AC is my favourite of the sims but I'm always having trouble finding servers where the players actually race instead of playing destruction derby


Smashing people off the road is an underrated tactic.  I practice this on Marty and others during prac. sessions which works well!

Welcome aboard.  Lots of helpful people here and Wally is a coding genius who puts together heaps of cool features for the league.  If you want good racing on the public servers then keep an eye out for Marty's servers.  The racing is normally pretty good on those and he runs Minorating which is like the safety rating in iracing.

We also practice on the XGN servers which are dotted about - I don't think they are passworded but no doubt Wally will PM you the pword.

Hey all, I'm Jake from the Gold Coast. 29 years old, working from home and living the bachelor life.

Brand new to simracing and racing in general. I'll admit I've never been a car person - I drive a Mazda 3 and 99% of my time at the Indy/GC600 is spent looking for boobies - but for some reason I recently had the urge to get a racing wheel and give simracing a go. I picked myself up a G27 off Gumtree, bought a couple games (AC, Project Cars, Dirt Rally, Wreckfest and a free 3-month trial for iRacing) and have been having so much fun with it over the past couple weeks. It's basically consumed me, when I'm not racing or working I'm watching youtube videos on how to improve my lap times or day dreaming about my future 6DOF motion simulator with Occulus Rift sim rig.

AC is my favourite of the sims but I'm always having trouble finding servers where the players actually race instead of playing destruction derby with each other. I'm here because you guys seem to take the racing more seriously while still having a lot of fun- looks like a great little community. Hoping to get involved with the league next year.

Anyway I'm looking forward to meeting you all on the track and hit me up if you want to race.

Cheers

Sin, Cj to friends.

34, about to get married. 3 children, my son will no doubt start on here in the future when he wants a crack at Dad on the track. Ride really fast bikes for fun, I teach kids basic dirt biking skills during school holidays.

Was part of the XGN  BHD crew, although a later starter with that one and then Joint Ops.

Military full time until recently, Infantry if you're curious. I am also a sparky by trade. Applying for Emergency services, not sure how that will go as I am bit broken from the Army. Yay

Forza fan, AC convert. I have Pcars aswell but haven't really done anything in that yet because AC seems to be enough for now. I build my own sets.

Only really driving the Ford Escort at the moment, I love that car and it's helping me learn the tracks as well as how to tune the handling.

RSR live timing - Chris Harvey
Steam - Sin_23

Race number 23. 023 or 230 when 23 is already taken.

Looking forward to racing more, being away less and learning lots from those aliens in the group.

Cheers.

I am sure the community here can help in a small way.

Hey everyone, Paul here

I've been into sim racing for a while now, playing rFactor 1/2, Gran Turismo 5 (If that counts) and now Assetto Corsa. I've been racing with a lot of you XGN guys lately and was told to come check your website out and join in for some events and have some fun!

I'm 27, live in NSW and do IT Networking. I've been into cars heavily since I first got behind a wheel and quickly found myself getting into drifting, and over time really started to enjoy the competitive nature of racing, there's always a way to be better and it's a big draw for me. I tend to be a really competitive driver, and while not fast as some of you guys, am always pushing to try and be faster than my last lap and to beat the other drivers on track :p My Steam ID is "penguintwitch" if any of you want it.

I look forward to continuing to drive with you guys as it's been a bunch of fun already!

p.s. Please give Marty a 100kg ballast on all servers :)

G'day Paul and welcome to XGN. It's not Marty you need to worry about, it's Guybrush. Shake hands with him in pits... it's the last you'll see of him until he's standing on the podium.

Welcome to the fray Paul, good to see you join up mate.

I'm not as quick as the myth seems to be!  We all give each other a run for our money, or lack there-of :)  I think you'll mix it up well towards the front of the pack, as long as Marty doesn't smash you off the track that is.
