You know you’ve made a great game/simulator when racing drivers use it to hone their skills in preparation for the real race. We’re talking about Project Cars here, one of the most coveted racing games and Rene Rast who is using it now for practice.
Audi factory driver Rene Rast is preparing hard for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans and despite the fact he’s not in the actual car doing laps around, he surely takes part in a very similar training in front of three monitors playing Project Cars.
Not sure on what platform the game is being run, but you can clearly see it works perfectly and Rast is using advanced controllers for total immersion. The only thing missing? As he specifies in the video’s comment section - the G forces.
“For me it is important to get used to the new driving technics like lift offs before braking zones, without Project Cars it would be much more difficult to adapt to this new driving style,” Rast says in the video description.
We doubt this is some sort of marketing campaign for the game, since that complex rig in the video suggests the race driver (and many other probably) was using it for the same purpose before, maybe in conjunction with Gran Turismo, the only other simulator on the market that perfectly mimics real world physics when it comes to racing, minus the sound, of course...
