Porsche Mission R cockpit is a race simulator

Last iRacing addition has a surprising feature which is somehow overseen. Driver module can work as a racing simulator. We recover official information about this feature along with some real test of the car. You can appreciate how electric race car performs on track.

Genuine racing and esports merge in the Mission R. This is due to its monocoque type driver cell that is designed as a self-contained module and can be used in exactly the same form outside the vehicle as a simulator. This allows the racing driver to prepare virtually for his next race in a familiar environment. And the racing drivers of tomorrow can also take part in esports events.

The interaction possibilities offered by the Mission R are also aimed at a young and enthusiastic motorsports community: it is pre-equipped to provide a livestream broadcast from inside the car, and the driver can connect with his fans at the touch of a button. They in turn can communicate directly with him by sending him likes, for example.

Particularly realistic race training on the simulator

The seat, steering wheel, controls, adjustable pedals and screens form a compact unit in the Mission R and lie on the same axis, i.e. the driver’s axis. This allows the driver to concentrate on essentials during the race.

At the same time, this driver module design enables a second driver’s cell to be used outside the Mission R as a racing simulator. With the aid of movable, electrically controlled supports, the dynamic forces that impact on the driver can be simulated – when braking, for example, or as a result of rolling motions during fast cornering. Due to the familiar surroundings with identical display and control elements and the same full bucket seat, this kind of training would be extremely realistic and highly effective.
