A rather broad question when taken at face value, but some of the replies and results from one of our previous community polls asking the question, What makes racing fun for you?, were very insightful.
Coming in a close second was finishing the race with a clean record, no scratches or damage to any mechanical elements or bodywork. This can be hard, especially when racing online against unpredictable opponents, but when it does occur and you have a fantastic, clean race, it's a feeling like no other in the world of sim racing.

Finally, we had a lot of our community describe the emotions behind a race, and it all comes back to the sim racing mantra of "The cars and tracks might not be real, but the racing is.

Other Results
Some of the smaller bars on our horizontal bar chart of results show that qualifying on pole and leading the pack down to turn one is not top of the wanted list for sim racers, somewhat of a surprise, but the action happens further back.The South-American Supertourismo mod for Assetto Corsa
