, the second NLS race and the 12h race in spa. There was a lot going on…
