From simulator to the podium. 🏁
Last December in Sebring, Florida, we supported .ch with Stefan Rupp and coach Vincent Capillaire at the Pistons & Props event on one of the world’s most iconic race tracks. They went to the start in a Ligier JS P320 – LMP3 Prototype.
🏎️💨 Preparation didn’t start on track: Before the first real stint, Stefan trained in a RacingFuel Simulator – same circuit, same car, comparable conditions.
The result was immediate: A seamless transition into the real race car. Even the coaching process benefited, as the simulator proved how closely simulation and reality can align – from braking points and racing lines to overall rhythm.
After each stint, real car data was analysed, compared with simulator runs and used to refine strategy and coaching. The simulator wasn’t a replacement – it was a true performance multiplier.
The outcome: a strong 3rd place at Pistons & Props 🏆, confirming that simulation, data and coaching can make a measurable difference in real-world motorsport.
Big thanks to for the great hospitality and warm welcome. 🧡
