DOES DRIVING A RACING SIMULATOR MAKE A YOU A FASTER DRIVER? EA Sports WRC

EA SPORTS WRC is OUT NOW for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. With over 70 vehicles spanning decades of rally history, all 17 locations with some of the longest stages we've ever seen in a rally game, and made by legendary developers Codemasters, you don't want to miss this. Search EA SPORTS WRC, or click the link x.ea.com/78669 for more information on the game.
I've always wondered how much of an impact a racing sim has on your real life driving and today we put that theory to the test.

I had loads of fun with the new EA WRC Game and it’s out now! Search EA SPORTS WRC, or click the link x.ea.com/78669 for more information on the game

Could I play against u pls cause I also play this game on my simulator

[@dwaynne_way]

What was it like playing the simulator was it close to the real thing? I've always wanted to have a go on a simulator of F1

[@user-zg5xe4dc4f]

@@dwaynne_way it's so realistic u should try it and notify me so I could have a race with u

@Mark_McCann If you want a more realistic game you need to try BeamNG Drive , the físics on the gam are litery insane .

[@dwaynne_way]

I have always enjoyed playing racing games but have never experienced a full blown simulator, it looks great you seemed to enjoy it.

[@MarkMcCann64]

Even just getting a simple wheel and pedals is amazing and loads of fun

[@dwaynne_way]

I might have a look and treat myself for Xmas 😊

[@BriannaRubino-xy7mc]

This experience can give you a deeper understanding of the techniques and strategies of racing driving, and many professional racers also use these simulators for training. Do you want to try it?

[@DAMND3Xx]

@@dwaynne_way Once you start, you don't stop. It's been 10 months since I started and I have put $5k into just the SIM for now. This setup is probably $50k or so

Great to see your channel growing and getting the sponserships it deserves. Keep up the good work team, i love watching!

[@saltybmxer6977]

It’s always a great day when you upload. Your channel is quite possibly my favorite channel right now. Grade A content every time. I would absolutely love videos more often. I promise to watch every minute.

Engaging and exciting video as always, Mark! It was great to see your Vesaro simulator featured and the tangible benefits that can be transferred over to the real experience!

Thanks again for the amazing support when ever we need it

Utterly brilliant mate, nice to see you back in your superb wrc rally car & Vesaro simulator again, what a great bit of kit . I've longed for a video of you in that since I first saw you in it ,with Senna ages ago for a few mins👌🏽

[@MarkMcCann64]

Thanks for watching for so long, I’m sure we’ll do more with it

Hi Mark, I've never subscribed to anyone but I love cars, love car games (gran turismo), binged on several of your videos and subscribed. Can't wait for the next one; keep up the good work mate 👍🏽

I love the way you put on your dancing shoes and fireproof socks just in case your feet get to burnt from the underfloor heating in the house 😂😂and the race fuel was a great idea😊

Hi mark love the content. Been a massive rally fan since I was a kid, dad and grandad rallied the escort mk2 back in the day. I would loveeeee a go in a rally car, used to race karts and did really well but money is king in motorsports unfortunately. Anyway just wanted to thank you for the awesome vids you are so lucky to experience what you have and hope you continue making these vids for the foreseeable future, all the best 🙌🙏

[@CineeK911]

I absolutely love the content. Literally everything, from rallying to having fun, car shows etc. And i absolutely adore how your family is with you in everything. Just feels so engaging that I'm going to get myself WRC3 now and will abuse handbrake in my wifes vectra tomorrow (wont do it to my car though).

Loves the video mate that ford is rapid the noises coming out of it sound amazing 👌. You need to tarmac your track

[@simonesabellico3208]

I started rallying in real life after using the sim for a while. And it just helped me so much! I already knew more or less how the car would behave on a certain surface and how to make it do what i wanted it to do.

[@Andreas_Constantinou]

Cool concept man. Looks like it definitely warmed you up. Would be an interesting video if you could get a person that played a lot on simulators butnever drove a real rally car to see how they'd perform in a real car right away.

[@ophatjb]

I volunteer as a tribute :D

[@Motorsportqueen]

Well done Mark..... another challenge completed. I would love to have heard Janes response off camera about the fuel in the office lol Until next week.

right person for a sponsorship on this one, better way to show the game rather than some gamers that really dont have a clue what a rally car is like.

[@jamesbreakwell1893]

Which Stage Vesaro Sim is that? Looks awesome.

[@legoferrari14]

I think generally Rally and mixed-surface racing as a whole is the least well-suited to simulator adaptation because of how many more, different and extreme the variables can be compared to circuit racing which a computer can't account for as reliably.

[@seatonsaffer1]

Great video

[@Henry.25]

I liked the video and I will subscribe to the channel Although KZbin made me skeptical about everything, as it would be very easy to do a slow lap first and a fast lap later and in the middle of them putting the “training” in the simulator. 😂😂😂

[@chrisprobert6]

It was about this time. Cant remember which year. We lost Richard Burns... That was sad.

[@Southie.]

Love the gaming setup, go on Mark let us know how much that set you back then 😎

[@LeeM74]

Getting on for £60k. Vesario commercial sim rig level 5 with everything included.

[@chrismartin6427]

I'll tell you what these roads are not far off what i have to go through every single day as I live out in the stick and night time there are no street lights so when I was new to the area there was a lot of brown trouser moments as I did not know the roads and the corners come up out of nowhere especially with the old headlights in the Audi 80.... ps that r5 is a mad little car im still amazed with the horsepower number you get out of a 1.6 Madness

[@Self-Delusion]

When you threw the cameraman right under the bus 😂

[@ricknoah9184]

Without trying that simulator, I'd still believe it's feedback would be inadequate to relate to actually driving. This is just MY OPINION, so don't go nuts here. What a simulator can't do is subtle "tells" in inertial motion when the tires are going to go loose. This comes from a feeling in your hips or butt. It's almost an additional body sense if you're strapped in hard. High speed driving is about "feel" and sensing subtle inertial motions. You become a part of the car at some level. You'll never feel a low tire in a simulator. Simulators don't do trail braking correctly. Sure, some driving software gets close and is hella fun to play. I get that. But you'll never feel your stomach try to come out your nose quite like dropping down the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

[@giovinazzo3gsmotorsport]

Ciao awesome event we drive it wrc test place with alfa good fun awesome video thanks ❤👍💪☕❤

[@ophatjb]

I need that sim rig in my office :D

[@PixelMuse802]

U should join a real rally event frr

[@-__-_--_---_-]

That feeling that just this wheel + base costs more than my entire setup

[@pappieee9409]

I personally can say sim was a massive aid for my progress with driving, not only did it make me feel comfortable but you encounter so many scenarios and you can send it with no risk of putting yourself in a ditch and suffering consequences like irl because you thought you was billy big bollocks 😂

[@Mike_Bitcoin_X]

I'd love to see you collab with Travis Pastrana

[@MarkMcCann64]

That would be an amazing collab

[@user-dp6vm7up3c]

What’s the price of the set up ?

I built the sim simulator also for rally and f1 and i can say that you can learn a lot of them

They teach you loads and are super fun in the process

So what happens if you practice for an hour in a car park instead? I know its a promo and all that but I've never met a pro rally driver from the last ~20 years or so who couldn't use a hydro handbrake.

[@bassmasta9117]

Wow you're so lucky to be able to drive that. Imagine if Ford made a car that looks like that for anyone to buy

[@Noname30000]

The amount of money In that motion sim is close too the same price of a beginner rally car probably 😂

[@olle6260]

I need to know how much that sim set up actually costs😂
