Formula One Showcar & Motion Simulator

Something to spend this weeks pocket money chaps.

We´ve already seen quite a lot of motion simulators that try to bring the forces of real racing to virtual motorsports. F1Showcar goes a step further, using a full blown Formula One showcar for their motion simulator.
The show car looks just like a real Formula One car, including an authentic livery. Equipped with a pc system, screen, a Logitech racing wheel and put on the motion platform, the car is turned into a full motion simulator that is able to accelerate up to 1.62g.
Of course, all this high tech glory does not come cheap as motion simulators from F1Showcar start at $30.000, coming with your choice of livery and wings. Below are photos and a video of the set in action, more info can be found on the F1Showcar website
