Title: Virtual GP
Post by: Dare on April 06, 2020, 04:09:19 AM

Not the real cars but many of the younger F1
drivers competed. Button and Herbert too.
click on watch on Youtube and it should work.

Hey thanks for posting that link Dare,  :good: I really enjoyed the virtual Vietnam GP - even though it was the Melbourne track. Probably catch the next one as well in 2 weeks.

First time I've watched E-sports racing, good laugh as no proper F1 - can't say I'd ever see it replacing the real thing though.

It's certainly better than no racing. I'd love to see more retired drivers in the mix, too.

Here in the States, the IndyCar & NASCAR sim races are being broadcast on TV in place of the cancelled/delayed races.

Several of them really have caught the bug. I've just been watching a Twitch stream where the Albons, the Leclercs, George Russell and a few of the junior-series drivers got together and attempted to do a 5-lap race round Monaco at night. With everyone connected together and talking about each others' efforts. It went... ...about as well as you'd expect.

(To watch replays or to see their live streams - if you can find out what times they're doing them - go to twitch.com and put in the driver whose viewpoint you want to follow. I tend to follow Charles Leclerc's - @iamcharlesleclerc16 - because I find his take on things funny. George Russell's is @gr63 and depending on who else is involved, sometimes other people have their own Twitch streams too).
