We dive deep to discuss Virtual Racing School, how being a pro sim racer works (where does the money come from?!), dealing with a lack of sensory input from the sim, sensing the limit in a sim, the accuracy of car setups in the sim, brain neuroplasticity and adapting to sims and real cars. Oh, and David offers sim coaching services.<\/p>\n<p>David\u2019s speed secret: Be deliberately willing to push beyond your ability in measured amounts.<\/p>\n<p>David is an Avid motorsport enthusiast with 13 years of experience and success across multiple sims with VRS Coanda Simsport.
