Fancy a crack in a professional F1 simulator

Today the Top Gear website brings us closer to I-Way World. The what? Well, you know how some people build rigs for their gaming console with race seats and the like. Imagine you had no budget and could build what you wanted. Anything at all.

That’s pretty much what they’ve done at I-Way in Lyon, France. There’s WRC simulators for rally action, LMP set-ups if you want to win Le Mans and, of course, a small grid of F1 simulators as well.

It’ll cost you €90 for a 10 minute spin in the F1 rig, that’s three minutes of quali and a seven minute race. Reckon you can handle it? How’s this for an intro:

“The steering wheel is weighted up to 70kg through corners and the brake pedal up to 200kg at racing speed. You will also experience around 2G through corners so you need to be physically fit to control the car.

“And if you have eaten you may want to wait – about four per cent of people vomit. And don’t look at the side screens. They project 300 frames per second for an impression of speed and make some people unwell. This can also make you want to… use the bathroom.”
