Hello
My name is Darren Buckner and i am the assistant editor and Director of video for simrace247.com.
A brief overview about myself and interests:
I have been a long term fan of motorsport with the likes of MotoGP, WEC and Formula 1.
Having grown up with motorsport is something of a passion from watching the all time greats and quote "Legends" of the sports throughout the ages from the likes of Ayrton Senna, Valentino Rossi and many more.
For me an iconic racer (Legend) can take any vehicle/motorbike with any track condition and dominate or stand out as a real achiever. We have all seen those types of racers in the past that are in a team that cannot achieve and the pilot makes the difference and goes onto greater things... that is the underdog, the true racer and someone that is respected no matter what there affiliates are within racing.
That is what drives motorsport forward, it gives hope to the younger generations that believe that they could be that person, it gives the fans/viewers a sense of excitement and entertainment that the underdog is showing the "Big Dogs" who is boss.
That is the thrill of motorsport, we all have our favourite teams and racers, some fans will never sway and that is something to be admired as those are the loyal fans that will stick with you through the great and the hard times.
Everyone loves mods and so many people love Assetto Corsa, combine the two and you could say you have the ultimate sim.L1nus Sim Racing gives his views on his top 5 state side track mods.
