The engineering behind it is absolutely wild. So in this video, I'm going deep on how these simulators actually work, why teams trust them enough to bet race results on them, and of course... I'm going to drive it and see how close I can get to their drivers’ lap times. 📢 Advertise to 7.3 million F1, motorsport and Engineering fans: https://driver61.com/advertise/ 👉 My other socials: - Instagram - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61Insta - Facebook - OfficialDriver61 - https://bit.ly/D61Facebook - TikTok - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61TikTok - Twitter - https://twitter.com/scottkmansell 🛞 My Sim Kit: - Fanatec DD2: https://bit.ly/driver61-fanatec - SImlabs P1X Pro: https://simlab.prf.hn/l/ZZ9AkG5 #RacingBulls #F1 #Simulator
