alt Hacker NewsDo you realize how much stamina and physical prowess are required to drive an F1 car?

Yes, I'm pretty sure most people will realize that the difference between the stamina and physical prowess needed to go from driving virtual F1 races to driving real F1 is much less than the difference between the stamina and physical prowess you need to go from being a soldier in call of duty to being a real soldier.
You know, the former involves physical steering wheels, shifters, pedals, realistic vehicle models, etc.
Meanwhile the latter involves pressing a single button to reload a fire arm and clicking a mouse button to fire.
You have to be pretty dense to think that aiming with a mouse has any resemblance to aiming with sights or a scope or even just pulling the trigger. You know, real guns have recoil.
Meanwhile most high end steering wheels have force feedback that can "fight back".
Yes, from what I understand, their heart rate is really high during competition, they are sweating a lot, and then their necks have to be strong.
I was curious about your point and it turns out that the gamer beat the F1 driver but they were both in a VUHL 05 which is a road-legal supercar. It seems like they were on a mountain road track too.
