FOUNDER’S JOURNEY
-
Passion for Racing
I have had a deep interest in cars, particularly automobile racing, since childhood. The roar of the engine, the excitement of intense competition, and the unique feeling of driving a car at high speeds are all elements that hold great significance for me. There is no place where I feel more content than when I am behind the wheel of a high-performance vehicle or race car.
-
Seasonal Track Life
Residing in a region of the United States where track availability spans only six or seven months, I experience a sense of anticipation every April when the car is taken out of the garage and the track season begins. Conversely, I feel somewhat melancholic during October, marking my final departure from the track for the year. The intervening months before the next track season can seem unending.
-
Unexpected Setbacks
A few years ago, my exit from the last track session of the year was abrupt due to a castrophic engine failure that ended the day and the season prematurely. This initiated a multi-year rebuild complicated by parts availability and logistical challenges. Additionally, a steering rack failure occurred, further delaying my return to the track. Ultimately, it took two years to complete the rebuild and resume track activities.
-
Sim Racing Discovery
Maintaining my track skills presented a significant challenge, which sim racing effectively mitigated. A friend, whose son was actively competing in sim racing, recommended it as a means to keep my skills sharp. This allowed me to practice on familiar tracks and compete against other racers, aiding in both the maintenance and improvement of my abilities. The importance of constructing that initial simulator and mastering competitiveness in the virtual realm became evident upon my eventual return to actual track racing.

Unexpected Setbacks
This experience served as the impetus for founding P1 Sim Sports. The objectives of this company are threefold. Firstly, it aims to support other racers in maintaining and enhancing their racing abilities; our inaugural customer was an amateur racer who had recently relocated and sought an efficient means to become competitive on a new series of tracks, without the financial and personal risks associated with renting track time. Secondly, the company strives to assist sim racers in refining their skills. Thirdly, it seeks to facilitate the entry of new participants into the exciting world of sim racing.
