Sacha Fenestraz Review
" I believe having a simulator at home benefits me endlessly "
The Cool Performance Simulator Is great! It has already helped me this year in preparation for this season in FIA F3. I believe having a simulator at home benefits me endlessly. I can practice as much as I want and refer to the Cool Performance team for ways of improvement or general help. I live with Lando Norris and so we are practicing against each other, practising our race craft and qualifying speed.
Sacha Fenestraz, 2019 Japanese F3 Champion.
