Gregory Eyckmans is a perfect example of progressing from sim racer to real racer! Sim racing was a big part of my life as a teenager, and it helped me a lot in my racing days too. The advantage is that I can adapt very quickly to different cars and tracks, but also to changing circumstances.
Xwift Racing Events offers the complete package and the sim gives you the same cockpit-like feeling as in a real race car thanks to the excellent seating position. I have coached people with almost no experience, and they got up to speed quite quickly after intensive training in the sim.
It not only helps you improve your racing lines, but also your focus and reflexes. Highly recommended for drivers and motorsport fanatics!
