Hello! I’m Mani. A Car nut! Finally got the game but haven’t played it yet 
I don’t remember if I ever made an introduction post despite being here for so long, but I did kind of slightly disappear for quite a while, so hi I guess.
I make music, I make games (that never get finished,) I play games, and I cry about not being able to actually drive my car for reasons.
I also laughed very hard when I read the naming scheme I must have liked when I made my car/engine design threads… I’ll probably make new threads at some point, but I like those ones, but I hate them, etc.
I came here looking for mods and was disappointed when I didn’t find what I was looking for… so I’m considering making my own, but only time will tell if that will happen.
I won’t be active, I’m never active on any forum, but I’ll be here… watching… waiting…

How did you find us? Through Failrace. [size=50]Ily Alex[/size] I watched one of his videos, then he didn’t touch it for a long time, the he did some more and I convinced my fam to let my buy it.
About: So, I’m currently in my third year of high school (Year 11, Age 16) and am a massive car “nerd.” My aspirations when I was younger was to be a car designer, but quickly realized that I was no good at art, so I decided I wanted to teach. I love “Electronic Dance Music” or EDM, with monstercat taking the cake. Massive loves toward Deon Custom, Hyper Potions, Pegboard Nerds, Noisestorm, Rogue, Muzzy, Aero Chord, Pixl, Slips & Slurs, and Barely Alive.
My “Dream Garage” is one that is quite strange. The Fiat was due to the fact I could’ve bought one earlier in the year, but we missed out, so I have made it my life goal to drive one. the BRZ is because BRZ. The i8 is because it is so freakin’ cool. the 037 is due to the “mystique” of the car, and because it looks sick. The Bentley is because there is no replacement for displacement.
I’ve technically been on this forum for a while, however I don’t think I ever posted anything. Or if I did it was a long time ago. Point is I should probably do the introduction thing since I finally have the full game now. Yay for having money!
Name: Not the Stig
Occupation: Full-time race car driver, part-time courtesy clerk at a “one stop shop” store
Location: Somewhere in outer space, likely Gallifrey.
Interests: Racing, Cars, Photography, Gaming, Movies, Music, Doctor Who, Writing
Vehicles Currently Owned: 1996 Ford Probe GT (Mazda MX-6 if you’re outside of the U.S.), 2007 Intrepid Cruiser 30mm chassis w/ IAME Leopard TaG 125cc 2-stroke, and a PVP superkart chassis w/ Honda CR 250cc 4-stroke coming soon for the next racing season. (Vintage of the chassis is unknown at this time, as someone else is preparing this kart for me.)
Dream Garage Vehicles: An ever changing list of vehicles, depending on what sort of stuff I happen to be into at the time. But as a general list, Porsche 917, chassic number 13, Porsche 911 930 Turbo, extensively modified in such a way that you can be certain it’s going to kill you whenever you drive it, and that’s where the list stays the same, after that it’s pretty much always changing, but it usually involves a couple one-off, custom, hand built cars, and production vehicles in varying states of authenticity, as well as the occasional bike or two.
Previous Vehicles of Interest: I have a bitchin’ Hot Wheels collection.
How did you find us? One of my friends posted or liked or shared or something about your game on Facebook, so I looked into it, liked it, and downloaded the demo. I have been using that off and on for a couple years, before I finally got the full game a couple days ago because I finally had some money I could spend.
About: Oh boy, now we can get to the juicy stuff! Story time! Lights, camera, action!
Ok, I was planning on doing this whole big production back story thing with voice overs by Paul Newman and Steve McQueen (computer synthesized voices have come a long way!), but then the producers pulled the plug halfway through filming so that was a bust. So instead you get the synopsis.
I’ve been around and interested in cars for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately that never translated to a mechanical background, as neither of my parents was in the auto industry, and we never had room in the garage to work on cars, much less have a project car of any sort. As far as the garage goes, that situation hasn’t changed. And since we live at the top of a hill, and our driveway is at an angle, the opportunity never presented itself to get under the hood. Nonetheless, my passion for cars, and particularly racing persisted, given that my dad was a huge car nut (and still is), and previously was a rally driver. Every year while it was still around and came to town we would go out the Champ Car races. That, along with car shows, numerous model cars and hundreds of Hotwheels made sure that my passion for the high octane world that is the automobile never died.
Then, at the age of 13 my automotive world entered a whole new dimension. A couple years before at the Champ Car race I saw a booth for a week long, overnight racing summer camp, learning to drive and race go karts. I was hooked the moment I saw it, but the age limit was 12 to 18, I wasn’t old enough. Back into the future, I was finally old enough to go to the camp, and my parents told me if I earned the money for it, I could go. So I spent the next year saving up, and by the time I was 13 I had the money ready to go. At this point my dad started taking it seriously. We started going to local kart races, doing rental sessions at the local track, and looking at used karts on Craigslist. We finally found one we could afford, and next thing I knew I was driving a 60 MPH go kart at the age of 13. More than six years later I’m still racing karts, but now I’m racing them on full size tracks with serious equipment, capable of speeds in excess of 150 MPH and performance comparable to IMSA GT cars, with a second place national title under my belt. It could have been a first, had we had the gearing correct.
So that’s me and my car story. I guess all that’s left is to say ‘Hi’.
Cheers - Racer13
