Is iRacing Veeky Forums approved?

b-but iRacing is used by all the major F1 and WEC teams for testing

That's rfactor

thats rfactor, not the consumer version, with a hydraulic simulator, AND not for the purpose of driver training except to learn the track if they have to

You are correct that simulators are great for getting familiar with a track and learning reference points.

But you're wrong about driver training. Sims are one of the best tools for driver training. Drivers are able to train various skillsets and use their telemetry as a reference for progress.

And I say this from first hand experience. We use pic related to train various drivers from a beginner to semi-pro level.

Woha, do you work at an F1 factory or something?

Here is an example of the telemetry we use for beginners.

I work for a small company that operates a professional F1 simulator. We offer driving sessions to the general public and also do driver training for more serious folk/racers.

a professional racer doesnt need any help from a shit tier simulator.
you cant feel what the car is doing.

Why do you think a professional simulator costs as much as the car it's meant to simulate?
It's because you CAN feel what the car is doing.
It's "muh feels" to the extreme.
