Car Quote by Martin Truex Jr
“Our racing simulator is more about gathering data about the car, trying different setups, and trying to find speed in the actual racecar as opposed to speed in the actual driver. There's no other way to get that kind of testing in, without doing the actual event, or getting outside and spending the money to make it happen. And it costs a lot to go to the racetrack.”
About This Quote
Testing car performance requires real-world racing data, which is costly and cannot be fully replicated elsewhere.
In simple terms: Real race data is essential for car testing.
