Yeah, when I look back at those videos, I was amazed at how good the racing & netcode was 14 years ago.

I was kinda appalled at how long I've been playing computer racing games. When will I ever grow up?I was genuinely surprised when YouTube said those videos were 14 years old.

Man, I wish I found one I did where the soundtrack was The Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz", and I had a little video inset of the pit crew dancing whenever the chorus came up. That one's lost in the mists of time.

Well, we only had a b/w TV set when I was a little kid...

But before GTL the good times were with LFS.   The online part of that is still unparalleled IMO.

When I was a kid my uncle got one of those fancy VHS recorders with a remote...with a cord lol.
Playing Test Drive on C64 with a joystick when I was young but gran turismo on ps1/2 and forza on xbox is what I was doing when you guys were making these videos. A GT Legends video on yootoob made me switch to pc although I didn't really get into much until recent years.
Sims are pretty good these days AC has had a good run.

You shouldn't be getting sore. Is your set up OK, seat height, distance from wheel etc etc?
