Check out how “realistic” these simulators are. Check the first short lvideo that compares real street course on the left, simu,action of same track,on the right, and notice how almost every bump is represented in the Sim that the real track has. It’s unreal how much effort they put into racing Sims these days, and how “close” (relatively speaking) they are to driving g the courses in real life.
There are some differences to be sure, but the experience is still pretty cool, and fairly close to driving I. Real life, just minus the risk factor z d a few mi or things like smell, changing atmospheric conditions (the Sims replicate it, but it’s not like having rain slap you in the face at 200 mph, things like that)
These racing Sim systems are pretty state of the art, around $50,000 or so. They do centrifugal force pretty well, and the steering wheels have motors on them to replicate the massive torque (you can get some for much .ess, but you would, need a pretty solid desk as it really cranks the snot out of the support znd the driver)
I have just a very basic desktop setup. The steering wheel has force feedback, which again. Is really close to what actual driving would be as you go,over the bumps, and experience gforce,though it’s not as real,as the real,thing of course, but pretty close.
Bu t yeah, watch the vid if interested, it’s pretty amazing how close the pseudo track is to the real tracks. The simulator system in the video the setup rotates, dips, climbs, rocks the person on bumps, etc. Pretty cool i thought

dude, they are six miles from my house...
Who,is? The makers of the Sim system?
yup... Wiernicki Brothers
Ah cool- do,thy have a display folks can try out? That would be awesome-
maybe by now, but they are prettymuch all bespoke, so...
it’s been a looooong time since i’ve been there
if you look, that track is here at the Glen, and it starts right before the bus-stop
which track do you mean? The one in the video? I’m not to god on the glen track- something about it just throws me off- a Few tracks are like that for me- there’s just something about some of the corners that i can’t quite seem to master- i think because i have a tendency to overdrive them trying to make up time-
yes, the track in the video is Watkins Glen International... ~ten miles from the Force shop
ah i wasn’t really paying attention to the track except for the bumps and comparing the real driver hitting the bumps and the sim machi9ne- it almost mimicked the real driver experiences-
Time to mix-up a batch of Bloody Mary’s (beer snit on the side for me) and watch the conclusion of this most interesting season of F-1.
This is the last time we shall see Kimi race a F-1 car. I recall watching him win his F-1 title on the last lap of the last race of the year. He will be missed!
the hambone appreciation society strikes again
MAX..... Here comes a flood of tears. Put your waders on
i was actually on the edge of my seat... GO MAX!!!

GREAT race! Congrats to Max! Suck it Hamilton you (b)urn, (l)oot (m)urder woke fanboi POS!
I think there were a lot of messages sent. Maybe the strongest to Mercedes from the FIA, stop cheating!
F1 just increased their viewership for next year by 25%!
