We have enough ethnocentrism around IOW to float a boat. That is a good thing because it causes us to take pride in our particular form of the hobby we all love.
Whenever someone make an ethnocentric remark it is made to reinforce their beliefs that what ever form of the hobby that they are pursuing is relevant.
Their are probably at least two particular types of SIM racers.
1. The racer that just can't find enough time in the day to race as much as they want to race and resort to Rental Go Karts, SIM, or anything else around that moves and they can compete competitively with one another.
2. The Racer that for some reason or another can not or does not have the opportunity to race in a real race car and on a real race track. And to reinforces their love for racing they rely on SIM for their gratification.
The number 1 drivers are what make the sport great, these are the guys that truly love racing, they make no distinction on the race track. They don't care if you are a NASCAR Champion or the guy next door their only objective is to outrace you. They in the process make the sport much more relevant to the fans because of these associations with their fans.
The number 2 drivers are also very important because they offer the sounding board and competition that makes this particular form of racing work. After talking with a few people I will concede that SIM is in fact a form of racing, just like Midget, Sprint Car, Mini Sprint, or Hornet. They are raced by racers that LOVE RACING.
To many of you number 2 races out their>>>go to some actual races>>>sign in the pits>>>introduce your selves to the racers whither they be SIM racers or not. They share your love of racing as much as you do. We personalty can not find help at the race track and would love someone with the passion on our team and I bet many other racers are in the same boat as we are.
