Interesting take.

    well Max is already a beast in GT cars on iRacing which I think shows how versatile of a driver he is

    I realize simracing isn’t real since there is no threat of injury so you can push harder, and most old school drivers probably think of it as nothing more than a video game

    but the physics are more accurate than ever, the wheels and pedals are very close to the real thing as far as driver input is concerned, and the competition is very high level in the top splits

      There’s some cool vids of Sim racers being placed in real cars and it shows the skills are highly transferable with a small familiarity time window.

      Max is for sure a versatile racer. I’m betting any of the greats could adapt pretty well to other style race content. Wonder if they see the thrill in comparison to F1 though.
