I raised the question on variables, which he said the simulator takes these into account & adjusts itself accordindly. BUt you raise a good point on Temps... the wind factor might be controlled by the simulator.
I asked what the cost would be per run, and that hasn't been confirmed. Considering the time involved to setup a car on a dyno how cost effective would this be compared to real drag racing, he said the simulators has pre-programmed specs so you'd type the car model in, and the simulator adjust itself, you drive up onto the ramp, then the simulator automatically clamps the car in...
How comparable the times would be to say real drag racing is debateable, but i'm not sure that's its main purpose, and might be just a fun thing more than anything. A point he raised was the police argument on how this could help reduced the impact on illegal street racing??
all this sounded a little beyond belief, but who knows, we might have to wait & see??
