On 18th of March 2007 it was time to finally announce, what a lot of people already expected. SK-Gaming decided to enter into the racing-scene. And im not talking of arcade-racing, no. Im talkin of real racing, with pyhsics close to reality, fights more adrenalin-pushing than getting busted with your girlfriends sister and more difficult than an 100 % accuracy with the Railgun on q3dm6. It's professional e-sport too and everybody who gave, or will give it a try will notice. Simracers are the only gamers that sweat from body-action and not only by concentration on the crosshair or OTB-control and fear of dieing or receiving a goal in a totally scripted situation. No. everything is different every lap, every corner, every second.
Joining SK-Gaming is not only a step for me, but also a step for the racing scene and it's acceptance as professional e-sport, too. It simply means that racing can't get higher anymore, cause it has reached the biggest and most professional Team in E-sport. Now the racing scene can just settle here and prove that it belongs, so the future has just begun.
Everyone who is moaning, that Racing might be boring, is personally invited to message me and ask me for a race (as soon as i have time, sorry), information, hints or anything you want to know. I promise you will all get addicted after some time, when you complete a whole lap without leaving the track for the first time. Don't fear the difficulty in the beginning, by practicing you will get over it.
Yes from time to time I have to admit that it looks boring on ESL-TV or GIGA. But thats why one just can't see the driver being at his total limits. Seeing cars driving behind each other for laps with a 2 tenths gap is uninteresting as long as you did not do it urself. Every mistake could be your last or you loose lots of places. The pressure and concentration while driving gets everything out of you. You have to listen to the engine, to the tyres, feel the wheels Force Feed Back (FFB), whatch tyre temperatures and also have to keep the car on track without over- or understeering, without treating it too much, without destroying the engine by shifting down too early and all that as fast and precise as possible.
Everybody out there believe me, if i say racing is not boring. Cause else i simply would not do it.
Cheers and keep racing buddies, and those who dont already:
TRY REAL RACING!
