Jamie McMurray at Apex wheel

MMI recently installed a SimCraft racing simulator in MMI’s driver’s lounge, known officially as the “Smoke Lounge.”  The Apex sc830 Professional Racing Simulator unit is outfitted with iRacing software to simulate real-like racing conditions and motions.  The unit has already caught the curiosity of several MMI clients who have hopped on board for fun or prepare for an upcoming test or race, including 2010 Daytona 500 Champion Jamie McMurray.  The unit is especially helpful to the younger development drivers that lack the track time at certain race tracks, some of which they have never visited before.  It also provides the more experienced driver and their engineers with valuable set-up information for specific tracks.  New track records are sure to follow.
