Now you can now experience a real race track remotely

Get ready to experience a new type of racing with Avicar. The new private race league leverages off Remote Reality, which allows drivers to experience and control real-world sports cars on a physical race track from thousands of miles away. Distinguishing itself from virtual or augmented reality, Remote Reality allows for a truly immersive environment.

It Takes Two To Tango

To ensure that the technology is top tier, Avicar is collaborating with top developers, race car drivers, car designers, and ex-NASA engineers to shake up the industry. The brand has partnered with Siemens, who will serve as its technology partner to develop this next generation of motorsports by using digital twin technology.

The Avicar team stated, “If Formula 1 is F1, Avicar is known in short form as A-0, a representation of the future. A real-world motorsport where drivers sync with physical vehicles from home – a first of its kind. As Wi-Fi, 5G, and satellite speeds have increased dramatically, Remote Reality opens the door to a new world of immersive experiences.”

How It Works

Avicar technology takes the feed from livestream cameras on board which are transmitted via high-speed Wi-Fi, 5G, or satellite to a driver’s headset. This allows the driver to experience and control the physical cars in real-time as if they were actually in the car.

The microsecond real-time reactivity and tactile response — a first for the industry — means you can essentially control a real race car without leaving the comfort of your own home. By transporting the driver seat from the vehicle to the safety of home, now anyone can experience what it feels like to be an F1 driver.

Rani Shea, Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Advanta North America, stated, “We are excited to help Avicar transform motorsports using digital twins and Remote Reality. Through the industry’s most comprehensive digital twin technology, Siemens will enable Avicar to accelerate how these vehicles move from concept to production-ready race cars – opening up vast opportunities for innovation in design and manufacturing.”

What Does The Future Hold

Avicar is taking not just motorsports to a whole new level, but it could potentially also be the start of a whole new kind of e-sports and collaborations like this will give more people the chance to expand their horizons. Would you actually like to try this though? It seems interesting for sure and we would definitely love to try it out. Check out the Official Avicar Website for further information.
