The Simulator Paradox - How eSports Are Rewiring Real¿World Racing

From basement rigs to Formula One simulators, this book dives into the rise of sim-racing as a global phenomenon, its role in developing new generations of elite drivers, and the groundbreaking technology that blurs the line between pixels and pavement.

Whether you're a lifelong motorsport fan, an aspiring sim-racer, or simply curious about the future of competition, The Simulator Paradox is your definitive guide to a racing revolution unfolding in real time.
