Check out his 1v1 against Verstappen here 👉 https://youtu.be/Yv_A6AY3678 📹 All source footage can be found here 👉 https://bit.ly/3SIAtLP Verstappen the current F1 World Champion - but he’s one of the top three sim drivers in the world. And nobody has done that before - been right at the pinnacle of both sports. So in a world where being a pro sim driver is a full-time job, how does he do that AND win the F1 World Drivers Championship? Well, it’s down to his specific technique, so let’s break it down. Look at this - this is Max driving at Bathurst. One of the most technically challenging circuits on the planet, and he is driving flat out, right up close to the walls - leaving ZERO margin and completely understanding his car. It's Max’s qualifying lap at the iRacing Bathurst 12-hour last year. He is in the top tier, racing the best sim drivers and teams in the world. He set a time four-and-a-half tenths faster than ANYONE ELSE. Four and a half tenths is a lot in real-world racing - where conditions can change a lot - making the track faster, or a driver could get a tow and gain half a second. But in the sim, it’s just each driver and the lap. Nobody else is on the circuit and identical conditions - then four and a half tenths is a massive amount. Then this - it’s the start of Le Mans Virtual this year. He starts fourth and makes an incredible launch to first before the first chicane - he then runs away with it. Pulling out an enormous lead (before the game crashes - but that’s another story). He’s racing pro esports drivers like James Baldwin, ex-F1 drivers like Romain Grosjean, F2 Champion Felipe Drugovich - and drivers who have won the real Le Mans 24. And Max calmly drove away from them. ➤Follow Driver61 on: ➤ Instagram- @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61Insta ➤TikTok - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61TikTok ➤ Follow Scott on: ➤ Twitter - https://twitter.com/scottkmansell ➤ Instagram - @official_driver61 - https://bit.ly/D61Insta #SimRacing #MaxVerstappen #DrivingTechnique
