This is Racing Bulls' $3 million simulator in Faenza, Italy - and it's so accurate that after Friday practice - on the real track, they'll run the exact same car setup here virtually, test changes that would be impossible on track, and if the sim says it's faster... those changes go straight onto the real car for Saturday.
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.
