Comparing Car Simulators with Real Cars

What Car?What Car? journalists visited Goodwood racing circuit to compare car simulators with driving a BMW M4 on the real track. This interesting comparison highlighted similarities and distinctions that one might find in other sectors such as with flight simulators. The car simulator provided a near-realistic layout and vehicle dynamics, useful for learning track-specific nuances and safe practice. Translating simulator skills to the real circuit was found to improve performance, demonstrating the potential of such technology for both novices and enthusiasts. However, (human) expert tuition remains essential to maximise benefits and refine techniques.
