I had the opportunity to run a state of the art most modern up to date nascar simulator that the teams drovers and development drivers use to practice and test different setups in the car for the mext track they are going to and to get seat time as mmuch as possible for new drivers and man it was amazing. I grew up racing asphalt circle track cars since i was 10 started in a outlaw rwd pro 4 mustang based outlaw ministock latemodel. Its a mid 80s to early 90s 4 cylinder mustang coupe that had been modified with the subframes tied together to make basically a solid tube chassis and a putlaw latemodel body hing on it woth a very expensive stroked put ford 2.3 four cylinder motor that was stroked tona 2.7 turning 9500 rpms and making 390 rear wheel horsepower which is alot for naturally asperated holly 500 two bbl vdl racing carb with header of course hige cam extremely lightnweight crank shaft. And i still race and have raced just about every type of oval track car except nascar of course and when i got to race on a real nascar teams training sim it felt like i was in the car and felt more realistic then aby at home iracing rig and setup i jave ever used. It was amazing and then they let me play around on iracing and run like f1 cars indy sprint cars dort cars ect after i ran a few nascar races with it

[@derekbancarz4530]

VR could also be a really cool tool for this! Resolution is getting high enough these days. The military is using VR to train fighter jet pilots, racing teams should use it as well if they can get past the initial motion sickness! The wrap around screen is pretty cool though. Interesting they use a variation of rFactor and not iRacing :P :D

[@lorenzoh.17]

seeing this reminds me that I wanted to comment on the future Facilitys: Aston Martin F1s future factory should not be based on beeing the exact contrary of Mc Larens facility for too long because its important to have an inspiring environment to be creative and to have a regular movement of your body to be healthy. Fitness, Art and people walking and talking down a corridor shouldn t be forgotten. People sitting all time together with surpressed movements (the feel in some schools) of the body can annoy and depress aswell as too long corridors to walk. Put some walls to climb to the second floor ;-) that would be direct and sporty. Or perhaps put in a climbing frame or some other fitness parcours elements that are not to dangerous.

[@loco4721]

He also doesn't do track walks, which makes it even more impressive

[@christoforospaphitis4090]

He has so much experience he doesn't need to. The team needs the laps and these are done by other drivers. That being said, Lando and Max are on the simulator all the time and yes you can see the benefits

[@vel5063]

@@christoforospaphitis4090 true. he did say something about the track being different when driving. the feel of a curb while walking is different when taking a turn at 300km/hr

[@christoforospaphitis4090]

@@vel5063 of course. The track walking however is done to visually identify reference points and track imperfections but also opportunities that may not be visible when driving. In general it is mandatory for the team to do it and it's a good idea for the driver to join them. The simulator apart from data collection is also a great test bed to experiment with various not so intuitive racing lines that may result in big crashes.
