Too Afraid to Ask

A racing simulator is like a video game that feels very real. You sit in a seat, use a steering wheel and pedals, and the computer shows you how a car would drive on a track.

Technical Definition

Simulators are computer-based racing setups that replicate the feel of driving a real car, including steering, braking, and throttle response. They allow drivers to practice without the cost or risk of a physical vehicle.
