Verstappen Static Sim Rig GT3 Race

Max Verstappen has spent another weekend away from grand prix duty, but his mind rarely leaves the virtual track for long.

Ahead of the GT World Challenge Europe finale at Portimao on October 17, he has explained exactly why his Max Verstappen sim rig setup skips the pricey motion platforms that plenty of his rivals swear by.

The Motorhome Setup and Hardware Philosophy Team Redline, the sim racing outfit Verstappen helped build, constructs a portable rig inside his motorhome on race weekends.

You can read the full exchange in his interview on sim rig setups.

For a driver whose day job demands millimetre-precise braking, that overlap between the Max Verstappen sim rig and a real cockpit isn’t a coincidence.
