Mark Webber takes Sylvi Bódi for a ride

There is only a week left until the Red Bull MOBILE audience meeting, where Red Bull Racing driver Mark Webber will play against the pre-registered subscriber and the 12 best-time subscribers in the qualifiers at 3 noon in the Arena Plaza Cinema City cinema.

One of Hungary's best-known models, who is also a lover of speed and extreme sports, Bódi Sylvi, is currently competing against the Australian driver, who is currently 2nd in the world championship points race.

Bódi Sylvi will also try to use the lessons learned from the driving training held by David Coulthard at the Austrian Red Bull Ring in May in the online field, which has been less known to him so far. For the first time behind the wheel of the simulator, the model, who is already very much preparing for the July 5 competition, is sitting on the track of the computer game Grand Turismo 23 in Monza.

How are you preparing for the competition against Mark Webber?

I look forward to meeting Webber because I consider him a talented racer. Although I haven’t played on such a simulator yet, but a few days earlier, on Monday, I can already start “preparing”, I hope to use as much of my live car experience as possible. But I might as well tie a scarf to Mark’s eyes, maybe the competition will be more balanced (laughs).

In May, you received practical advice from David Coulthard on the Red Bull Ring. How did you get out with David? How did you feel?

David's death is a good head guy! He was very kind all the way and gave professional advice, we found a common voice as we are both rams. He gave me a lot of good advice, which I could try right away with the Formula Renault, so driving a simulator is probably very different. The formula car was also different from a street car, every system has to get used to, the simulator will also be different. Being able to practice a bit on the machine beforehand will definitely help, and I’ll see what David’s advice can take advantage of in a virtual environment.
Interesting, but I also benefited from the tips I received from David in my daily, street driving! I try to take the best curves without drifting and so as not to waste time (laughs), I have developed a lot in this area! 🙂

How much do you follow the world of Formula 1? Do you have a favorite pilot?

I missed a period, but I met Coulthard on the ring, and I’ve been following the races ever since. In addition, it has become much more personal for me to sport this, with David Coulthard broadcasting the races as a BBC reporter. Because of our personal connection, I like Coulthard as an ex-driver, but of course I’m pushing Mark, I really liked his performance at the race in Monaco.

Would you try yourself in real Formula 1?

Even good that! When the light turns green, everyone goes crazy and positions themselves for the best spot, the huge adrenaline bomb! The moment that can be fantastic not only from the outside but also from the inside. For the rest of the race, of course, it would be good if I went on the track alone, like in a rally… I don’t like being pushed and pounded!

Do you usually play online games / racing computer games?

In general, I am absolutely not attracted to virtual things, I live much more for real experiences. So I’m still a virgin in this area (laughs). However, I wonder how different the feeling of speed will be on the online track and simulator!
