Hello everyone,
Im Denis, 23, from Germany (-1) and I'm a passionate racing & GTA fan. Started playing GTA back in around 2005 (mostly doing nonsense in Vice City, being way too young for such a game), loved driving cars in San Andreas and hated the bouncy car physics in IV. Coming to V, I bought it by release, played offline for quite a few years and joined online just half a year ago. Boyy does the general community suck... Especially when it comes do racing.
My racing experience in GTA Online is not all that much, 30 races won, 100 lost, quite bad I guess, but I'm starting to get used to it. Before massively investing my time into GTAO, i played quite a few other racing games. Had a Thurstmaster FFB wheel for quite a bit, raced in Assetto Corsa & rFactor 2, but put the most time into Automobilista. And wasted quite some time in several Dirt games and stuff. Sold the wheel because of being tight on money, so im back with the gamepad, playing GTA.
Outside of PC racing i love reallife motorsport. Started watching F1 in 2014, heard of it before (the radio stations were full of it when Sebastian Vettel won the fourth title, mildy annoyed of him), became a Danny Ric fanboy (or just passionate) quickly, hence my username, and did not miss any race since '14. Other racing series' I like watching are Formula E, F2, WRX... Lost touch with DTM sadly.
Well, coming from that background I'd like to race, ye not being crashed out on lap 1 turn 1 every time, but race. I'm not the most skilled person ever, I'm lacking quite a bit of pace and consistancy but for me its fun to race and feel the heartbeats when being in a duel right before the finish line. I hope I can find this here. From the 130 races I did in random lobbys, maybe 3 races gave me that feeling. And I think all of them were max. 5 people lobbies.
