Formula 1 drivers use simulators to memorize tracks

theconversation.com

Formula 1 drivers now use advanced simulators to memorize race tracks before driving on them. This technology allows them to practice cornering speeds and braking points without being on the actual track, enhancing safety and preparation. Since 2009, testing days for drivers have been limited, prompting teams to rely more on simulators. These tools enable drivers to adjust various conditions and practice maneuvers in a risk-free environment, improving their skills and decision-making. E-racing has gained popularity, with some F1 drivers participating in virtual competitions. While simulators help with skill development, they do not replicate the full experience of real-world racing, including physical and psychological stresses.
