Rob King was instrumental in getting Digital Motorsports to where it is – a place where it’s successful enough to have been just acquired by Canadian investors ESE Entertainment – and is now starting to look beyond the conventional.

While King admits that there will always be a gap between simulation and the real world, he says that the tech can still be hugely helpful.

Recently, Digital Motorsports helped to run an event for Charles Hurst Ferrari in Belfast, where people who made a charitable donation could use one of the simulators to set lap-times in a simulated Ferrari racing car. That’s working with the most storied brand in racing, but it’s still at the smaller end of what’s possible.
