I always knew this day would come, but never expected it to be here so soon. A day I dreaded waking up on, but also comes as a sigh of relief.
As of today, I am retiring from my role as Founder, Owner, and Driver from Paradox Sim Racing.
I have also requested out of respect for my connection to PSR, a team I started long ago, the name retires with me. Which means soon enough, the mighty drivers in our community will no longer bear the PSR name. They have accomplished so much as a team and I owe them all the credit for where we have gotten to today. I wish them nothing but the best and hope those who do carry on in the community find a home worthy of their talents, attitudes, and friendships.
If you're wondering why today, here's the simple explanation... I've hit the point in my life where things like the league racing community have begun taking a back seat. My focus is constantly elsewhere right now, between my work, my girlfriend Emma, my dog Max, and my real life obligations. I don't have the same desire to grind the game as I once did because I don't have endless time to spend on it. I'm barely online and able to help where I know I'm needed with my team. I wish it was more like Covid times when I had the freedom to focus on this daily, but it's not anymore.
And I'm at peace with my decision, because I've accomplished more than I would have ever dreamed in online racing. Never did I expect to buy a sim racing rig and end up in the F1 Challengers Series less than a year later, not once but twice! This is something many of you will experience in the coming years, from going all in to becoming a casual player. It's part of growing up. My heart wants to stay but my head knows it's time to go. And this will allow me to focus on my career and relationships, two things that have time and time again taken a back seat to PSR.
I will still be around, both on F1 and iRacing, but most likely in a casual setting. I hope to have more success alongside my many racing friends in whatever events come my way. I also hope if we've interacted over the last few years, you have enjoyed our chats together and that I've had a positive impact on your life. And if not, I can only apologize and hope that if we do cross paths again, things are different. Feel free to stay in touch and I hope to race with you all again soon.
Until next time,
Andrew Corapi
