James Pull Review
" Cool Performance have the best sim out there and in my experience the most accurate. "
A sim is one of the most essential parts of motor racing as you have very little track time in real life so you need an alternative to getting seat time and the best thing you can get is a accurate sim. Cool Performance have the best sim out there and in my experience the most accurate. You can use it to prepare and fix problems that you know you have when you don’t have the track time available and often its a really good development tool for anyone who wants to practice racing. Using a Cool Performance sim alongside iRacing lets you get competitive practice and the closest thing you can get to real racing from home. Cool Performance is the next best thing to being at the track - it’s not like football we can’t just go to the pitch and kick a ball around. Without Cool Performance I wouldn’t be anywhere near as prepared as I am of the races.

James Pull x Cool Performance
GT3 Racing Driver James Pull trains on the GT Pro because there is very little track time in real life, and an accurate sim is the best way to get seat time. He uses it to prepare and fix problems he knows he has when track time is not available, and runs it alongside iRacing for competitive practice from home. In his words, without Cool Performance he would not be anywhere near as prepared for his races.
