Hello
I don't know what to say lol

I'm not really experienced with forum stuff. I figured I could get out of my bubble and participate after lurking around here for quite a while
My name's Berke. I'm new to motorsports culture. I don't do simracing for my lack of gear but I do play Gran Turismo 7 with a controller. My love for racing mostly came from trying out Gran Turismo 4 a year ago. Until then my knowledge was bound to mainstream arcade racers and road cars so I wasn't much familiar with anything motorsport related
My Gran Turismo 4 experience felt incredibly surreal even though it released over 20 years ago. I got exposed to so many diverse racecars that I instantly fell in love with racing. The game's expositive progression helped a lot with the interest as well. Since then I've been slowly learning my way through the history, the racing itself and everything else about it (including simracing.) I've also tried GTR2 for my newly found love of 2000's GT2 category and I'm super interested in doing a full championship sometime (but my controller predictably doesn't function as well so I'll have to resort to mouse steering... it is an old game after all)
I started to watch motorsport series live beginning this year with Creventic's 24h of Dubai and got to fully watch IMSA's 24h of Daytona (actually I fell asleep 15 mins before the fog FCY and woke up from my 5 hour sleep only to realize the track's still on FCY haha

)
It's become addictive! I'm gonna try to follow WEC, NLS, IGTC, DTM and my first F1 season this year as well
There's still a lot for me to learn and I hope to be as experienced and knowledgeable about all this as you all. I don't really have friends so this is also an attempt to break out of my social boundaries. I'm looking forward to being alongside you GT fanatics
