Cedric Thomé

GGP : What is your favorite track to race and any particular reason?

Cedric : My favorite track is Japan, Suzuka because it has a nice flow and when you are in the zone it’s such a satisfying feeling to get right.

GGP : Back to F1 and the game,what do you think Codemasters should focus more in order to achieve that certain level of “realism”?

Cedric : They should focus on the handling and the design of the tracks. Handling is mainly because there’s a huge differences in Slow and High Speed performance if you compare it to a real F1 car, and the tracks because some of them are wrong and just don’t feel right,maybe laserscanning is the future.

GGP : Do you agree with the words around that F1 and in constrast professional sim racing is gatekept by expensive sim gear?

Cedric : No,that’s not true. I myself only had a Thrustmaster TMX with the stock pedals which were really bad and I qualified for the first 2 years of the Esports Program.

I think there are enough examples from other drivers that it’s still possible to get in F1 Esports with even worse equipment.

GGP : What are your tips to someone who wants to get into professional sim racing?

Cedric : Just do what you always do,drive to the limit and keep pushing yourself. With enough time and practice you’ll get there.

Thank you for joining us Cedric on this fine Friday night and answering a few questions.
