    Do SIM Racers Stand Chance vs Professional Pilots?

    If you have ever seen a SIM simulator, you might be thinking – why aren’t these guys competing in F1? Well, they actually can and some even have, but more on this in a bit. Your befuddlement is understandable. After all, when you see a great casino on trusted websites you probably want to play. With the help of https://zarbonusesfinder.com/online-casinos/ you can find a site that is worth your while.

    But the real question is if SIM drivers can actually measure with professional pilots. Tony Sloterman, product owner at Casino Bonuses Finder says, that the difference between real money and demo casino play is the fact that you use the money on the one and a made-up currency on the other. This mostly applies to SIM vs professional racing, but there are a few caveats to consider.

    SIM Racing Is Very Hard

    Let’s start with the obvious – investing in SIM racing is not a cheap thing. The software and rig you need to get everything off the ground is definitely not the cheapest option you have, but it’s one that you deserve. OK, so costs can be scary, but you can also start cheap.

    The real thing that you need to be aware of is that SIM Racing is actually hard. It’s not like you can get behind that wheel and have the same feeling of lightness as if you were playing on your Xbox. The software is calibrated to make steering difficult and challenging and you need to exert yourself to actually control your vehicle.

    In other words, you need to be in good physical shape to even finish a SIM race. So, on this account SIM racing is not only hard – it smacks of the real thing.

    F1 Racers Are Already Using SIM Racing

    Do you think that SIM racing is a waste of time and has no place in F1 races? Think again, because Max Verstappen spoke at the beginning of 2022 about how he tried to become a better driver and catch up to Lewis Hamilton (a rival he is now on par with). He admitted that SIM racing played a huge role in his off-raceway training.

    As Verstappen explained – there are only so many hours you can clock in a real racecar, and it’s important to take it easy. While the SIM sessions are hard, there is room for error there, and Verstappen used that to work on particular skills that he has been able to develop.

    Don’t Count on SIM Racers Beating F1 Pilots

    While this has already happened and a former F1 world champion used to a SIM racer (with a lot of actual racer experience nevertheless), it’s unlikely that SIM racers will be able to match F1 pilots, for example. But the truth is that SIM racers will have a very good chance of keeping a good tempo provided they learn a bit more about actual racing conditions.

    In other words, SIM racing is challenging and it’s rewarding and ultimately – F1 drivers will always come back to SIM options because they want to make sure that they understand racing better and continue to improve themselves on regular basis. It’s a great way to think about things.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
