As Max Verstappen showed at Spa in , sim racing can help you drill exotic overtaking moves that would be impossible to practise otherwise unless his then team-mate Carlos Sainz had been feeling particularly cooperative that weekend!
But it can also train you to get good at the less headline-grabbing stuff, like where to position your car in the first corner and how to fend off would-be attackers on track. It's all of that. Compare that to owning and running a real racing car, where you have to pay to transport the car, store the car, insure the car, design and fit a fancy wrap, fuel it, buy tyres, buy parts, repair damage, pay for test days, pay race entry fees, pay mechanics… and the argument for racing virtually really starts to stack up.
Sim racing is even starting to infiltrate that most affordable of motorsports, karting. But don't take our word for it…. Going to a track on that simulator and then jumping into a kart, you'd just be on the pace instantly, without a doubt. It just saves you learning corners, getting into the rhythm a bit — it stops that first session being a bit of a waste.
I think the sim's an awesome tool to keep sharp. Max Verstappen has been the best advert for sim racing's efficacy. You can drive as much as you like. Formula One teams are now extremely limited in the amount of test days they can do, meaning that drivers are needing to find other ways to stay on top of their game. And while traditionally, drivers used go karts to maintain their reactions — Ayrton Senna even had his own karting track built at his ranch in Brazil — increasingly top drivers are having sim racing set-ups installed in their homes.
The only thing that they don't have necessarily is the physicality. But certainly in terms of the concentration for extended periods of time, managing the cars, tyres, learning every inch of the track and also learning how to work as a team — these are critical skills that every modern race driver will need.
