Total noob despite the account creation date

I've been wanting to get into sim racing for years, just recently bit the bullet and got myself a nice wee sim rig off a guy on Trade Me who was moving overseas.
I live south of Dunedin and it was up in Christchurch. Finally got the rig after weeks of waiting and got the thing home.
Came over here to KSR which I've been stalking for the past month or so while I waited to pick the rig up.
Tried to register and lo and behold there is already an account associated with this email.
Joined November 2016. Goes to show how long I've been holding out to actually buy a wheel. Haha
I've mucked around in a multitude of sims since getting it a couple of weeks ago. Mostly Assetto Corsa but I installed rFactor 2 and it's associated bits today because I know that's what is used on here.
I've been playing around with that some and it feels really good. I like the feel of driving in Automobilista more than any other sim I've tried, which I'm led to believe uses a modified version of the rFactor 1 engine? That might explain the feeling of rFactor 2 that I like.
I feel confident enough that I can actually get a car round a track now without overshooting every corner.
It took me some time to get a consistent feeling of braking without actually feeling my body slow down with the car.
I think I've got the basics down so I'd love to get involved in some online racing.
Like I read some one say on here, I'll learn 10 times as much in a single online race as I will offline.
Cheers, Luke
