DÜSSELDORF – Le Mans winner Neel Jani won't feel his tires grip the road in a competitive environment for quite some time with the Formula E season suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.
That doesn't mean he can't find a race worth his time. To do that, he's been taking his auto racing skills online — and finding himself at times overmatched. “Against the gamers, it’s a different world,” he said. “They’re incredibly quicker than all of us, all of the real racing drivers." Pros from Formula One, NASCAR and other leading series are using race simulators to stay sharp and entertain fans with their seasons postponed by the outbreak.
