Il sito di Virtual Racing School ha pubblicato una interessante intervista fatta a Laurin Heinrich, giovane 15enne pilota di kart che da quest'anno corre nell'impegnativo campionato ADAC di Formula 4 tedesco. Inoltre il buon Laurin si allena con iRacing in vari campionati virtuali.
What are things real life racing, especially karting, can teach you, that simracing can’t?
I know some simracers who are fast in the virtual world, but when it comes to real life racing they just don’t feel alright. An important experience you’ll get to know in karting is the racing with others. In simracing nothing — except of a disappointed team — will happen if you crash in a fight with an opponent. The ability of judging what is possible and what isn’t is also a whole other world than in simracing. So I think what karting does is separating the wheat from the chaff.
