Big cost

It needs a lot of money to cultivate a real racer, a family need to start practice their children since they were young and pay a lot of money to take part in race competition from lower category to higher until they become pro racer. For example, children need to start from cartings and get good grades in order to win a chance to higher category race. Besides, this high cost includes potential expenses for car repairs in case of accidents, which can be exorbitantly high. However, as a sim-racer, they just need to buy equipments like a steering wheel, bases, pedals, and a gaming PC or a console.

physical feelings

Real-life racing offers a full sensory experience that sim racing cannot fully replicate. Sim racers may not feel the car's movement, such as dive and roll, as vividly as in real-life racing. This lack of sensory feedback, especially in braking zones and trail braking, can be a significant gap for sim racers transitioning to real cars.

precision in tracks and cars in simulators

Modern sim racing platforms often use laser-scanned tracks, offering high precision and realism in terms of track layout and features. This aspect makes sim racing an excellent tool for learning and practicing on different circuits. Also, the development teams of sim racing software work closely with real racing teams to accurately simulate car dynamics. However, those datas of tracks and cars are still based on simulate. In real life racing, tracks' and cars' can be different in every second.

a lot of chances vs. only one chance
