Interview with Philipp Eng, BMW Works Driver, about BMW Sim Racing.
Many fans of cars and racing long for the opportunity to drive a racing car on world-famous racetracks themselves. A safe and cheap option is virtual motorsport on a screen: sim racing. In sim racing, computer simulations on a PC or games console replicate realistic races and the physics of driving, traction, grip and tyre behaviour are simulated as precisely as possible.The only requirements are the right platform (the simulation software), the hardware (PC or console) and suitable peripheral equipment such as a steering wheel and pedals. So sim racing is much more than a simple game on the screen. It's certainly a legitimate training option for both amateurs and pros – and it is the arena for thrilling races with participants from around the world. BMW SIM Live at the end of the year will once again be the highlight of the BMW Motorsport SIM Racing season in 2020. Over three BMW SIM Cups, professional sim racers and ambitious hobby drivers and interested beginners will all have the opportunity to qualify for the grand finale in Munich. The total prize fund this year stands at almost 75,000 euros.
Strengthening its commitment to the Esports scene with a factory team, Lamborghini has unveiled the three sim drivers who will represent the brand during the 2022 season in international sim racing competitions.Lamborghini decided to create its own official team to build on the valuable experience gained with The Real Race, the virtual one-make championship that debuted in 2020. The Esports Team represents a further opportunity to expand the brand’s presence in a sector that is constantly developing, highly competitive, and offers the chance to experience emotions comparable to those of a real race.The three sim drivers chosen to represent the brand in the major international Esports competitions are Jordan Sherratt, Gianfranco Giglioli and Giorgio Simonini.
