It was “pretty fun” according to Emma Raducanu, to visit the Porsche Development Center. Raducanu was named the global ambassador for German luxury automaker Porsche last year. Raducanu took part in this week’s Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart. Raducanu visited the Porsche Development Center in Weissach after suffering a loss in the opening round in Stuttgart.
Raducanu had an opportunity to use the simulator while she was at Weissach. Raducanu was receiving advice from Pascal Wehrlein, the current leader among Formula E drivers, while he was inside the simulator.
“For me, to get in the simulator was such an experience. I honestly couldn’t believe how different it was to being in a regular car on the track. I do have a lot of respect of drivers to get in the simulator and take it naturally and easily. Pascal gave me a great inside into what it’s like being in Formula E. As a race driver, he probably travels the same as we tennis players do. It was just nice speaking to someone who kind of relates to a similar situation as me,” Emma commented.
