Hi Everyone, As an up and coming racing driver one of the biggest difficulties I face is getting track time in the car. For me this year, that means a GP2 car where testing and real track time is severely restricted. Thanks to VisionRacer's new creation, the VR3, I've been able to maximise the advantage of having a static race simulator at home. It's been incredibly useful recently, and great fun as I spent hours on it learning the Bahrain International Circuit which I raced on for the first time last week. They were the latest races in this year's GP2 Asia Series and it was fantastic to go out and drive the real track knowing where it went, and I realised how much the VisionRacer had been an advantage to me in the lead up. I’d recommend the VR3 to any racing driver or enthusiast who wants the feel of the real thing in the comfort of their living room. One of the important things for me and probably any serious player, is the feedback you get which is excellent, and also the comfort. I spend many hours in the VR3 learning new circuits, so it has to be comfortable. The ergonomics of this design are perfect. The real races in Bahrain were quite hard work for me. In the first one I got pushed wide at the first corner and damaged the underside of my car when I re-joined the track. |
That limited my result and meant I had to start the second race from near the back of the grid. I fought hard and managed to get back up through the field to finish in 12th place. Thanks to my VR3 I knew where the good overtaking opportunities were!  The next circuit I have to learn is the Barcelona track ready for the Spanish Grand Prix event in May. More hours in the VR3, not that I need an excuse! Max Chilton |
