My wife wondered if we are reaching the limit of human ability in athletics; I think we’re only reaching the limit of people who actually take part in those sports.

      Honestly, i think most sim drivers could not physically handle driving a real F1 car. And by most i mean like 99% of them.

      I mean accelerating a formula can hit you with force of 4g and in corners it can be even more than that.

        Yeah, it seems I made a quite ignorant comment; as taking these factors into account, would make it an entirely different showdown. Perhaps putting both in a simulator, sim drivers might outperform the drivers; but would challenge just a select set of abilities.
