Video: Simulator vs. Real Life Porsche 911 Carrera


I don’t think track days are going away anytime soon, but track driving can experienced in your basement now better than ever before. Check out the above video of Porsche 911 Carrera S being driven around the Autodromo Vallelunga near Rome. On left, the real thing. On right, the Assetto Corsa racing simulator.

    I like that he took the time do dress up in the right sweater and wristwatch.

      I don’t have time to watch all the videos, but have questions:
      How does he perfectly match the wrinkles in his actual sleeves from actual driving into the game version? Wouldn’t they vary at least a little bit?
      How does he cause the game ‘opponents’ to be in exactly the same position as he encountered in reality, on the real track?
      I’m sure I’m missing something important, but this seems like actual video being translated into virtual form. That would be lame.
