Agustín Canapino – Sim Racing Setup Build

Today we review one of the great South American drivers; Agustin Canapino, who is well known in the world of simulators for being a Williams Sports driver and one of the fastest in iRacing. We have some lines from his supplier ISA Simuladores.

Agustín Canapino, aka the Great Simulator (as it is usually called in his Albiceleste country) is a curious case within motor racing, since he never competed in karting, and today, he is multiple champion in Tourism cars in Argentina, with outstanding participations abroad such as the 24hs of Daytona.

Before starting to race in cars he was already a simracer. “When I was a kid I took the simulator very seriously” – he said. From there he went straight to national motoring, where he achieved 14 National Titles. At the same time, he continues to compete in simulators as Williams driver, being one of the top references in the world. Only in 2020, he has made a podium in races such as the 24hs of Nurburging, the 24hs of LeMans (iRacing) and the 24hs of Official LeMans (rfactor 2).

The Titan usually trains in its ISA simulator (ISA Simulators), which it has in constant updating. Here we describe the cockpit it currently has:

• ISA Chassis: Tubular structure manufactured 100% by ISA
• ISA Pedalboard: Tilton Hydraulic Pedalboard, assembled and configured by ISA
• DirectDrive: Leo Bodnar SteeringSteering 2 Servo Engine (will soon be mounting a SimuCube 2)
• Flyer: Precision Simsteering – Quickrelease ISA
• 3 Screens : 3×27 Benq 2k 144hz
• Dash 5″ (for JRT)
• Auxiliary screen 27″, to see acquisition and extras.
• Vroom Antishock chair

When we consulted Agustín about the work of several years in his simulator, “I seek a balance between the greatest possible realism without it harming me when it comes to going as fine as possible. I use a somewhat heavy ForceFeedback to get a better feel for the car. As for the screens, having the Freesync synchronized with the Gsync of the Nvidia board makes the image spectacular”.

Besides seeing Agustin on the track every weekend, several of us have seen his Twitch streams (including Lando Norris during the 24hs of LeMans) which he stream from an auxiliary PC:

See you on the track!
