I’ve come to a decision to stand down from working for RSC as some of you may have guessed by the announcement asking for someone to take over what I do. I have decided to finish a few things I have either promised I’ll do or feel I can’t leave without finishing, but after that I can’t see myself coming back as staff.

It’s difficult to remain happy about what I’ve been doing when the work I do prevents me from doing what I like to do. I’ve been doing this for nearly 5 years, seriously (with little free time) for about 3.

The last time I drove a racing sim was when I was at Spa with SIMBIN (something that made me very happy to be in the position I was), but I haven’t drove a racing sim in any serious way for about 2 years all in all. So I say to myself, what’s the point in loving racing sims and not being able to play them because you’re running a site and reading posts about other people racing them?

This time 4 years ago I was in 11 leagues racing Grand Prix Legends, but I gradually had to drop out as my free time got less and less, I’ve let down people like ESCORS (by joining, doing 1, maybe 2 races – then dropping out as I can’t make races consistently) and I just want to have fun again… I’ve gradually let RSC take over my life and I think I’d like it back.

This decision has been a long time coming, infact over the last year there have been numerous times where the burnout has hit me and I’ve gone away from RSC for 2 weeks, sometimes more… But each time I come back, I came back to 2 weeks PM’s, 2 weeks questions, 2 weeks problems. The other administration staff fully expected me to come to this final decision eventually I think, but that doesn’t make it any easier to decide – I’ve been thinking about this for a long, long time.

RSC is going places, it’s growing bigger and better and with projects like the Emporium that Mikkel has setup – it’s also going places I never really considered when I started out on ‘Legends Central’ (my site which was merged with SimRacing.dk to form RSC), I really think if I come back in a years time to see what’s going on then I’ll not even recognise it and I think that should be pretty exciting for you folks.

Take care of yourselves people.
