Can I just say, when I first found out at we had disembarked the GenR ship, I was somewhat optimistic, feeling asthough the team was going to go south pretty quickly, however after spending a few weeks seriously in the team servers and regularly (as I can) posting and reading around the forums, I feel as though it has almost brought us together as a team that little bit extra, and this will definitely be a change for the better in the long run at least.
Now onto the stuff which most of you probably aren't particularly interested in, however I will give it my best.
As most of you will already know my name is Luke; I am 17 years young and due to be 18 in 36 days, hurrah!
I first started LFS more or less 4 years ago through people i used to race with IRL, and for the latter part of the game, I 'flippin loved it. Conveniently enough my first servers which I had the pleasure to experience where the AA servers, on the other hand 4 years ago I was in the peak of my devious youth, and enjoyed crashing more than racing haha.
After about 2 months of coming on to crash everyday I made a fortunate leap in the right direction when I discovered that I would use a PS3 pad, to race about with. This brought the game into a whole new perspective, and I was well on my way to setting competitive times, I was in heaven. After a few months of this it occurred to me that pad indeed is only useful for one thing.. open wheel racing. This is when I took up racing FBM in the MRc servers, and started getting on the pace and putting away some laps. Another year went by racing the FBM and I was in my prime, when I was offered a time in the converted FBM section of the MRc squad. This was a massive leap from being a solo racer jumping straight into being a Limad, personally I didn't enjoy my time with the team, as they are known for having slap dash servers and less than gentlemanly racing ethics. After about 7 months of racing with MRc my spell was up, almost forced out of the team for something I didn't commit. I had been set up.
Almost immediately after being dispelled from the team, my never say die attitude got the better of me and I invested in a Logitech G25 wheel, another unforeseen turn in my racing career, this is when I first started racing with the XFG in not just AA servers but an array of servers of all kind. 1 year had gone with the wheel and it had just decided to give up on me. (funny story behind it) when my wheel packed in so did I, I hung up my racing uniform and departed LFS and went to look for better games.
There is only so much LFS you can go without before you have to admit you are completely and utterly an addict and just have to get back to it, so after about 8 months of having no racing equipment, I chanced my fortune at seeing if the warranty was still in-tact for the wheel. My luck was in, and another month after messing around with customer services, I received a package, a certain smile came over me that only a young boy would get upon opening a package, it wasn't a new shiny G25, oh no. What I saw was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my entire life, it was A G27 with a sorry note. That was it I was completely sold.
The wheel was installed immediately and I was back to my old roots, where I belonged. LFS.
Shortly after the racing career was re-viatalised I was offered a place in the BRT (Balkan Racing Team) at the time I was very excited to join as when I was with them, they were a popular and fast team and it just felt right, on the other hand, it occurred to me shortly after joining that hardly anyone fluently spoke my language which was a downer, however everyone did try and for a certain amount of months we got by.
After an attack from another team which stole %80 of the team, I was outraged and didn't feel like I belonged with this team anymore, so once again, I went back to solo. Another 6 months had passed and I was getting to the point where I felt like I needed to belong to a certain team, the best team that has ever existed in the history of LFS, and of course you all know the answer; AirAttack Racing. Ever since I started the game, the best team had always been AirAttack, and thousands of people have always aspired to join the team.
So after another month I managed to pluck up the courage to submit my application and then after 2 weeks, it was it. Fate, i had successfully joined the team, and with no team have I ever felt so comfortable racing.
And to sum it all up, this is where I have aspired to be, and this is where I am. Thankyou for reading.
Lukey.
P.S ( At college one of my courses is English literature, so I thought this maybe a good writing exercise ^_^
