"The Importance of Simulation for Race Drivers", ovvero l'importanza della simulazione di guida per un pilota, è il titolo di un articolo molto interessante pubblicato su iRacing News, che ci parla di quanto sia stato utile l'allenamento virtuale con iRacing per Michael Epps, un giovane pilota nord americano che corre nel campionato Cooper Tires USF2000.
So I definitely think there is a correlation between a driver’s results and how much time they spend in the simulator, hence why those drivers at the top of this sport use ones provided by their teams. It’s much cheaper than actually testing, and with the right gear (as in equipment) you can actually get more out of a day on the sim than in real life, especially since you can control the conditions. I guarantee that most of the drivers at the sharp end of any competitive grid have used or are using simulation to their advantage, and if you are competing in a series and not using some form of simulator I would definitely suggest looking into it. It could turn out to be budget well spent.
