I mean it is an amazing story but he wasn't without experience -- he did do formula ford and also karted quite a bit. Not taking away anything from him, my point really is that people shouldn't go thinking that you can sim race and then go straight to racing wheel to wheel at a GT3 level.

@simoneburini4036 3 жыл бұрын
I think that BOP (for GT3) should be replaced with a measurement of the levels of torque and power of the engines, which determines minimum weight and fuel tank capacity (distinguishing between turbocharged, supercharged and NA engines (I'm sure that the FIA engineers would be able to come up with a fair system)), with turbo engines limited to 4 liters, supercharged engines limited to 5 liters and NA engines with unlimited displacement. I don't care if cars like the Bentley Continental and the BMW M6 are thrown out of competition. For GTE, instead, just throw BOP out of the window completely: 4 liter engines with turbos, no restrictor plates and the same fuel tank capacity and minimum weight for every car.

Since airplane pilots learn to fly on simulators, so in the last several decades, we know that learning on simulator is a better way to be an expert. You can practice way more overall, and you can practice way-way-way more on the edge of your limits. And practicing on the edge of your limits is the best way to learn something.
@Wylie288 3 жыл бұрын
well sorta. Thats the easiest way to plateau. You want to leave a little room for not making errors so you can actually learn. You run at 85% get it up to 95% of max potential. And repeat. If you shoot for 100% max potential all you learn is how to keep making the same mistakes. Grinding a skill is never optimal

This is false, most airplane pilots learn to fly in real planes. Just recently is simulation becoming more prevalent in training but it is not the most common. There is a big push to make it more affordable and in since make flying more affordable but its a far ways away. No sim time will count towards your PPL and only a certain amount of hours will count towards your Instrument in the US. Also, Simulators do not actively help you understand the feeling of flying unless you spend thousands of dollars creating a full motion sim that has actual force feedback. Now, for airline pilots, all their training is done in the simulators because the Class D simulators are just like the real thing. You fly a 737 simulator at American Airlines, you are essentially flying the real thing. The first time an airline pilots flies the actual plane is when they have passengers for the first time. This is always with a season captain.

@theread3480 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah but the difference is that this was expected of O’brien. For James people expected him to lose positions and fade back into the field. Sure he might have been able to do at least one overtake but his team was telling him to maintain position. He was able to get third on the pit stop by applying constant pressure to the car in front of him. O’brien was obviously very important in winning this race but he did exactly what he was expected to do while James far exceeded all expectations.
