Well, I'm the squirt here, only a mere 19(20 in march
) and i could be around cars like that all day long, all freakin' year to be honest. I was thankfully raised in a family of motorsport enthusiasts in contrast to the usual greek way of life(it being: soccer soccer soccer and...oh!soccer :nope:). Even though i was around modern forms of motorsport at the beginning, something strange grabbed me and threw me a few decades back
. Knowledge of those times seems almost natural to me now :think:. That era is indeed way before my time. And in my opinion, it was the era of intuitive driving. But not as in less technical from a driving point of view. On the contrary, those times
were described by purely technical driving,timing and judging of certain situations. In other words, what i crave for. Cars were dirtier, driver comfort was minimal and despite all that, one had to be silkier than silk in some series when driving those cars. One had to keep the fastest of paces on circuits and courses "dying" to introduce them to farms, cliffs, stone walls and the lot. Bravery was measured in ball size. Those days you wouldn't really be able to fit a driver into a 6-point harness

Since i was a long time GPL fan, GTL wasn't a starting point by any means, it was just my sim-gateway to another chapter i dearly love. Touring cars. And i also got to drive one of my personal favorites of all time...The Renault Alpine. I remember when i saw it for the first time a few years back, my reaction was simply: :jawdrop:. It looked so beautiful to me. Everyone passed by not even looking at all the historic cars in that garage at a rally meeting i attended. I just sat there and stared in absolute awe probably for 40 mins or so
.
So when i play GT Legends or something of the sort, to me, it's purity, sound, feel, bravery, silkiness and much more i can't really put into words

Wall of text, but for some reason i felt like blabbing about rofl
