At Viraco we firmly believe in the power of data to make sim racers better, faster and more consistent. That applies not only to experienced racers, but also to the young talent taking their first steps in the Viraco Kids Academy. Thanks to our new race data analysis, our youngest drivers get access to insights that until recently were reserved for professional racers.
What do we mean by race data?
While driving, all kinds of data are collected – braking points, cornering speeds, acceleration and ideal lines. With the right analysis, that data turns into clear feedback and visual reports. Where sim racing used to be mostly a matter of feel, children can now improve in a targeted, well-founded way.
Why is this so valuable for our Kids Academy?
Children learn differently from adults. They need concrete, visual feedback and positive encouragement. Race data makes exactly that possible.
1. Simple, motivating feedback
After every session the children get a visual overview: where they brake too early or too late, which corners they lose speed in, and where they drift off the ideal line. Everything is presented in a child-friendly way, so the feedback motivates rather than discourages.
2. Rapid progress
Because the feedback is so clear and practical, children see results after a single session. They know exactly what to work on next time.
3. Genuinely personal coaching
The data gives our coaches an exact picture of what is going well and where the work lies. That lets them coach far more precisely and personally, matched to each child's level.
4. A unique experience in Belgium
Very few simcenters use race data analysis, and hardly any do it for children. That makes the Viraco Kids Academy a modern, one-of-a-kind programme where young racers pick up the right habits from the start.
What can parents expect?
After every session, parents receive an overview of their child's progress — focus, reaction speed and how they handle feedback, all things that matter well beyond racing.
