In this thrilling episode, Mark McCann sets out to answer the burning question: can driving in a racing simulator actually make you faster in real life? Armed with a Ford P.M R5 car and a World Rally Championship test track, Mark embarks on a daring experiment that will leave you on the edge of your seat. But hold on tight, because the results are mind-blowing.

Before diving into the heart-pounding action, Mark takes some time to familiarize himself with the treacherous circuit. This track has seen the best of the best, and now it's Mark's turn to conquer it. After a few practice laps and a heart-stopping moment, he sets his benchmark lap time. A respectable effort, but can he do better?

Now it's time to enter the world of virtual racing. Mark hops into his state-of-the-art WRC rally simulator, complete with a motion rig that replicates every jolt and turn. With the help of the EA Sports WRC game, Mark fine-tunes the simulator to match the specifications of his real car. And let me tell you, folks, this simulator is the real deal.

With an hour on the clock, Mark dives into the virtual world, honing his skills and overcoming his weaknesses. The simulator allows him to practice risky maneuvers, like the hydraulic handbrake turn, without the fear of damaging his car. And boy, does he make progress. With newfound confidence and improved techniques, Mark is ready to take on the track once again.

Day two arrives, and the tension is palpable. Mark warms up the car, knowing that today there will be no reset button. He must rely on his skills and the lessons learned in the simulator. The hydraulic handbrake proves to be a game-changer, helping him navigate the tricky corners with finesse. And when the dust settles, Mark emerges victorious, shaving nearly two seconds off his previous lap time.

This incredible experiment proves that the line between the virtual and real world is blurrier than ever. Driving in a racing simulator can indeed make you faster in real life. So, if you're looking to improve your skills and get a taste of the adrenaline-pumping world of rally racing, grab a simulator and start practicing. The results will leave you breathless. See you next Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. for more thrilling adventures with Mark McCann.
