you'll absolutely learn about engines in the game, although a solid knowledge of basics is a better start. internal combustion, displacement, and timing is maybe a good 20 minute refresher before the engines part.

you'll also figure out why things like a v12 Honda civic don't pan out ;) (looking at you dodge hellcat.)

With the rise of EVs, the knowledge will become obsolete very quickly, though.

"very quickly" is wishful thinking, nothing else. which is fine, by the way, just not real.

As long as those engines are still working (and laws aren't put in place to ban them), then there will be a demand for that knowledge.

I think all EV companies should be all over this simulator as some of the ‘fake noises’ they generate over the audio system doesn’t sound nearly as good as this.

I’ll settle for a 6.8 liter v10 Civic Si. I’m not picky

I haven’t played it but probably no and definitely yes
