You know youve been playing too much R3E when....

....you try to take a screenshot while watching the DTM race on TV.

Now your turn.....

 

You suggest that Mr_Belowski add the question "What (real world) time is it?" in CrewChief because you are too busy racing to look at a clock.

[And he did, God bless him!]

 

You notice that your desktop is strangely empty....then you realise you've uninstalled most other 'sims' but can't remember when.

You see that Project Cars is still in your Steam library, and chuckle to yourself that you could have bought 2 chinese takeaways for the same money.

The wife comes in and happens to mention she could hear 'that racket from down the street'....all you can do is smile as your eyes brim up with tears of joy.

You actually start to consider spending a fortune upgrading your rig like those 'idiots with no life' only this time the word 'investment' starts to get mixed into your thought process.

 

When you sell the family car to buy new wheel & pedals!

Convinced everyone we're on a health drive, river dancing on pedals is a great cardio workout!

 

When you rearrange your entire sleep schedule so you can race your online friends at 4 am.

When your children ask you to please slow down. Because your not driving a sim. "Dad this is real life and your scaring us!!!"

 

When you try to hit the "rear view" button while driving you're real car (yep, I did it )

 

cannot answer, must drive, hehe!

 

When you have to change your Volvo's clutch and tyres every month because you're always revving your engine to 6000 rpms, holding the handbrake, releasing the clutch to its biting point and staring at the driver next to you with a killer look, while waiting for green at every traffic light when going to work.

Wearing a helmet when driving in everyday traffic is probably normal though.

 

As a Volvo driver? That's like wearing three condoms.

 

When you try to use your paddle shifters and all you get is a splash of water to your windshield...

 

That happened to me more than once I pressed the "Volume down" Button on the steering-wheel to see the rear, I felt stupid
-----------------------------------------------------
When you try to find the apex of the turn and wait until the very end to brake every time

When you do heel & toe technique on everyday driving

When you try to enable the pit limiter when entering to the garage

 

I always wear three condoms as well. It reduces sensitivity and thus helps battle my problems with premature ejaculation.

 

A sensitive Volvo driver, who would have thought. ^^

 

When you pass a car on the freeway and you fear that it may move into your lane and push you onto the grass

 

When you try to find the "return to pits" button in your car because it doesnt feel quick enough.

 

I don't know, if three condomes will make the difference.
Anyway, I suggest to wear them in openwheelers only, in tintops it might be a little cramped.

 

....when you desperately trying to switch cameras during a race broadcast or online racing stream....

 

.....when you remove your wheel of your real car.

.....when you smash your face in the windshield for a better FOV.

 

When you see a multipack discount in a supermarket and mistake it for a sale item.

 

When you watch a Youtube Onboard Video and pushing the Button for rear view on your Wheel even if it is Powered off.
