There’s more to being a simulator driver than meets the eye. From supporting the race team during every track session to testing Formula 1 car parts that haven’t even been made yet, McLaren’s sim driver plays a pivotal role within the team.

Oliver Turvey, McLaren’s Test and Development Driver explains the details of the role, and how our World’s Fastest Gamer winner will have to adapt to the simulator environment and stay calm under pressure.
