PCCB out braked the steels last night on 5th gear.

Haha yes Steve , in Sim if you make small error going flat through Blanchimont and you bounce of the tyre wall , you just hit restart ...... hey presto no 50K car re-shell or very sore neck and other issues ........ so can then do another fast lap , whiteout all the misery of going back to the pits on a flatbed .

5M Euros back in 2014, and somewhat removed from the cheap bucket seat manacled to a bedstead made from bits of square tube to be found in your average sitting room/study[Img]https://i.postimg.cc/TY0WL632/IMG-20191130-014516-363.jpg[/thumb]
And FWIW, Nando seemed to think it's hard ...

Yup I've driven the Ferrari F1 sim. Very difficult especially getting used to the brake pedal pressure and tiny travel.
The brake pedal pressure required is real though I'm given to believe (and not something one would find on iracing rigs 
). F1 cars need unbelievable amounts of braking pressure to do it right at speed given their downforce. a friend has driven a 08 historic F1 car and on the telemetry he's nowhere even close to the required stopping pressure and he's done reasonably well in gt3 racing so does know what he's doing on track.
Sims are not a replacement for real life...I don’t think anyone is saying that or even implying it. As we now have three or four months of dark, cold and wet ahead I shall be dusting off my hard drive and getting stuck in to my sim rig.
At the very least it’s great fun. Either just practice or racing AI or racing others online. At best it’s a super learning and training tool short of actually being in a car. Where else can you lap a sunny and warm Oulton Park in a 991 cup car or an E30 M3 with zero tyre and fuel costs when it’s December, 2 degrees C, wet and dark outside :-)
