Well it's time to join Adam Russia for this week's game on and then just a few hours someone will have a new job as part of McLaren's racing team here's Adam I know this is game on and I'm Adam Ross of. The McLaren motor sport company's been in the vanguard of technological advances in motor racing for years their 1st all carbon fiber bodied Carvey m.p. For Smash one was wild out on the 5th of March 981 McLaren stung to develop its simulated technology 20 years ago now the company has 3 custom rigs including one dedicated for use by its Formula One team and no one else Last Monday I was at the company's Norman Foster designed headquarters outside working think Bond villain style left and you won't be far wrong for the press play for their latest innovation the world's fastest game a competition 12 gamers 6 chosen in open competition across a variety of platforms and 6 selected by a panel were assembled at the McLaren Technology Center for over a week of competition the complete this week with the announcement of who will be getting a spot at the company to drive the dedicated computer simulator and be part of McLaren racing thank Brown is the executive director of McLaren technology group and when we met last Monday I asked him why they decided to hold the world's fastest game a competition e-sports is critically important to the simulation in a form Formula One teams now so much of what we do is simulation and so and also sports is becoming the new grassroots of motor sport to be carting which is a very expensive venture and that it's also a younger more diverse audience around the globe so it's a combination of all those factors creating new McLaren fans ultimately the best simulator drivers will help contribute like all overdoes to the real racing and contributing to our race team create a bigger audience create a yeah. Her audience so it ticks lots of Oxus it seems to be of well meaning northern european there is somebody from Mexico but it's a northern hemisphere at the moment does that trouble you well didn't trouble you you know you the we had lots of participants and ultimately the best ones are going to be you who make it to the final 12 we can't control age gender geography I think what we can do next time around is make sure that we get the word out about world's fastest game or to the most diverse broad geographic gender and then you know we're always going to be this is a competition so the best 12 are going to rise to the top no matter where they come from we can't manufacture that football soccer n.f.l. Cricket of all realize that the younger so cohorts won't coming to behind a paywall or if they were seen to be inaccessible you know we've got lots of young consumers out there that eventually one of these days are gone to hopefully by a McLaren road car at the extreme so we've got a huge fan base we want to engage with that fan base and the sports is a fantastic way to really have someone I want to gauge meant between or racing team our brand in and the consumer with their steering wheel in their hand well it stops it from being gimmicky that the payouts real you know what we're going to expect the simulator driver to contribute to our Formula One team so you know sponsors maybe in the past have done an official pick remember in reality they're just gonna hang around or in the outfit but we don't want to touch in the car this is going to become a job for someone so I think there's a big difference between the 2 there is an event in London tonight the schools industry awards but there don't seem to be any driving gangs in that wants this time around do you think that's going to change I hope that will change I think that will change I think we're the 1st movers in the space is a Formula One team Formula One's now doing there e Sports I'm sure other teams will follow and then that awareness I'm sure things you know the industry will recognise its popularity and embrace it next year around for me to retell something in. Trysting there's the boosts people get voted for on social media so that's a real world sport with this one online and Gage mint this quantity makes you think anything like that's going to come to Formula One or they get to conservative. To conservatives the right right word but I think what formally does is excellent that manner I think we need to engage with our fan base how you do that there's many different ways whether it's the t.v. Shows or the rock stars who fans are voting but I think e-sports a social and digital media are a great way to engage with the faith and it needs to be a 2 way conversation whether that manifests itself in do actually on track competition I think would be early to tell that Brown there someone with more than half an eye on the future and the Olivers that mentioned is someone we'll hear from later during Cox developed the world's fastest game a competition is a hidden gem of e Sports You know there are millions and millions of people racing online right now whether that be on a mobile phone or whether that be on a you know 10000 pound. Rig in a time when motorsport audiences are getting older and getting smaller there is a ready made bunch of fans out there there are racing that have got an amazing amount the knowledge about our sport that the sport isn't engaging and it's just about now happening that everybody's doing that it's into the make their point if people aren't wanting to drive fast cars fast while my wanting to watch other people drive fast cars fast or while my converting to an audience for actual f one Well I think the new f one owners are making some strides towards that you know everyone's been very secretive up to this point and one of the things these guys want is information they want behind the scenes stories not just of the drivers but of the technology and of the data you know there was a time when Lewis published some of his data traces and everyone threw a fit about that and quite rightly but why not show that data why not show boy Lewis is quicker than Valtteri around in a certain corners he's braking better is there just the mid corner speeds better. You would engage the audience is a lot you know look at Premier League football the amount of movement has been taken in terms of data and on our know that someone run 10 kilometers and someone else has run 7 kilometers and why would I pick him rather than him because he's passed accuracy is 87 percent rather than 67 percent and that's been sucked up by the fans and that's not happened in motor racing where these guys know exactly why they're fast on the game because they understand that data they understand it better than anyone else so easy just about you know sport motor racing engaging with younger audience in the way they want to be engaged with and that doesn't necessarily mean with a big subscription to behind a paywall company is about providing more and more content for free where they are either on You Tube or Twichell one of these platforms and they're engaged with the material and they're making a capital investment some of them in bits of kids who allow them to play the games Watty what my problems will be with my motor racing and computer games is I learnt to drive by driving not by driving a computer simulation I still don't get the feedbacks from the simulations that I get from the real world so when I try to drive fast cars on these things it was horribly wrong I can actually drive fast cars I can do it here now is that because my skill sets wrong or I'm not engaged with the material are I'm using the wrong technology to engage with the games I think guys of our generation of got to completely turn our heads back to front is a brilliant study from America which talks about why the m.l.s. The Major League Soccer has been such a success so fast and start to challenge some of the big sports over there and one of the main reasons is fee for the game the kids over there are finding out about football through a game and then at some point they will watch a game at some point they'll buy a jersey and at some point they might kick a football now for us it was the other way around we kicked a football 1st we did a study 2 years ago where 78 percent of gamers found motor racing through gaming not the other way around you and I would have drank the Brands Hatch. Or somewhere and watch the racing and got into it not got into it these guys don't get that the audience is even at club racing events are going down the way that we're finding our new fans has to be through these these platforms so yes you and I might not be very fast on a simulator but these kids are and in a way that's the way they're finding how to drive on the roads as well and there's some there's some road safety programs that are using simulation technology in the developing countries that the f.i.a. Are backing and they're helping reduce accident levels by people starting to drive on simulators Of course not as expensive for as complex as the ones we have here at the McLaren Technology Center but it's a way of teaching people how to drive without making having accidents so I think the answer to your question is it's a generational thing but if you try hard you know and you put yourself in the mindset of if I crash something's going to happen you will find yourself getting faster and better on the simulators the more conservative in koan is braking that slightly harder than I would actually to yes why does McLaren need another simulator driver and why from this community we've just heard all of it's saying he's done $400.00 days since he's been at McLaren in the simulator McLaren got 3 simulators we understand Red Bull got 3 simulators for senior of the 2 simulators the amount of testing is being reduced in the real world and focus and effort and performance are being put on again in the virtual world who says that a failed if you like racing driver gets to form a 3 or 4 let's say will be the best simulates driver who knows because that might be someone who comes from the virtual world so McLaren are thinking ahead there are these millions of millions of gamers you know I remember saying Fernando Alonso anyone one of these championships and someone said and it was about to be the best rice in drive in the world he said I'm not the best racing driver in the world there's a guy driving a bus in Mexico that is he just doesn't know it yet there are significantly more people racing online than there are racing in the real world so why is it that someone it's not backed by government with oil money or their dad with money that they've made or their dad's business associates that gets to form on because of money or doesn't get from one because of money and therefore can become a simulator driver. It's going to be any better they go and it's got no money that we find in the virtual world this is a brilliant engineer this fantastically intelligent and communicative lot of things you need for simulator driver that works for the team that can improve the performance of McLaren going forward you understand the setup of the car is played with the engine settings itself in the simulators that's that dynamic relationship and the u.k. British games makers are very very central to that industry we have a number of studios here that lead the market so McLaren doing this in a place where we have market leaders making the simulators themselves. All levels in fact you know Codemasters is based in the Midlands they might be from a long game all the way up to as you say my family one of the 1st Formula One teams do simulation the smaller businesses like base performance and next Formula One test drive a downturn a set that business that many many years ago so all levels are the big gaming with it be the high end McLaren all those sort of 3rd party suppliers they're all based in the u.k. To a certain extent So again it's one of those technology stories you know a subset of the motor sport community and industry around the most sport Valley that we lead in the u.k. You're working with McLaren unite member of McCarran they just employed someone who's going to be the head of the sports and do you find that encouraging Absolutely and they won't be the last McLaren a leading in this space we are asked all the time what McLaren up to the other team should be doing not just in full on in other sports and my family just taking the lead and they will reap benefits and as Brown who heads up this project for McLaren and the f one team said you know they're our partners and sponsors are looking at this space that want to be involved and one of the reasons they want to be involved is because of the glamour of Formula One the fact that you're bringing a different audience now we have got people that watch the content and the films that we're making around this people are playing the games are all of the audience to isn't watching from the one today so partners and sponsors want to be part of this and therefore my. Aaron we're going to take advantage of that and we're going to resource themselves to do that how far of do you think it is will find an f one driver on the course who actually came to it through games rather than coming to it through karting and Formula Ford and all those other different vectors we've already got one and I think the issue is the u.s.b. Other define where they came through gaming or through the real routes going forward Lando Norrish turns 18 Today's been announced in last couple of weeks as McLaren's reserve and test driver if you ask him if he's a gamer race or both you know the guy races on I race thing all the time he's in the simulator when he's not racing or gaming so the crossovers happened you know these guys are coming through even makes a snap and he doesn't like to admit it but I raced for a virtual race to include redline racing while he was also racing in the real world so the crossovers come it's happened we missed that we've got a game with it probably be the next world champion no emacs or stamp and we've got these young kids coming through that land there Norris from McLaren There are both gamers and racing drivers so it's happened in the course of our previous project with g.t. Academy we showed that you know we had at $1.00 guys that were racing around the world that the never raced a race car before they didn't at all competitions so it's already happened it's not up on everybody and this is now the future you won't be able to be a real driver if you haven't raced in the virtual world and done a huge amount of time in the simulator all of a turvy knows the simulator possibly better than anyone else he's the f one team's test driver and he came up the traditional route when the McLaren or its 1000000000 drive of the Year award at the end
