JAKARTA - GT-Sim Representative Raira Bhaskara said the racing fan community, especially professional racers, increasingly see a racing simulator more than just a game, but rather as a serious racing simulation sport, so that currently it is quite developed. The leading racing teams, including in Formula 1, entrust simulators to build and test their car sets before facing competition on the real track. So, look at the resemblance to the original one, it's 90-95 percent. Both from the steering wheel, whether the information provided by the steering wheel provides feedback. Gas input, brakes, and all of that can be said to be similar to 95 percent, said Raira during a press conference Lapagaming Battle Arena at Mall Taman Anggrek, Jakarta, Friday quoted by Antara. Players who are proficient in racing simulators enjoy an invaluable experience, such as the ability to quickly adapt to real racing cars with much less effort. Despite challenges such as speed and G-Force remain different, basic elements such as steering, gas response, and brakes are strikingly similar. In the simulator world, errors can be restarted without the fatal consequences that may occur in real life. If we are interested in being racers, it is recommended to use simulators, because of cost efficiency. For example, if we subscribe to games, we just restart. If in the real world, we subscribe, we can't restart our lives. If nabrak in the simulator, the car is correct again, "said Raira.

It is important to remember that the selection of learning methods also depends on individual goals. For someone who wants to learn to be a racer, simulators can be a more attractive choice at relatively low cost and deep learning potential. However, it is different for daily car driving on the highway. According to Raira, learning directly remains a more relevant option, even though differences in traffic laws in each country can be a challenge in itself. For example, for ordinary car meetings, we also have applications that are city simulators. But connecting at the Indonesia Traffic Law is different, and it seems that if you want to learn the car, it's better to learn directly, "explained Raira.
