In AWS DeepRacer: How to master physical racing?, I wrote in detail about some aspects relevant to racing AWS DeepRacer in the physical world. The previous post was left open-ended—with one last Championship Final left, it was too early to share all my secrets. Now that AWS re:Invent is over, it’s time to share my strategy, how I prepared, and how it went in the end.

In this blog post, I will look at what makes physical AWS DeepRacer racing—a real car on a real track—different to racing in the virtual world—a model in a simulated 3D environment. I will cover the basics, the differences in virtual compared to physical, and what steps I have taken to get a deeper understanding of the challenge.
