Who is
Chunky Ribena

Welcome to my website! You probably clicked on this section to find out who

Chunky Ribena is and why on earth I chose that name. Well, settle in, because it's about to

get both suspiciously personal and slightly hilarious.

​

First off, I’m a Father and Husband – which sounds all responsible and grown-up, but when I’m not wrangling kids or trying to remember where I put my keys, you’ll find me indulging in my slightly obsessive love for motorsport and car race games. It started with a simple thrill of racing around Donnington in a single-seater (without breaking the bank, of course) and quickly escalated into a full-on addiction.

​

Enter: Sim Racing. After sitting in a Mercedes F1 W03 chassis while playing F1 2015 (because who doesn’t like pretending they're a Formula 1 driver in the living room?), I decided it was time to take the plunge and treat myself to my very first racing wheel: the Logitech G29.

​

It wasn’t all glamorous at the start. Oh no, the wheel was attached to an Ikea coffee table, and I was sitting on the floor trying to nail the perfect F1 seating position. The struggle was real, people.

​

But soon, the rabbit hole got real deep. A folding wheel stand, a YouTube channel, and an epic sim racing setup later, and here I am – living the dream (or at least, the dream of someone who still gets distracted by the smell of petrol and the sound of rubber on asphalt).

​

Now, here’s the part where I get a bit real. Like a lot of people, I’ve had my struggles with mental health. There was a time when I felt really low, unsure of myself, and honestly just struggling to keep my head above water. That’s when I found Andy’s Man Club. It’s a community where men can come together, share their stories, and realize that they’re not alone. It’s been a game-changer for me, and I can honestly say that without the support of those guys, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

​

Why YouTube? Well, for a long time, I was a little camera-shy. But as I got into streaming, I gained some much-needed confidence. And, somehow, I stumbled upon a group of like-minded individuals who call themselves the Gran Turismo Community. They're a bunch of awesome folks who know how to drift, race, and probably make jokes about my questionable driving skills.

​

So, if you’re into racing, bad dad jokes, and occasionally wondering if I actually know what I'm doing, feel free to hang around. Enjoy the chaos!

P.S. I promise the "Chunky Ribena" name is cooler than it sounds. Or maybe it isn’t… but let’s go with "mysterious." 😉
