F1 Simulator for the Family, Friends and Business
Say you've got a wife and two kids. Or maybe you have two too many friends and customers as well. But you want to drive a Formula 1 car... You could buy an F1 Simulator. Our full size F1 Simulator car certainly qualifies and looks. Our stylists have seen to that. And it performs and handles like a real Formula 1 car in the virtual races. Our engineers have seen to that. But nothing we can say can take place of a drive. So why don't you order it online and own one. We've an F1 Simulator car waiting for the all of you right now.

- There is still only one F1 Simulator car that looks, feels, and performs like a real Formula 1 car that is from P1Simulator. It is the one that manages to be both timeless and ahead of its time. We tried to build the perfect car for many years. From the first, we knew it was impossible. But we kept trying in spite of that. Or maybe, because of that. And we've come close.
- We challenge you to drive our F1 Simulator and put it out of your mind. The car responds so instantly and accurately that it almost seems a part of the driver. It's pure driving excitement.
- The execution was the design, making, and assembly of thousand parts. And every part had to make a contribution to the idea or be redesigned. This left no room for the normal tricks of car making. It meant forming much of the car on computer, robots then on workbenches, and finishing most of it by hand. It meant ignoring the accountant's cry for cost reductions ("You can make this part cheaper and it'll be almost as good...").
- We run every F1 simulation car for days on extensive tests. The result is a Formula 1 simulator with incredible balance and performance. The car that was used by several Formula 1 drivers and teams and was on exhibition on motorsport shows also in the Formula 1 paddocks. One idea. And execution.
- At P1Simulator, we design our cars for the long term. We don't believe in the concept of planned obsolescence. Each model is expected to have production run of at least 10 years. In addition, every F1 simulation car we build is further expected to bring its owner many years of continued enjoyment. Our goal of the long life F1 Simulator car has shown, however, that component such as the bodywork, motion platform can have a far longer lifespan. Of course we give you warranty on each component.

How to drive. We have always been totally astonished at the attitude of about 99% of real racing drivers who simply get in the F1 Simulator car and drive as fast as possible, as if that is the best and most thought-out plan. They have obviously got to push their Formula 1 simulator equipment to the limit but once they are driving the car quickly, and producing competitive lap times, there is a whole range of extra opportunities that few drivers know exist. Simply put, there is a type of driver who realizes that there are tiny opportunities with the F1 Simulator, minute nuances to what he is doing that can contribute to his overall quest for success. We don’t doubt for a minute that every single driver is trying their hardest, and that they are highly proficient in what they do. It is just that some of them enjoy a greater range of tools at their disposal. Of the Grand Prix drivers who have competed in any year over the history of the sport, only a handful reaches this special plateau.
Firstly, that the objective of race driving is to transfer as much power as is possible from the engine, down into the track via the driven wheels while traversing a closed circuit. You need to ‘learn how to take risks and when to take them’. This is a fabulous line of thinking and you can master it with the F1 Simulation. You don’t have to risking your life, but moreover, in an F1 Simulator race there will be pivotal points where you either have to get past someone, or you need to put in some fast laps to distance yourself from the guy behind, for example. As such, you are going to be risking your position in the race as you might tangle with them and put yourself out of the race, or spin out from pushing too hard and drop down the order. A good driver is a master proponent of these two principles. He would utilise his engines’ power to the absolute maximum and you can learn it on a Formula 1 simulator. His relationship with his engine meant that he was driving the engine through the car, not driving the car which happened to have an engine in it.
A quick word on racing lines with F1 Simulator. The objective is to straighten out the corner as much as possible so that you can keep travelling fast. You want to traverse the corner while taking off as little speed as you can. You will do this yourself quite naturally when you drive on the road. You see a roundabout ahead, no-one is following so you straight-line the left right left sequence. In a simple right hand bend, you will also naturally start on the left of your side of the road, by the kerb, sweep across so that you run your right hand tyres right up to or even on the white lines in the middle of the road, and then wander back to the left hand kerb at the completion of the corner. The corner is therefore divided up into three elements. Turn-in: where you change direction from driving down a straight and begin the corner. The apex: the mid-point of the corner where you clip the inside of the bend. The exit: where you run up close to or onto the exit kerbing. Racing drivers take this to the limit and even ride the kerbs on the exit of the corner. Therefore, in a racing situation, a single-file situation emerges naturally and it is very difficult to be outside of this funnel as you go into a corner and expect to be in one piece at the end of it. You have to follow the racing line. It could look like a wide track but at high speed there is just that narrow corridor that they all have to go down.
In theory F1 simulation, the less lock that you apply to the steering wheel during a corner exercise, the more grip you will enjoy. Principally because you are inducing less slip angle onto the front tyres - that is, using less of the available functionality that the tyre offers, during varying degrees of abuse. If you turn the wheel hard over, the tyre will offer a certain amount of grip while the tyre is slipping against the direction of travel before it reaches the limit of its slip angle and the grip falls away into understeer. By turning the wheel less during a corner you are borrowing less of the built-in slip angle characteristic of the tyre. A tyre that continues to perform well while it is clearly being worked at a high angle with a lot of lock applied to the steering, can be classed as having a high slip angle. A tyre that will only allow a small amount of steering lock before the grip falls away is deemed to be a tyre with a low slip angle. Furthermore, the less lock that you use, the flatter the front tyres sit on the track. This is because when you turn the front wheels you are using the front castor which is built into the front suspension in order to self-centre the steering on the straight as well as offer some grip benefits. If there was no castor available then the car would wiggle and shake in a straight line. To see castor on a road car, look at a BMW or Mercedes Benz when it is parked and has full lock on. You will see that the inside wheel cants outwards at the top and the outside wheel cants inwards at the top, like the wheels have flopped over to one side. Therefore, as you apply lock, so you are moving the tyre surface away from being flat on the track as they are less perpendicular, which means less grip. On a race car this amount is just millimetres but these minimal amounts are exaggerated at very high speed, when you are chasing fractions of seconds. Two of the biggest advantages are the consistency of tyre wear and the ability to sense the slightest change to the suspension set up. These are valuable assets if the driver wants to be consistently competitive. It is also a great wet weather tool as you are feeding less variables into the tyres’ relationship with the track and therefore will gently nudge up to the limit of the tyres adhesion rather than jump upon it. It goes without saying that the above mentioned drivers are all excellent wet weather experts.

Rainmaster. By running around the corner with Formula 1 simulator in a higher gear, a great driver is causing his rear differential to transfer drive to the rear wheels more equally than if he were in a lower gear. This would take effect whether he is braking, coasting or accelerating as, if you are in gear with the clutch out, then you have a relationship between the engine and the track. The lower gear introduces more of the limited slip on offer within the differential. The differential is the gearing assembly that converts the longitudinal rotational input from the engine into lateral rotation fed out to the rear wheels on each side. It’s in that round lumpy bit in the middle of a truck’s back axle! On race cars there is usually only a small amount of slip available, called a ‘limited slip differential’.
