Mclaren's Simulator

#1

Apparently Lewis Hamilton spends alot of time in Mclaren's simulator
practicing the tracks. Is there any info about this sim? I guess its more
than just a fancy rFactor mod =)

It's in-house.

I think we'd all like to see that simulator.

I do know that Vettel and Kubica use rFactor to run the F1 circuits, either
in the CTDP mod or the BMW F1 created by ISI.

I wish he'd spend more time in front of the mirror shaving those silly
sideburns. I really want to like the guy, but I can't get past that poncy
facial hair.

Still, at least it's more streamlined than Button's or Coulthard's. Their
bumfluff has clearly slowed them down for years.

PS I love the way Alonso sulks. He always did have a bottom lip made for
pouting.

Yeah - damn right.....
I always measure a man's value by his facial hair, or by the length of his
hair/sideburns.

Interview with Prost on Autosport.com:

Quote:

Prost also believes Hamilton, leading the championship by ten points after two consecutive wins, is benefiting from the time spent in McLaren's simulator.

"The simulator has reached an amazing perfection, it's even capable of
simulating weather conditions, the rain, the wet asphalt, everything,"
the Frenchman added.

"And Hamilton has worked with the simulator a lot more than Alonso,
and his driving style is very smooth, less rough than the Spaniard. I
think that's why for McLaren is easier to set up the car for
Hamilton's style."

That's why Fittipaldi was so good. Hell, everyone was just plain better in
the 70's!

John Bonham would have been shit if he shaved.

This theory translates to NASCAR, too. Dale Jarrett fell apart after
he shaved his 'tash.
