Ferrari has a new simulator
https://www.crash.net/f1/news/982810/1/ferrari-s-new-f1-simulator-gets-green-light-ahead-2022
Obviously, no pictures. Jeez, I would love to see what a simulator that takes two years to build, budgeted with Ferrari F1 money looks like. Similar to the Boeing 787 simulator? Maybe even better?

What?

Will it have the same failure rate as the cars? Joking.

Back in the olden days the company I worked for flew mapping projects for all the approaches for Tinker AFB. Early days of digitizing the images and all compiled into what a pilot would see when coming in to land. The Air Force had some wiz-bang new fancy simulator they were working on. It would have been neat to see it, but we just supplied the imagery.
Now with computer modeling no doubt it is more realistic and sharper. No way can they simulate the 5.8 Gee of braking or 5 Gee of cornering forces, but I bet it is a fun simulator for the drivers for about 10 minutes, and then it is just another boring job.

I wonder if they programmed in poor race day decisions on strategy ?

I hope it's better than half a dozen other common PC game simulators on the market.
(Knowing Ferrari...it probably is).

Burn the fire.

So it simulates a ride on the back of a tow truck, or being on a lift getting maintenance?
