The world of video games has evolved to the point that we are now at the level of simulation, in any theme covered. This virtual universe suggests reality with increasingly astonishing precision while the environment has become a real economic and social issue. There are even championships with online players who are real professionals. In MotoGP, Yamaha has its console rider and his name is Lorenzo Daretti. It's the eSports alter ego of a Valentino Rossi who gives his opinion on the subject...
The new official MotoGP video game, “ MotoGP 19“, was released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and it allows you to challenge the great champions of the premier category or start a career by participating in the Red Bull Rookies Cup.
The Tavullia champion turned out to be a big fan of the video game: “ I grew up with video games since I was five or six years old. I started with the Commodore, then I got the Amiga with the floppy disks, then the console came along, where you had to press the play button » he declared during the weekend in Mugello. “ I still play a lot, but more with cars than with motorcycles, I feel better. It's great because now you can play online. But it's something I've gotten a little too old for, because it wasn't there when I was young » joked Valentino Rossi.
« You wouldn't have imagined having an official championship five or six years ago. It's nice to see how fast and accurate they are. They spend a lot of time and they are very, very strong. Much stronger than me, unfortunately. It's good and certainly less dangerous » underlines the Doctor.
