The Neuroscience of SIM Racing

---

Sim racing isn’t just about speed—it’s about how the brain processes, adapts, and optimizes performance over time. From mastering new tracks to improving reaction times and refining racecraft, neuroscience plays a critical role in every aspect of a driver’s performance.

In this Neuroscience of Sim Racing series, Filippo Barbieri, Neuroscientist & Sim Racer, explores the cognitive and neurological processes behind elite sim racing. Each month, we dive into key topics like memory consolidation, visual processing, reaction time, cognitive interference, and motor recalibration, offering science-backed insights to help racers train smarter and perform better.

Whether you’re a beginner looking to improve consistency or an experienced racer aiming for faster lap times, these articles will provide practical strategies grounded in neuroscience to help you gain a competitive edge.

Stay tuned for monthly write-ups and take your sim racing to the next level!
