Ever wondered what it takes to build a simulator so realistic that professional MotoGP riders use it for training? In this exclusive podcast, we sit down with the team from SevenSim, the brilliant engineers behind the official KTM MotoGP simulator. We go behind the scenes to explore how they brought this incredible piece of technology to life with insights from riders like Jonas Folger. But SevenSim is more than just racing. We dive deep into the world of industrial simulation, discovering how their technology is used for everything from professional training to complex logistics. We discuss the challenges of selling a futuristic idea, the delicate balance of blending art with engineering, and the surprising limitations of today's simulation technology. Join us as we explore the future of virtual reality and simulation, and find out what's next for a company that is truly building tomorrow's world, today. https://www.sevensim.at/

From dominating the F3 Championship to navigating the intense rumors of the F1 "Silly Season," Gabi opens up about the untold stories of his rapid rise to the pinnacle of motorsport.
