Hello together, first of all.
Reading through your words, and feel almost the same, but as a complete Newcomer...
I was searching across the Internet because i got nKPro racing today (DVD Version with all the Mods and so), and after doing some hours of learning how to drive, i must also say that i am very impressed. But i also feel that as a Rookie, with a just a Gamepad, i would not stand a Chance with those how played it for a few months or even years, as some leagues do.
So, what i am missing is some sort of easy acces to a "Rookie League" or "Open practice session", maybe just with the Fiat 500 Abarth, but i don't find it. I could try to join the Open Wheel Leage from Radiators Champ, they seem to be active and they were a few People in the Forum; but the season is over and by looking at their lap times with the KS2... no way for me, not yet.
On another Forum, i found active races but i could not connect to the Servers, None of them, that maybe my Computers fault ?
I was looking here:

A second thought, but i don't know if that works, is it possible to do mixed raced, so you could have separate classes, like on the 24 hour race on 24 H Nurburging ?
Otherwise, i am sure to have some fun with practicing for better lap times, but the Goal would be some nice races with other peope, sharing this Passion for racing virtually. But it seems like everbody is waiting for the upcoming Asseto Corsa...
Cheers and safe roads,
Tom
