One of the most active participants in cyber racing Max Verstappen tweeted a photo of his home simulator. The Dutchman posted a picture showing how the workplace of a virtual racer is arranged.
Verstappen needed four monitors at once. Three displays surround Max around the perimeter: apparently, in this way the pilot provides himself with maximum visibility to monitor all opponents. Another screen is located on top. It displays the lap times of Verstappen and his rivals, as well as telemetry elements.
In real racing, Verstappen does not have the opportunity to receive so much information at once. Telemetry and competitor results can be reported to Max by his engineer, but this does not happen as fast as in virtual races.
After examining the photos, you can see that Verstappen has at least three wheels. In addition to the one he uses during the race, there are two more nearby. It can be assumed that Max acquired spare steering wheels after a recent incident with a broken part. During one of the cyber races, Verstappen’s pedal fell off during a virtual competition.
Max holds a computer mouse and keyboard on the floor. The rider himself sits on an ergonomic chair specially made for virtual racing.
