    Dear friends of simulators,

    at my last Italy vacation trip, I also went to Maranello. (Guess why?)

    After visiting the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, I’d had to take a test ride with the F1 simulator too.
    To be honest, if you never drove one before, it might be impressive. But it isn’t really that great.
    It does have some movement and a belt tensioner to simulate braking force which is nice, but not spectacular at all.
    But the worst thing is the missing force feedback, which made me struggle to find a precise line around the corners.
    My own 4 DOF simulator with VR and Fanatec DD controls feels way more realistic, compared to this one. But said, being in Maranello, it’s a must to try them out.

    Here a

    Cheers

    Michael
