The event, which runs on the sim-racing platform rFactor 2, features a total of 180 participants \u2014 a mix of real-life drivers and professional sim racers \u2014 competing in teams of four.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Just like at the real Le Mans, teammates take turns racing for hours at a time over the course of a full day. In the virtual version, though, they compete in their own sim-racing rigs from their respective homes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI started racing [in video games] with a controller way back when I was 4 or 5 years old,\u201d Verstappen said in an interview with The Washington Post. \u201cI don\u2019t really have a lot of free time anymore to compete in big sim races, but this one is very important to me and the team \u2014 and we\u2019re hoping for a great weekend to bring home the win.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Founded in 2020, the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual was intended as a pandemic stopgap to replace that year\u2019s postponed, real-life Le Mans. But it proved to be a surprise hit, generating more than 20 million viewers across TV and streaming, later spawning an entire sim-racing endurance series with participation from real-life car manufacturers including Ferrari, Porsche and BMW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Verstappen has been a key participant in the series since its inception and is glad to be bringing more attention to the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI\u2019ve really enjoyed seeing the sim-racing community get more and more recognition these past few years,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone can see how professional it has become.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Verstappen is no stranger to esports. Since 2015, he has participated in a variety of sim races with Team Redline, a long-standing esports organization. He says that his team\u2019s approach to this weekend\u2019s race is not dissimilar to how he prepares for a typical Formula One Grand Prix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cWe treat this like a real, live race,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re fine-tuning the car\u2019s setup and testing it in the hottest and coldest conditions, in rainy and dry weather, and in both night and day. There are weeks of preparation that go into this, and a lot of people don\u2019t realize that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Verstappen spoke with The Washington Post about his game plan for this weekend\u2019s race, his fascination with sim racing and why he feels it makes him a better Formula One driver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><i>The following interview has been edited for length and clarity.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>Launcher: You\u2019ve been participating in the virtual Le Mans every year since it began in 2020.

And in real racing, a lot relies on what you feel through the wheel. I must say, though, that simulators are getting quite accurate \u2014 I would say it\u2019s now 90 percent accurate to a real racecar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>It\u2019s becoming fairly common to hear about up-and-coming drivers who got their start in sim racing.

I still think that for people who grew up only using a simulator, it\u2019s quite a big step to go straight into real-world racing. But we\u2019ve seen that happen before, so nothing is impossible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Another key difference is there is a certain physicality to real racing \u2014 you need to be fit and well trained. On a simulator, even if you don\u2019t have that, you can still manage to be really quick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>Everyone lays out their sim-racing rig differently.

A few years back, I was really, seriously into it. I was trying as much as I could to be on a professional level. But you really can\u2019t combine being a Formula One driver and a high-level FIFA player. Most of my free time now is spent on the simulator, but if I get a few spare hours, I might still sneak in a few FIFA games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>How do you manage your 24 hours during a virtual race like this?

You\u2019ll crash, and people will ask, \u2018Are you looking for payback or redemption?\u2019 But I never look at it like that. Last year, that was a very big and unnecessary mistake, and I felt sorry for my teammates because we could have won the championship.
