Simulator Racing Vs Real Racing TRDC SHOW Ep 26

The great debate between sim racing and real racing continues, here is my take on things.

This was inspired by Josh's question:
“Enzo, a few questions for you about simulators. 1- If you are good on a sim, does it mean you are good in real life? 2 - Can it help my real driving? 3 - Is it really worth me being good on a sim?”

To answer quickly and in order of the questions then No, Yes, Yes.

Let me explain in this video and hopefully give you some tips along the way.

Simulator driving can be very valuable in more ways than one.

I would have answered this question very differently 10 years ago but now with F1 and other categories getting involved in eSports, and with scholarships being held (McLaren simulator prize), things are different now.

This is a new era and if you want to go racing and have no budget then no longer is sim driving a far fetched avenue to pursue.

Plus there are many ways in which you can use racing simulators to improve your real world race craft and driving.

Plus plus, more importantly to me simulators are a great way to improve your mental skills and performance.

I hope you enjoy this video and look forward to hearing from you and any other questions you may have.

All the best

Enzo
