Скачать или смотреть 1971 v 2021 - Real Life vs Sim Comparison - Monza - How Accurate?!!

1971 Monza Formula 1 GP was the fastest ever F1 race, which held that status for over 30 years. Not only that, it was the closest finish with 5 cars covering 0.62 of a second. This race features Red Bull’s Helmut Marko, Jackie Stewart + ex Moto GP riders of their day, John Surtees and the Mike Hailwood.

Today we sit in the Lotus D71. The big engine and heavy steering are transferred into the driving feel. The car has front and rear wings but the car still has a tendency to understeer, while the rear is also twitchy on the corner exit.

So how does a 2021 Simulator compare against what times were done on the first lap at Monza in 1971? How accurate are current sims?
