A big fan of Formula 1 racer Ayrton Senna, Japanese Atsushi Hiraoka has published on his YouTube channel a new video with a cosplay of one of the racing circles of the famous athlete. Atsushi reproduces not only Senna's ride, but also his equipment.

• Especially in order to replicate the real racing experience of his idol in virtual space, Hiraoka put together a racing simulator of his own design with multiple monitors, advanced computer equipment and the ability to simulate feedback. The rFactor 2 game acts as a virtual shell.
• For the last onboard, Atsushi used an analogue of Ayrton Senna's racing jumpsuit, helmet and shoes. He was unable to obtain gloves like this, so Hiraoka bought a sewing machine capable of working with leather and sewed them himself. He also decorated his simulator with a copy of Senna's car rearview mirror specifically for this recording. The virtual race involved a computer copy of the McLaren HondMP4 / 6, which Ayrton was driving, with the appropriate settings.

• A similar (only larger-scale) simulator is used by Mercedes-AMG to adjust the running gear of its One hypercar in a virtual environment. And the company Aston Martin in the fall of last year offered its own "game console" to everyone: the simulator AMR-C01 developed by the designers of the company turned out to be more expensive than a real Porsche Boxster.
