Hello, everyone;

My name is Barry Davies, I'm twenty-two, and I'm a motorsport fan on-and-off-line.

I was born in Great Britain and started my motorsport career in the shadow of Michael Schumacher's Formula One domination. As a young teenager, I came to the United States to live with friends. I've not moved since.

I've been simracing for nearly five years now through rFactor and Richard Burns Rally, but in real life I own and actively race several shifter-karts and a late-00's Honda Civic for local rally. I've won several races in the European circuit and competed as a top five finalist in two separate karting championships: one European and one American. I am by no means a professional driver, but I've got enough experience that I know what I'm taking about when it comes to auto racing (in most cases).

When I'm not working, at the track, or racking virtual kilometers up, I spend my free time rather creatively. My hobbies include writing and drawing, composing electronic music, and playing the piano. I also enjoy other forms of gaming including, but not limited to: MOBAs, RTSes, and FPSes.

I'm not sure what I want to get out of this whole TORA experience. I'd like to be able to compete with the wonderful people here in all sorts of series. I primarily enjoy single-make spec racing and endurance racing, but my experience online spans to multi-class GT/Prototype racing and time attack competitions.

I found this site through the grapevine; I had been looking on the Forza Motorsport 5 forums when I decided I wanted to join a league. One thing led to another, and here I am.

I hope to have a wonderful experience here at TORA, and I look forward to competing with the best you have to offer.
