That brings us to the question of whether sim racing could change the future of racing. When Verstappen isn't racing on Grand Prix weekends, he is mostly competing on his sim racing setup. Although the prospect of sim racing might sound like a video game to many, the Dutchman's indoor racing sessions reportedly contribute to his racing prowess on an actual racetrack. Another example of a talent seasoned by sim racing is former Gran Turismo Academy winner Jann Mardenborough, who finished second at the Nürburgring in Haupt Racing Team’s No. Could Verstappen's success in real-world racing be an inspiration for budding drivers to train themselves differently through sim racing?
