Long time viewer, first time commenter. You're modest when you say you originally stood out largely because few people were doing what you were doing. The reason you've always stood out is because you also just seem like a good guy. That alone is unusual in the youtube gamer space. I'm sure I'm not just speaking for myself when I say that watching you transition into real world racing, and then actually being good at it too, makes all of us who've been with you for a long time incredibly proud. You deserve your success mate.

I've commented many times how your content changed my life but here it goes again. I struggled with addiction for a long time. I tried many times to get clean but failed miserably. When I found your channel, I didn't even know about sim racing. I was immediately hooked and having something to pour my time and energy into was crucial in keeping me sober. I'm now 7 years clean and have an awesome sim rig; something I could never have afforded in the past. Seeing you succeed in racing reminds me of how far I've come. Thank you for all you do Steve. You quite literally may have saved my life.

Because of you I've been actively watching more motorsport series, bought my own simrig and pretty much turned into the massive car-nerd I am today.

What you said about having nothing going on and wanting something to talk about and be proud of, that really resonated with me. I've been in the same position, but what I've put time into is writing and painting rather than sim racing. It really made me kind of emotional to hear from somebody who was in a very similar situation as I am now (I even have a warehousing job!) and who found something they cared about, put time into and kept with, and found success.

I feel like a long time friend of yours, even though you don't know me nor have you ever seen me. But, your racing style, commentating style and overall style of creating videos just work. Educative and humourous, while being very skillfull at what you do makes such great content. Seeing you win in real life races is a cherry on top. Hope to see you in GT 3 soon and keep the content coming!

I love what you have done. I'm an old guy that spent boat loads of time on a PC based GT racing sim back in the late 90's. I had the force feedback wheel and pedals. I loved it !! Working out tire pressure and brake bias on different tracks and I got really good. There is nothing boring about Racing if you can translate the experience effectively whether it's in Sim or IRL. This is what you have done. While there is no physical threat when Sim racing, Your heart rate will go UP in a massive spike, Your grip on the wheel and determination to "manage" the situation to not only survive, but come out ahead. This is what it's all about. Love your channel. Can you hook up a heart monitor and show it during your races ? It would be absolutely Wild.

It's an incredible journey Steve. Something to be truly proud of. There is always a smidge of luck involved but much of the luck you make yourself by putting in the hard work. The 'luck' part is that hard work being noticed by the right people at the right time. Looking forward to the rest of your drive! :)

I remember in 2013 looking for Forza 4 videos trying to learn how to drive/race (mainly because I had the rude awakening that Need For Speed was not as realistic), I found a video of you and literally learning a lot about the technical side of racing (im still trash). From your stuff I learnt about how apexes work, driving lines, fast in slow out and etc. That was a real eye opener and got me more interested in racing more than drifting. I was watching SLAP, AR12 and BlackPantha back then but they mainly showed drift or more street content which I was slowly weening off. I ended up buying GT6 too because of learning from your Forza vids and trying to race in a somewhat "Real Driving Simulator". But damn the channels grown since then and I'm glad I found the channel. You're literally the only KZfaqr that I've consistently watched since back then now that I've realized lol

Steve, All my life I've loved motorsport and cars, and DREAMED of racing something and ever since a started watching you videos you've made me realise how possible it is. I've always thought of you as an inspiration, and after a good few years of karting, I've been lucky enough to get my own junior rotax kart this year. I just want to say thank you for all of your content and I hope you never stop.

you influenced me to get a racing sim setup about 3 years ago. You've created a lot of great memories for me, thank you

I have been watching you since your first Gran Turismo videos. It's amazing, and every time you take a break, I keep checking my notifications and your channel to see new videos or to watch the old ones. Your channel is just perfect! Keep working hard because I feel blessed to support you even further. I can say my most favorite video is 'Gran Turismo Sport: Yet Another Ridiculously Close Race,' racing an MX-5 around Laguna Seca.

Still remember the time when you strictly posted FM and FH videos, as a long time GT player you were the reason why I picked up Forza and it was a great casual experience. I, and quite a lot of other people have seen you blossom into a bigger and better person. Please keep it up and hopefully that F1 seat will give you a call soon.

I remember casually being into Forza Horizon 4 and finding your videos, your style of video made me a huge fan of GT Sport and I found myself always watching your races. I've never been interested in any other racing/driving channels. Great job! :)

I watch a lot of KZfaqrs but you are one of few (if not the only one) I watch videos of in their entirety without skipping seconds. You may have changed in your driving style, your way of speaking or editing videos, but your willingness to be hilarious yet competitive and informative is something you’ve been having since the beginning and it’s the thing you never changed about yourself. That demands admiration and respect. More than once you inspired me to get on gt sport or gt7 and try to follow your ghost in a time trial or replicate a race you did. We even raced together a few times in daily race C and you proved yourself to be really fast, correct and hard to overtake. I began following you in the early gt sport days and what I’ve seen from you is only the beginning. Thanks for the countless hours of entertainment, I know there’s still a lot more to laugh about ❤

Great story! I hope you're on track of where and who you want to be. You've certainly worked hard for this and I wish you well. I've only recently picked up (casual) sim racing as a hobby and you've been a huge influence. I don't even care about winning that much, just enjoying the experience and improving my own track times.
