I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, but even today in the morning I didn’t think I would end up kissing RR3 goodbye before the end of the day.

It’s been quite a long time since I installed the app back in April 2015. This game has helped me develop a hunger to take my real cars to the real race track, and eventually last year to pass my two-day test to qualify for a Swiss Racing license. Back in the beginning it also helped me understand how to find the racing lines, the braking points, when to start accelerating, etc.

But I have also spent friggin’ 92 days of my life playing this game. That’s 138 full days excluding sleep time. Over three and a half months!! Over 2,200 hours I could have spent with my wife and kids, or walking my dog, sleeping or reading. And I sincerely don’t feel like keeping up any more amid all my responsibilities at work, with my family, and my goals in real-real racing. Well, real-real track days for the time being at least. I don’t find the motivation any longer, either. I’ve been a solid group B WTTT player for a very long time. This week I’m bottom of group C and honestly I don’t even feel like trying. I feel it won’t make any difference. And it doesn’t, really. I have a FU MP4-X so I could have been very competitive in OMP, but I’ve played a few races and to be honest, in the last days it’s been a disaster as my mind was asking me “what are you doing?” the whole time. And spending hours to win some RR3-spec Mazda? Nah.

I’m saying goodbye with some 90% career completion, a 8.6K gold stash, and some 56M R$ on my account. I have all cars but two Nascars, and I’m proud to never have cheated and to not have abused of exploits —well, in fact I always learnt about exploits when it was too late! Am I really proud? Well, no, not really. Who cares after all.

I want to thank many a wikia member for the tips, the (mostly) good atmosphere, and for making this a very dynamic, participative community.

I will still look at a couple of threads out of curiosity, but no more RR3 for me.

Take care 👋🏼
