A word of thanks and sharing a personal background story (click show more...) Wow! Never did i imagine reaching more than a 1.000 subscribers before the end of 2025. From the bottom of my heart: thank you! Thank you very very much. A 1.000 people who chose to click that subscribe button and show their support.
The background of this channel I started this channel a little over 3 years ago. Back in those days i was simracing on my PS4, driving circles in Gran Turismo Sport. I didn't really know what i was doing when it came to uploading video's or making content. But i did know i liked it. Especially uploading stuff about one of my biggest passions: (sim)racing! Starting with a one of those foldable Playseats and a T150, my girlfriend (at the time) was really supportive! She clearly saw i was enjoying what i was doing. Over time i started to spend more time in the sim. Little by little getting better at it, and also better at making content about it. Having a livestream here and there...By then i'd already switched over to the PS5 and Gran Turismo 7. It was a blast! I even made my own simrig from scratch (using wood and an old car seat) together with my Dad. And also upgraded my wheel to a T300 and T-LCM loadcell pedals. I was all in and a few months later i bought a fully loaded metal simrig with all the bells and whistles.
But at the end of 2023 my personal life became a big mess. My relationship ended. I wont go into details ofcourse (personal stays personal), but i can share that obviously it was a big blow for both her and me. This all lead to me going back to the town i grew up in and eventually finding a new home.
But i simply could not make space in my head for building up the simrig again. It stayed untouched for almost a year. Partially because i was blaming simracing and my passion as one of the reasons my relationship had ended. Which it wasn't, but i guess i needed some kind of focuspoint. Somewhere or something i could place my grief in. If that makes sense.... I lost touch with my passion and it really lasted a long time before i had the guts to put the simrig back together again. Somewhere along the way i found the courage (this problably sounds very weird...but it is how i felt about it at the time) to build the simrig back together. In a way, rebuilding the simrig was me also rebuilding my life and leaving the past behind. A fresh start in my new home.
And with that i also started playing other race sims which really re-sparked my joy and passion for simracing. No more Gran Turismo...I switched over to the PC and started racing in Le Mans Ultimate and eventually iRacing too. Also restarting the uploads on the channel and enjoying my newly found energy for uploading video's and shorts. It didn't really do much in terms of subscribers, but it meant the world to me that every now and then someone subscribed or posted a positive comment under a video.
And now as 2025 comes to an end we have more than 1.000 subscribers. It's honestly an honor to have so many people follow the channel and apparently like what you do. Thank you all very much! You don't know how much it has meant for me (mentally) that each and every one decided to support me and give so much positive feedback. It has really made a lot of difference in my well being.
The last two months have been crazy. Again it's such an honor to have you all here and i will try my best to keep you entertained. Or so you can enjoy a video... maybe something that will make you smile on a bad day. As all of you have you made me smile, each time each and every one of you choose to subcribe and support me!
Bring on 2026!
Much love, Kenneth aka Sterq :)
PS don't let anything stop you from doing what you love. Even if that anything is yourself or your mental state of mind. In the end, doing what you love will give you all the positive energy you need to get in a better state of mind and just enjoy life a little bit more.
