This Sim Racing Tool Became A Secret Weapon For F1 (And Car Companies)

If your idea of racing games is based on Pole Position or Hard Drivin', you'll be shocked at how much modern sim racing is like jacking into the Matrix.

While "boomer shooters" like Selaco and Dusk are making retro gaming cool again, especially for people without killer gaming rigs or the latest consoles, sim racing is going the opposite direction.

Assetto Corsa, long considered the gold standard for sim racing, laser-scanned tracks like the Nürburgring Nordshleife, Silverstone Circuit, and Brands Hatch for crazy accuracy.

What's truly nuts is how much sim racing returns the favor to the real world.

It's called rFpro, formerly rFactor Pro, and it not only helps F1 teams train drivers, but it's also educating autonomous driving systems.
