La BRD, nota azienda inglese specializzata nella realizzazione di hardware professionale per la guida virtuale, ha recentemente vinto il prestigioso premio "tecnologia dell'anno" al Professional Motorsport World Expo 2010, per i suoi noti simulatori dinamici. Vi ricordiamo che la BRD utilizza i software sviluppati dalla Kunos Simulazione sulla base dell'engine di netKar Pro, un grande riconoscimento quindi anche per il team italiano.
BRD’s unique take on simulator development found favour with the Awards judging panel. Jonas Jarlmark from KEO Racing was one of those to recognise its merits. “Ten years ago, simulators were either institutional installations with a multi-million dollar price tag, or a computer and a joystick,” he said. “Now, a serious formula team can use them for driver practice on unknown tracks, or to help in driver selection and development.” Award recipient Nik Ball, managing director of Ball Racing Developments, said, “We are delighted to receive the Motorsport Technology of the Year Award, which recognises the tremendous effort and hard work put in by all of the staff at Ball Racing Developments in developing our new PureTech Racing facility. It is also recognition of the increasingly important development role that simulation technology is playing in motorsport.”
