Johnny's statement on simulators is very misinformed. If you are practicing race craft on a simulator like iracing and are actively trying to race clean and usually have people around you that race clean you can learn alot. He shouldn't be blaming dangerous driving on video games because that has no correlation to on track behavior in professional racing.

+Nathan Saxon , just take a look at Max Verstappen. He trains his overtaking on the simulator, with guys who are on the same level of seriousness.

Maurice Wijma Maurice that is exactly my point. Practicing race craft on a simulator can actually make you a cleaner racer especially on services like iracing which is what Max uses. I feel that being said by a professional racer like Mr. O'Connell here that simulators make people wreck less is a terrible message to send and really degrades the people that use them to improve their skillset.

+Nathan Saxon The concept behind SAFE is FAST is to have top drivers weigh in with their honest views of different aspects of racing. Sometimes their views differ. As a four-time Pirelli Challenge Champion, Johnny O’Connell is certainly entitled to his. He’s an old school guy, and quite naturally a bit suspicious of people who have come up a different way. We have also produced four videos on simulators that give a somewhat different view. You might enjoy these: kzitem.info/door/PLcFpdjj4k8HHusYp-PPmXXY28KmqBR0_M

That guy at the end says it well. The race is like boxing. Rules are in place but you should protect yourself at all times.

Blaming dangerous driving on racing games is stupid, but he is right about what online races usually are. There are no consecuences.. Simulators on XBOX and PlayStation are exactly that. Same goes for PC to be honest. Except for one thing. That thing is called 'iRacing'. I've been more than 10 years trying to "play" online. Forza, Gran Turismo, Assetto Corsa, Project CARS (LOL), rFactor 2... Always thinking "iRacing is too expensive, it won't be worth the money". Then i gave it a go and had to shut up my mouth.

Another excellent and thought-provoking video! Johnny O’Connel’s attempt at equating entertainment console gaming (Xbox or PlayStation) with proper racing simulation is inaccurate and misleading. Console gameplay as depicted in the video is not proper racing simulation. Johnny O’Connell’s comments at 4:23 in the video may reflect frustration with some of his fellow racers. Comparing their racing aptitude to arcade style “racing” on gaming consoles certainly communicates his disdain for poor driving of some competitors! The similarity that he states between their driving and the arcade style racing as presented in the video and seen on consoles like Xbox or PlayStation does not justify a causal connection. In short, Johnny’s remarks are akin to saying, “Certain drivers behave on track like they are in a video game, with inadequate regard for the consequences of car-to-car contact.” Blaming console gaming for racers’ on track behavior is far-fetched, disconnected, and unrealistic. Attempting to connect poor racing behavior with console gaming, and then calling it racing simulation indicates a wholesale ignorance of the value of proper racing simulation, rather than console gaming, as an effective training tool. Racing drivers are individually responsible for and should be fully aware of their on-track behavior. Blaming atrocious driving on video games distracts us from individual driver responsibility and does disservice to the racing sport, community, fellow drivers, and officials who should be collectively coercing and educating wayward racers to mend their errant ways. Confiscating their PlayStations will not achieve the desired results. Regarding the statement at 4:38 by Corey Fergus - “In simulator racing there are no consequences” - a more complete statement would read, “Racing simulation offers the full array of consequences, to whatever extent the user or users collectively choose to implement.” The user of racing simulation chooses the extent and severity of consequences that will be observed. Here’s an example from an industry that has fully embraced simulation for more than a century - combat and commercial aviation. As a pilot, if I were to fail my instrument takeoff, approach, critical procedures, or landing while flying my annual check ride in the Airbus A300 or Air Force F-16 simulator, I would be grounded from flight duties until such time as I successfully completed remedial training and demonstrated the required flying proficiency in the simulator. Full consequences observed. I gladly invite Johnny O’Connell and any doubters to visit RaceCraft1, where we develop exceptional racing drivers by harnessing the full capabilities of racing simulation as a valuable supplement to track time. Respectfully, Kelly Jones RaceCraft1
