I saw this from Pit Fit Training, where lots of the Indy drivers workout. I thought it was pretty amazing how fast Josef Newgarden is able to react.

I also thought it was pretty neat to see how good his ocular vision is. He looks straight ahead most of the time and sees everything in his periphery.

They used to have a similar type of trainer in the F1 Gamezone at COTA... Scored some free tix to the '14 USGP by beating some guy from Oklahoma at it so that's nice.

Please explain "ocular vision".

This was referenced in a presentation I gave that was written by someone else. I tried to research "ocular vision" but could not find a sufficient explanation.

Most said this: "Of, or relating to the eye, or the sense of sight " which seems redundant. If "ocular" refers to vision, or relates to the eye, isn't "ocular vision" the same as saying "vision of the eye" (or something to that effect)?

Of course the best reaction time this year was by Bottas who actually beat the lights going out. LOL.

They had one in the Jag pavilion at Goodwood. It was a lot harder because the lights were spread much wider forcing you to squat to reach the low ones and extend for the upper ones.
