    Good bye @Jay Ekkel and good luck in Paris!

    "+10 years SimBin, +1 year Sector3 Studios. Time has come to pass the torch of longest standing team member to the next in line.

    Even though yesterday it was my final day at Sector3 Studios, there is still plenty to come with regards to content that will knock your socks off over the months to come!

    I wish all the best to the guys (sadly no girls on the team), they are busting their balls on a daily basis. Proven by the massive RaceRoom patch yesterday, which is another step up from anything previously done by the chaps in the studio. Keep it up!

    I will be heading towards Paris today to start the next chapter of my life/career with a new studio/team. To who I look forward to meet for the first time this week.

    So interesting days ahead, followed by a (if i may say so) well deserved vacation to down under!

    the thread title makes it sound like that I left after I cleaned it real good! ;)

    Thanks for the kind words, ill still roam the forums as i used too, but will no longer can or have the insights of this project.

    See you guys on track!

    Good luck Jay and thank you for everything you have done over the years buddy.

    You will be missed mate, we all appreciate the hard work you (and the team) have put in since the early days.

    Take care and good luck.

    I got a terrible feeling this was my fault. I'm so sorry for all the teasing and mocking, Jay. ;)
    Come to think of it, Paris is the place to go for a pink-shirted, well groomed man. ^^
    I do hope you cleaned up good before leaving. :p

    So sad to see you leaving, you've been an exemplary member of a great development team. Without you and your open(-minded) ways this project and thise forum wouldn't have been the same.

    It was a joy to be in touch with you each and every time and you'll be missed badly.


    Now get your dutch ass outa here. If, in your new job in Paris, you happen to receive some Euro 2016 tickets, please pass them on, you won't have any good use for them anyway.

    Cheers fella

    Thank you Jay for the many many Simbin products that I have enjoyed over the years and your fantastic work on Raceroom.

    I hope the next step in your career will be equally as rewarding.
