I want to try for the Daytona 24 Hour!

Reminder: there's a Black Friday sale on until November 30, with subscription renewals 25% off. Best do it now for that excellent iRacing value for money.

Thanks! Almost forgot, and my renewal date is Dec 4th, so almost got charged full price too.

I think you and I are the only ones left here that race regularly. I mean, maybe. We're the only ones that post about it. :shrug:

Blerpa, how is your racing going lately? Retsmah? Anyone? Bueller?

I'm gonna try to get back into it now that I've moved and have the room to set my "rig" back up. Of course baby on the way, so it may be temporary.

Hi guys, sorry I did not reply earlier.

Lately I was more busy doing community hosted 4Fun races in order to organize a Prototype (GTP, LMP2 and HPD) community championship for January 2024 but, suddenly, friday 10th of November I ended up in the ER after two days of throwing up and having uncontrollable permanent vertigo.
I got labyrinthitis: at the hospital they thought it was viral, like triggered by an infection, almost a month passed under many medicines and very few progresses has been done, I did go to another ENT (sp?) doctor this last monday which was far more scrupolous, gave me different medication and hypothizes it actually could be bacterial, so possibly something caused by a tick bite (I'm trying to not panic thinking it could be Lyme); I've done many blood tests, results should be available on saturday.

Anyhow, new ENT doctor did again the "head manouvers" on me: so far I can finally walk almost straight, my head still often gets dizzy and goes round at the minimal movement, I get quickly fatigued (I'm a recluse at home 99% of the time) and I can just read things (book, smartphone, tablet, kindle) or watch videos on TV (first two weeks I could not at all see any moving images without my eyes going around and feeling bad).
I've tried to stay at PC but I get nausea and everything spins around after half an hour I'm sit down in front of a monitor.

I'm temporarily denied to drive in real life, I'm not even trying to get into the rig.
So life majorly sucks at the moment and I can just read and watch what is happening in iRacing and sim world - pretty frustrating.
Hopefully it will be gone or fixed by Christmas.

Can't wait to get back to racing - my team has been very supportive and I've moved on the side just fulfilling my role as team manager: it's a way to feel less useless and less disabled.

Oh no! Sorry to hear. I hope you feel better soon.

[Rare White Ape]

Oh man, sorry to hear it Blerpa. Hopefully they pinpoint it ASAP and get you back up and racing.

I won the Production Car Challenge Ford Mustang FR500S Div. 2 Championship this season.
I came 3rd in Div. 2 Supercars. The two guys that beat me are now Div. 1.
I was THE cleanest driver in the Nissan GTP this season.
