Virtual reality F1
With testing restricted to just 15,000Km,teams will be using simulators to do quite a bit of their testing for them.Who's got the best,how good are they and is it really a good thing?
Interesting articles on the subject. http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns21101.html http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft21102.html Will it get to the point where tracks aren't needed at all! ? |

But I think McLaren do something more than this, a whole basketball pitch is big area and such dynamic simulator as the one described is much smaller. You can see on the website, there are a lot of videos with helicopter and Eurofighter simulators. Btw, car racing has a distinct advantage compared to all the other sports, it can be simulated(you can't simulate football or basketball) and if this technology turns so good that you can prepare a young driver, then it will bring much more talent to the sport and of course more popularity. |

It's a nice thing to play with it. Everyone should have one, I mean the regular guy.
