A piece of Italian Simracing History
When people commit to do stuffs properly
I publish this image (with Italian text) as an article, because doing it as a picture wouldn't let me have enough text to talk properly about that.
It was back in 2006 and Italian racing communities were starting doing stuffs seriously. They (and some sponsors) collaborated to build up a Driving School to teach people basic rules to behave and live together in online competitions. Expecially while "fighting" each other, respect each other spaces, so avoid contacts and somehow even prevent lag effects when possible.
Getting this certificate was free. You just had to own GTR 2 (on PC) and install NAPmod (a custom community patch for game's physics), which was the main simulator on that period. The course used to last just one evening. But you had to do it in order to partecipate in all leading portals (listed on left) organized events and championships.
Maybe you can't see the whole image used as cover, so I'll put it back here again... I just hope Drive Tribe scripts don't cut it. (I actually don't understand why they use "auto-image-cutter" scripts... I don't agree with such kind of stuffs).
Literal translation: "Certificate of participation to the In-Track Behavior's Course".
