    • @devitomichael
      @devitomichael Před rokem +39

      It’s not really that impressive when you consider that the real driver is driving well within his professionally honed comfort zone with no intention of actually crashing his vehicle real or simulated, whereas the fact that this is only a simulator with no real consequences if he should exceed his actual driving abilities, he could be pushing well past his skill level knowing there is nothing actually at risk. I don’t think the professional driver is making any distinction between his real vehicles and his simulations, whereas myself for example, would drive far more aggressively and carelessly way outside of my normal safety limits in reality, Many people in the safety of a simulator could pull off great times, but could they reliably and predictably pull off those same times 9 out of 10 times in reality when there is actually something to lose?

Who knows...in a couple of years, if you keep it up, you could be in a real race car, in a real race series!

      I disagree to a degree. I think Jimmer's skillset is the perfect balance between alien and being actually fast IRL. It's "Easy" (as in really hard) to become an Esports driver since every sim has it's quirks you can exploit, but Jimmy has experience in multiple sims and with this experience, plus the RL experience he is gaining through Karting, driving the GT4 car and so on I think he'd have a geniune chance of being successful in motorsport IRL.
