All that wet racing in iRacing is definitely going to help 
F1 these days is nothing of that of old and is well suited to today's iTech generation of kids.

Horse crap! f1 has always been progressive and still is, its a formula and the idea is to push the boundaries of racing technology......i love it when people talk garbage because they think it makes them sound knowledgeable! a racer is a racer is a racer, a skilled racer would and could adapt to any era, fact!All that wet racing in iRacing is definitely going to help

to quote Martin Brundle, "the cream always rises to the top" go on argue that you know better than him.
I never said I was the guru of all things F1 because I'm not, I have watched from the sidelines for years . One interesting thing you have stated and I agree is Brundle is from the true F1 lineage, so you're right there at least
Not to take this thread off topic, but...
I want such an old Lotus steering wheel really bad......
Hill's 1968 Lotus
How come that 1 time I saw him try the RSS 2 he didn't use his own Carlin livery that I madeYeah he loves our cars.
Because like I said he loves our cars he likes the originality.How come that 1 time I saw him try the RSS 2 he didn't use his own Carlin livery that I made
maybe he dont know how to mod man.
Well, regardless, at least he used a skin that I painted anywayBecause like I said he loves our cars he likes the originality.

That RSS V6 is one fun car to drive. It is the perfect balance of speed and handling...especially at a circuit like Mugello. I am not surprised.
It is indeed....but have you seen Kubica's arm?.....they aren't that physical so a fit 18 year old should have no issue to drive them.
You don't sim race for physical training, you do it for first and foremost enjoyment.
Have you seen the re-arranging to Kubica's Williams just so he can drive it? and you or I may do it for enjoyment but I think it's a fair bit more serious for these young guns, who usually start out Karting and have fixed their ambitions by age 12 long before they park their butt in a simulator.
I think you'll find Lando and Max are having fun on iRacing....
All i meant was have fun don't take it all too seriously. Having driven racing cars and I have a race license but no racing budget, I can tell you sim racing is a life saver to me.
But it is for me fun first.
I have spoken to racing drivers who end up hating the 'sport' because of pressure and cheating etc.
Have fun.
IMHO sim racing is the new karting. Right now karting is in quite a bad shape, Idk what Massa can do about it, it's way too expensive. It's bonkers and honestly, besides the Italian manufacturers, not many people will miss karting in its state right now. Many miss the real karting, from the 70s to the 90s, but not this joke.
In fact, it's more expensive than many car championships and there are some Asian kids spending 1mln per season! Mind you, only F2 is more expensive than this, all GTs and up to LMP2 series are cheaper!
It's crazy, talent will never rise to the top and I won't be surprised if some F1 teams try putting sim racers in their official driver development programs in F4.
