F1 teams should be throwing money at this project

with simulator work ever increasing in importance, something like that integrated with a crash helmet could take the drivers sim experience even further than now. |

I work in military flight simulation and we have both helmet mounted displays like this and also normal flight simulators, and the pilots prefer the normal sim 99 times out of 100. The problem with a setup like this is that you do not get to see the full controls in the car and where your hands are, and no amount of simulated vehicle extremities feel as real as physical items.

In racing magazines (I buy very few nowadays), do they list lap times of os sessions in simulators? The idea that this is how F1/motorsport has evolved is a little dispiriting.

Simulator development has been astonishing. The very top teams will have two, the one you see on the video which they also allow others, the press, junior drivers etc to enjoy, and the real one which is jealously guarded. The lack of a crash helmet in the video gives you the clue... Ferrari signing Pedro de la Rosa with his experience of Maclaren technology gives another. |
