Yeah, hopefully it's just a ringing in your ears caused by Marty's voice.

Bad news Dick. Hope it is just a temporary thing. Maybe the latest update changed the graphics refresh? Or perhaps those skins you have produced are too psychedelic? A friend of mine became allergic to red wine a while ago. Not sure which would be worse - allergy to red wine or allergy to sim racing  :o ::)

No good to hear Dick, I have had that before turned out to be an ear infection. Was right after a few weeks, and if its more serious ask the doc for anti nausea/sickness tablets over giving up sim racing :P

1) ear infection - inner ear - can cause dizziness.  But it's weird to get it only when sitting in front of a monitor, it's more of a movement-thing as the circular canals get irritated (or eaten away by bacteria!) Still, better get it checked, as it can get very serious.   The reason I've next to no hearing on my right ear...
2) Maybe you're getting older.   You may get used to it if it's just motion sickness, the brain is a funny bugger.  Treat it with smaller doses but regularly, try to seat farther or in a different height, etc.   Don't let it get to the point where it takes hold.  Also; this is easy to help with anti-nausea or sea-sickness tablets.  They are pretty effective.

But maybe see an ear specialist, first...

You guys are awesome.
Thank you all for your concerns and thoughts!
I feel totally fine. No ear drama. that i can tell. Till I play / watch AC.. I should try a different car game... But i'm sure I will get dizzy. I keep thinking it's my eyes+brain sending wrong signals now that I've started concentrating on looking at apexes harder.. cause if i look away from the track it settles a bit. but the moving sensation still starts me spinning.
I've lived at sea for 3 years working on pearl farms (not as romantic as it sounds) and never sea sick,
  anyway, i'll just give it a rest for a week or something. I'm seeing the doctor next week.. As I'm still trying to get rid of this rash I got from Marty's server..

EDIT: I'm also blaming my diet. Not enough vegies or something.

People change, mate.  I've been able to play Descent as a young chap w/o ever getting motion sickness...

But here's one more thing to try; set the FoV (field of view) to something else.   I always have trouble with fps games that has the FoV set to low (50-60 degrees horizontal).  Also those where they change the FoV when you do something - like GTA V. 
Interestingly, I've no problems in driving games as long as the FoV is constant.

The brain is a weird and sensitive instrument....

Or just do a self diagnosis based on what Google throws up.
