EX-STIG vs CHARLES LECLERC - SIM BATTLE!

  • I take on Charles Leclerc on a Monaco qualifying lap on the £2.5 MILLION rig ‪@dynisma9516‬ - I've never raced at Monaco... so this was quite a journey of discovery. The full motion immersion rig pulled no punches.. What are my chances of beating him on his home track... er?
    This is the exact setup the Ferrari F1 team uses for practicing, making it very interesting to see how close to Charles I can get on the virtual track.
    I hope you enjoy this video as I continue my journey getting to grips with the crazy world of sim racing. Please let me know what you'd like to see next on this channel in the comments...

      It's impossible to simulate the g-forces of an F1 car, you're not getting 5Gs out of a sim rig and this rig doesn't try to, so if it's just a bit of roll, pitch and yaw it helps a lot..

    Those who have raced will be familiar with the sensations we saw towards the end when everything settled down, the inputs became more subtle and the car just seems to be where you want. The flow state. I only ever got as far as racing 2 stroke karts at club level but the objective is the same; temporarily leaving reality to access that bit of the brain where time doesn't matter.
