According to Yahoo! Autos , YouTube commenter 00WARTHERAPY00 lost his father when he was only six years old. Before he passed, the two played a racing game, RalliSport Challenge , together. He booted up the old Microsoft console a decade later and discovered his father had completed a lap the fastest.His "ghost" still lived on in the game, challenging other players to beat its time. The commenter stepped up to the task:"...And so I played and played and played until I was almost able to beat the ghost. Until one day I got ahead of it, I surpassed it, and... I stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure I wouldn't delete it. Bliss."
