Davvero molto interessante è l'articolo pubblicato da Virtual Racing School, che ha intervistato Brad Dias, pilota virtuale appassionato di iRacing ed al contempo pilota reale, in entrambe i casi della monoposto di Formula Renault. Brad ha spiegato le tante similitudini tra virtuale e reale ed in quale misura e modo il simracing lo aiuti nella pista vera.
Now you’re in Hong Kong, readying for the Asian Formula Renault series. How’s iRacing helping with that?
I’m practicing the same techniques and skills which you need on the real track. In iRacing, whatever good habits you pick up also apply in real racing. iRacing has the Formula Renault, which is nearly identical except for the tyre I’m racing with. I’m also practising a lot with the Skip Barber, which because it’s slower, I tend to better analyse my driving style. Another benefit is that it helps me become more adaptable with my driving. I really wish I could go back and have started sim racing years ago, when I started racing in real life. I think my progress would have been even better.
