Ferrari approved F1 simulator promises ultimate speed thrills

Being a Formula 1 fan is exciting enough for most of us, as sitting in front of the television sets and waiting for the five lights to go green gives us sweaty palms at times. Of course, if you are someone like Michael Schumacher, then after all these years it might well seem a bit too dull and routine. But sitting inside a fast car and going on spin on a race track is enough to leave most of us breathless, let alone an F1 vehicle. Evotek though have decided to offer the thrill of driving a real F1 car without the speed hazards and the possibility of broken bones.

Evotek is bringing the world’s best Formula 1 simulator to the US for the very first time, as Whirly Dome in Orlando Florida will house the much talked about SYM 026. And it is not just any other racing simulator as Ferrari themselves have approved of the SYM 026 by asking the folk at Evotek to install one at their headquarters in Fiorano, Italy. Ferrari asked for the installation of the SYM 026 since they wanted to entertain some of their most important guests for who arrived for their meeting with their prime sponsors Santander.

Coming from a company that no doubt has the very best simulators for its own drivers, this is an endorsement that Evotek can be very proud of. Considering this unofficial approval of sorts from Ferrari, those in Orlando and ones planning to visit the Whirly Dome must be pretty excited to try out the SYM 026. The simulator itself comes in four different variations that Evotek has carefully crafted so that it caters to different set of users. Coming with unique software, attention to detail, motors that provide a realistic motion and a body shell that has been crafted to the regulations laid down by FIA for a 2011 F1 car, this provides a racing experience that is the closest possible one to the real thing.

The simulator’s professional version is for racing drivers and teams who want their simulator to be identical to the real cars and it provides every single feedback that you would get from a real F1 vehicle out on track. From fuel consumption to tire wear, from taking into account the weight of the driver to the aerodynamics, teams can perfect every possible detail in the simulator where motion is powered by three specially crafted motors underneath.

Then there is the “Training version” that uses the same software but has a few modifications that will help racing schools and of course the “Gaming version,” which will be most likely the one on offer at Whirly Dome. The Gaming Version does away with the technical data and the feedback as this would distract the casual gaming enthusiast and would be largely pointless. But it does provide the same racing experience and there is also an opportunity to try out various cars and tracks to make it more entertaining. The fourth is a “Static version” which will not have the motion card or the motors. Are you ready, Orlando?
