4,000 Subscribers / 2017 by the Numbers

First off, thank you to all of the amazing subscribers and viewers who made 2017 an amazing year for me by way of sim racing.

I started SimRacing604 in March of 2017 with no aspirations or goals, I just enjoyed ASR Formula’s MP4/6 mod so much I wanted to re-watch hotlaps while I was on the road for work. For some reason a few dozen people watched it, and a few more watched my next videos, and a few more watched videos after that, and so on, and so on.

For those wondering, the turning point was the release of Project CARS 2 and its subsequent updates. I saw a massive spike in viewership at this time.

I’m so proud to be a part of sim racing, and I thank you as a community for welcoming me. I truly love sim racing, and although I will make mistakes, I hope to elevate our pastime in some way, and leave it a little better than I found it.
