Immerse in the thrills and spills of Formula One racing behind the wheel and in the comfort of your own home.

UK-based Axsim is the genius behind the world’s first full-motion Formula One Simulator. Designed to closely emulate the racing experience, the high-tech set-up offers users a diverse range of racing cars to choose from. Build your own car specificat­ions from scratch and race your machine on any circuit around the world.

The racing simulator leverages the same technology developed to train fighter jet pilots. The technology offers a more immersive experience as it tricks the brain into feeling G-force sensations. F1 and Nascar have adopted this same system to recreate the thrill of a race car whizzing at more than 320km/hr.

The machine draws design cues from a real F1 car – sans engine, wheels and a few mechanical parts. But in the cockpit, you’ll discover all the frills of car racing: an advanced-grade dashboard configurat­ion, pedals and a steering wheel.

No expense has been spared here. It’s worth noting that every singleseat chassis in the Axsim simulator is constructe­d from an F1 mould, so drivers would be sitting in the same seating positions as real F1 drivers. A full-motion simulator equipped with G-force settings is yours for £99,900.

freely to imitate yaw movement and create the feeling of oversteer.
