“It’s unbelievable. I can’t believe the intensity where you are racing these guys on the simulator. I was burning up – my head felt so hot because you have to be so focused. I didn’t think I was quick enough, but I just put the laps together, and it was pretty damn good – I’m surprised.” “I think it’s cool because the sim racers are really good. They spend a lot of hours on it. One of the things you could see was the racecraft from the guys that have done a lot of real racing start to pay off. In pure lap speed, the sim guys are really good, but I think we got them today in the little details.  “I’m a big believer that sim racing is going to be huge – but after today, this is a different level – it was incredible.”
