A lot of the time working back at base makes the racing feel remote. 3 of the above cars I've sadly never even heard or seen move in the flesh

Fun is one word that could be used occasionally but most of the time it's just relentless


Really enjoying seeing some of the race cars on here
I suspect that is true of any job. It might be fun on occasion, but doing a task over and over under pressure to get it perfect, has to be a chore. I worked in photography all my life. No doubt many of the tasks I did I could have found hobbyist willing to pay me to participate in the production as if it was seminar. We did often stand back when done and say, damn that is looks cool.
