In my experience, a 1920×1080 monitor is good enough. One of the biggest decisions to make is if you’re going to have 1 monitor, 3 monitors, or a VR headset. Upgrading an older PC with a new GPU is a cheap way to get all the computer you need. You want a Passmark score of at least 2,500 for a single monitor, 5,000 for triples, and 12,000 for VR. But make sure you check exactly which graphics card it has. Most recent desktop computers have enough performance to work with any of the simulators that exist today. You can lock all that down in the virtual world and work on just you. Weather, track, and car are constantly changing. Rigor – Sometimes it’s difficult to assess your performance because every day on track is a unique experience.With a simulator in your abode, just step in whenever you want. Convenience – Even if you have a lot of money and time, training can be inconvenient if you have to coordinate with spouse, friends, team mates, coaches, etc.The down time in the virtual world is measured in seconds, not hours. Driving events have a lot of down time from organization to travel to waiting in line. Time – The only thing more expensive than money is time.Try renting out your local track for a whole day. There are high end components in virtual racing too, but pretty much everything in the virtual world is cheaper than the real world. You can also spend over $3000 on a steering wheel motor alone. This includes the computer, monitor, steering wheel, and pedals. Cost – You can build a serviceable sim rig for $1000 or half that if you buy used.Sim training is literally preventative disaster training. Want to know what happens if you drop a half a wheel on the grass at 100 mph around T1? Not in real life you don’t. I mean the sim world lets you get into and out of disasters you can’t responsibly train for in real life. I don’t only mean you won’t injure yourself, your car, or property. Safety – Probably the most important reason to do sim training is for safety.If you’re not using a simulator, let me give you a few reasons why you should. Professional racers spend more time in simulators than in real cars. The hardware and software for virtual racing have progressed to the point that simulation training is the most cost-effective way to learn and maintain skills for high performance driving.
