Adam Davies has revealed how getting to grips with the Formula One game on Playstation has put the Wales players on track for Euro 2020 success.
Robert Page's squad checked into their Baku base on Monday night and the hotel overlooks part of the city centre track used for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix the previous day.
But it is the video version of the race that several Wales players have been getting themselves acquainted with, as the usual major tournament distractions of pool, darts and table tennis take a back seat for now.
But the 28-year-old suffered knee ligament damage in November and did not return for Stoke until mid-March.
"It was a kick in the teeth to get that injury," Davies said. "But I came back before the end of the season and that put me in good stead for this tournament.
"There's a real buzz around the place and an excitement to get started now.
"The competition between the three of us has been good, and whoever is called upon will get the support to do the job from the other two."
