\"Cupra<\/a><\/p>\n

\n Urban Rebel concept previews Raval hatch, due in 2025 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New virtual reality concept merges simulated racing with real-world motorsport<\/p>\n

\n

Cupra\u2019s new Exponential Experience \u2013 which allows people to drive a real electric racing car around a digital course seen using virtual reality (VR) goggles \u2013 has \u201chuge potential to do things that nobody has done before\u201d in both real and virtual motorsport, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to former World Touring Car Championship racer Jordi Gene\u0301, who helped Cupra<\/a>\u2019s motorsport<\/a> division develop\u00a0the \u2018phygital\u2019 \u2013 merging physical and digital \u2013 system.<\/p>\n

The Exponential Experience is built around the 430bhp Urban Rebel<\/a> concept, which previews the forthcoming 2025 entry-level Raval hatchback<\/a> but is in effect a purpose-built electric racing car.<\/p>\n

While it can be driven normally, the car is also fitted with a VR headset, which then projects a digital reconstruction of a Barcelona street circuit into the driver\u2019s vision.<\/p>\n

It uses what Cupra calls a \u2018reality loop\u2019 system, so drivers can run over boost tokens on the digital track to give the car a real-world power boost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Geofencing is used to ensure the car remains safe when the driver is unable to see the real world, and a co-driver is also able to stop the car.<\/p>\n

Cupra has developed the concept in response to the rising popularity of gaming culture, with the idea that it serves as a potential way to merge real and digital motorsport in future.<\/p>\n

Gene\u0301 said a key development focus was on ensuring the virtual world was synchronised with the real-world sensations the driver experiences.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cNormally when you use a simulator to test or learn a circuit, you know you\u2019re in a simulator because your body isn\u2019t moving properly. But with this, when you push, the car will slide for real, and the sensations are real. So you\u00a0can learn a track with the real experiences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has put a proper\u00a0simulator inside a racing car before. So the potential of it is as big as you can imagine. We could have one car physically racing on a circuit in Barcelona, taking on someone else who is racing on the same circuit somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gene\u0301 added that the tech is still under development and the team is working on a system that will produce real-world physical feedback when there is virtual contact between cars on the digital track.<\/p>\n

Another key focus has been on minimising the lag time between translating physical inputs to the car into a response in the digital footage \u2013 the maximum delay has now been reduced to three-hundredths of a second.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny more delay than that and the lag means you\u2019d feel sick,\u201d said Gene\u0301.<\/p>\n

Cupra has yet to determine long-term plans for the system, but Gene\u0301 believes it could be used for racing drivers to really learn circuits, to stage races between people in different locations and to ease the transition of virtual racers into real motorsport.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWhen we saw the potential of it is when\u00a0we started saying \u2018okay, we need people with a lot of imagination\u2019. If we just want to go racing on a normal circuit with this, there\u2019s no point.<\/p>\n

But with the goggles, you can have any circuit anywhere in the world \u2013 and you can add extra toys and benefits you can\u2019t get in the real world. This is a great way to bring two worlds of motorsport together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

New reality or virtual insanity?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The most unsettling moment of the Cupra Exponential Experience comes when you first step into the Urban Rebel.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a familiar racing car environment, with a minimal dash, a purposeful roll-cage and tight bucket seats into which a helpful Cupra mechanic implants you by yanking on a six-point harness seatbelt. But then the mechanic straps a set of VR goggles to your head. At first, the goggles allow you to see the real world \u2013 in<\/p>\n

this case, an empty long-stay car park at Girona airport. But imposed on it is a virtual gate that marks the start of the course. Trying to drive towards it while adjusting to the Urban Rebel\u2019s stiff competition throttle and brakes is truly disconcerting.<\/p>\n

Then you reach the gate, and suddenly reality fades from view and all you can see is Cupra\u2019s virtual world: in this case, a tight street circuit laid out on a stylised virtual version of Barcelona. It\u2019s like something straight out of Mario Kart Tour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Weirdly, it\u2019s so consuming that even though I\u2019m driving a real car, I quickly forget that I can\u2019t see where I\u2019m driving it in the real world.<\/p>\n

On my two warm-up laps, Jordi Gene\u0301, strapped into the passenger seat to act as both guide and emergency brake, suggests I slow down to take in some of the views, such as a virtual Sagrada Familia. It\u2019s unclear whether he\u2019s just keen to show off the hard work of Cupra\u2019s development team or if this is a conceit to keep my speeds down.<\/p>\n

When my timed runs start, more Mario Kart elements kick in: power-ups on the course give me extra boost, there\u2019s a racing line to follow on the road and the course changes substantially halfway through my run.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unsettling at all: the real-world feel you get from the Urban Rebel is a real boost when lapping this virtual circuit.<\/p>\n

Was I fast? Unknown. It certainly felt it when the VR goggles were down, although the tight nature of the track meant I never got to exploit much of the Urban Rebel\u2019s power. Certainly, when watching other people tackle the experience later, it\u2019s notable just how slowly they were guiding the Urban Rebel around the car park.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the Exponential Experience is a truly unusual one \u2013 albeit one that is, in all honesty, far less gimmicky than you\u2019d expect. Merging the real and virtual motorsport worlds might sound like a bad idea, but it actually has real potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
