Driving simulators are also extremely important for driver preparation in Formula 1.
In a period of limited testing, simulators have become crucial for driver preparation. Instead of driving thousands of kilometres on the track, drivers can simulate different scenarios and learn to drive on different tracks.
Simulator testing with reserve and main drivers plays an important role in the development of race cars and the preparation of main drivers for racing.
Drivers also need to maintain good physical condition. Simulators can be very physically demanding, so it is important that they include this in their off-season training.
The British company Vesaro has developed a highly advanced driving simulator that costs €56,545. This simulator is compatible with 65 games and allows you to drive on all the world’s circuits in a variety of race cars. The seat and steering wheel are specially adapted for this machine, giving an extremely realistic driving experience like in Formula 1.
For enthusiasts closer to home, Sim 83 – Driving Simulators offers a similar experience where you can, among other things, put yourself in the shoes of a professional Formula 1 driver.
If you’re a fan of speed and adrenaline, this is definitely an exciting experience! 🏎️💨
