Racing games have always been special to me. There's not like a deep rooted backstory, or traumatic experience it helped me overcome, it's just always been something I loved. It started with me and my older brother playing Ford vs Chevy on the Xbox, and Gran Turismo 3 on the Playstation 2. I continued to race with him up to Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3, and he just eventually had to move out and live his own life. I still race his old Best Lap ghosts from time to time, and I'm still struggling to catch up on my own save game, but I'll get there. The thing about racing games is that, while there is always a goal, it will never been fully achievable. You can always improve, but it's the thrill of finding that new technique that rockets you above your old times that you just don't find in very many competitive games nowadays.
