Project Sim Racer is an ongoing segment at The Simpit, where we follow a new sim racer in their quest to become one of the sport’s best.
Sim racing is a form of motorsport that requires many of the same skills as real life race car driving. In the world of motorsports it can take years of learning to become one of racing’s best. In sim racing we can accelerate that learning curve but it still takes dedication, focus and a little bit of genetic talent.
Shaun Cole of The Simpit works with our new rookie driver, Andreas Martin Mรธrch, as they go through the steps from rookie to hopefully a pro level driver.
In this episode it is back to the basics as they begin this series with an introduction to Andreas and some important things to take care before even heading out on track. From there they move on to some of the first things you should be working on when one first starts off sim racing. This will set the tone for what is to come in future episodes.
