From Sim Racing to the Real Thing
How Esports Is Changing the Future of Motorsport
Box This Lap explains the significant impact that esports has had on real-world motorsport. “Racing esports has become more than just a hobby for fans; it is a genuine testing ground for teams, drivers, and brands. Every virtual lap helps engineers and sponsors see what the next era of racing might look like. What started as a niche corner of gaming has turned into a full professional circuit, complete with championships, official licences, and audiences in the millions.”
How Tire Development Takes Place in the Virtual World
Sportscar365 explores how Michelin carries out tire development away from the race track using virtual technology. “For this purpose, a key tool in Michelin’s arsenal is its own, in-house virtual tire model. It’s called ‘TameTire’ and has been specially developed for vehicle dynamic simulations.”
