Hi everyone.
My name is Jack Roussy and normally go by CaTaPulT and (Jack Shannon on iRacing, long story. lol).
I'm 55 years of age and just retired on January 11th 2014. Yippee! finally! LOL
My hobbies are Simracing, Drumming (Electronic drums), watching movies, and whatever else tickles my fancy.

I've played various driving games in the past with a joystick (the early NSF series and others), I bought my first wheel (DFGT) when Racedriver Grid came out on the PS3, that was the bug, many wheels later, on my 3rd cockpit, and so on, I use pretty much all sims, Race07 (still my favorite), GTR2, GTL, rFactor 1 & 2, Assetto Corsa, Dirt 1,2,3, Euro Truck Simulator and iRacing.
My views on iRacing seem to go with some of the other comments on here. It's way too expensive for what it is thus the reason I still only have base content after 3 years of iRacing. I don't really know why I stay with it, it's kind of a love/hate relationship. I'm not a great driver and it takes me a long time to learn and get use to how a car feels, but with iRacing frequent update, it seems they are hellbent on making the cars as difficult to drive as possible, even the MX5 (Rookie series) used to be fun, now it's a lot more slippery than it use to be thus why I call the service IceRacing.
My membership is due for renewal in July, don't know if I'll bother, if I do, it will have to be on a 50% off membership deal.
My reason for still loving Race07 is the simplicity of it and for me, it seems easier to drive (with aids off) than anything else out there.
Take care
