How did you find us: If memory doesn’t fail me, through a forum that had an Automation thread (somewhere during the Kee days), then FailRace… Possibily a combination of both.

About: A car fan since I could speak in Babbling-ish. I own countless car-related objects, from magazines all over the world to scale models, and even pieces of WTCC cars! Avid reader since 1-and-a-half-years-old, I dream of one day releasing a book of my own material. The other dream is visiting the mesmerizing city of Tokyo…

How did you find us: I heard about this game a year ago or so, but then I kinda forgot about it. Some days ago I was watching RCR and I decided to check it on Steam to get it, so here I am now!

About: Well, I’m a 19 years old dude from Argentina, been a car fanatic since I have memory. Guess it all started when I was 4 and saw a red 911 on a parking lot, haha. I’m far from someone with massive knowledge really and I’m always looking to learn some more, that’s why I tend to ask stupid questions sometimes really, I just have a curious nature. Life dreams? well… I just want to make money doing something I enjoy and leave my country for a better one, I’m kinda simple. I like other games, by example I really like Pokemon, but I don’t really game a lot to be totally honest, even if, I won’t lie… I’m getting a bit addicted to Automation!

Previous Vehicles of Interest: '98 Dodge Viper GTS (dropped it since the government doesn’t allow import of used cars)

How did you find us? /o/, back in 2011 (hence my very old account age), lost interest around 2012 because most content is blocked by a paywall, bought the game on Steam mid-2016 and returned to the forum late 2017 once I discovered Automation’s Discord server.

About:
Overall I’m an uninteresting 23 year old guy in person. Shy, has really weird interests, doesn’t understand mainstream topics such as football (both variants) or DotA. But talk about cars and bikes with me and suddenly we are the bestest friends in the world.

I love cars, yet I don’t have an engineering background. That merit is reserved for my grandparents, my uncles, my parents and my siblings. I’m the only one in the family that’s breaking the tradition by taking Fine Arts. Life is pretty good being a Fine Arts student. but it gets pretty depressing once you realize that you are far less productive than your classmates

Usually I hang out in Discord a lot more than I do in the forums.

About:

I’m 21 years old and already up and running in Belgian politics. Besides that it appears I’m also a student and an intern at a rapid growing company.

My interest in mechanics and design sparked when at the age of 4 I got really obsessed with trains (still am and now also with trams). At the age of 14 I became a volunteer at the local railroad museum and I started restoring an older steamtrain. Now I’m a certified trainguard/tramguard/shunter yet I don’t have my drivers license yet. The fact that I can and am allowed to drive trains and trams before having my car drivers’ license is something to be proud of?

About:
I’m 19 and I live in Poland. I loved cars since I was a small kid - it is my passion. Although I somehow can’t learn all the mechanics cars have, I feel like at home when I sit behind a wheel. I’d love to be a part of some car project someday. Hope to have a good time!

Hi, I’m Smooth.
I am 20 years old.
I like cars. Wouldn’t really align myself with one particular nationality of car.
I especially like American and Australian cars, but also a variety of japanese and european cars.
I also like history and geology.
Do I have a car? No. Do I want one? Would be nice but not a necessity.
What kind of car would I love to own? I like Ford. An old Bronco perhaps. But I also like the Chevy Monte Carlo. Maybe a european Granada Wagon.
