SIM racing is where you ram your opponent off the track

True. Especially when you're racing in silverstone.

 

[Tetraturbo]

Oh boy, here we go.

 

[PSN:And-War]

sim racing is where you lean to ram ppl of the track

lets hope the mods don't tolerate fanboism, cause i dont,it has been settled whether you like the results or not,on a lighter note, with the w12 in iracing everyone will have more sim time in the car than sir lewis have in 8 years

 

[TypeRDC5]

Oh boy, here we go.

Beat me to it 😅

I hope Max isn't so agressive in sim games like he is in real life.

Maybe Lewis needs to try sim racing then. I think he’d be good at it. 😃

Here is Max training, in his truck 😀

Yeah, well, I bet he's rubbish at Hydro Thunder, probably doesn't even know the Bermuda Triangle cave jump shortcut.

Well we know he tried out the outside of blanchimont overtake at Spa a few times in iRacing and then did it in F1.

I imagine he moves a lot of his aggression from sim to track. Just the new generation of driver, Leclerc, Norris, Russel will all be the same when faced with those situations.

Max is a very agressive driver. I need to agree with Mercedes, the last race was kinda prepared for max to win. Hamilton accepted better his lost than the team. But in part the team is right. If max is agressive in real life, in sim he will be very agrsssive and apply his moves in real life.

Reckon I could take him at Powerdrift.

Is he a sim racer or a gamer? Discuss.

 

[RustyCitroen]

Drivers like Max inspired me to get into sim racing. It's great to see how 'simulators' have gone from arcane PC jargonfests to endorsed-by-a-racing-driver PC jargonfests 😅

 

[Auditore]

1 v 1 me on Deep Forest bro.I promise i will leave space in the corners
i won't

None. He is a demolition derby driver. We have a lot of evidences...

Vinegar is still on sale, I see.

 

[kilesa4568]

Does he get penalties in iracing?

 

[anthonyfa18]

I really hope he becomes the New Ambassador of Gran Turismo and replaces Sir🙄 who we have now, I feel he give a lot more feed back to fan and game developer.

Forgot Silverstone?

Forgot Silverstone?

No I didnt. Max went from the outside to the inside. Hamilton always stayed in the inside. Its max fault. If someone says its lewis fault, for sure they need some glasses.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Yo, real racin' drivers 'bin using sims to improve their performance for decades brah...

 

[evldave333]

And still the embers burn lol
Coming in 2022... the driver of the day vote will now decide the outcome of the race in a genius move by Masi to rid himself of all responsibility, ah yes... now its your fault!

And let’s not forget what happens when Max is on the inside.
