In the world of Formula-1 world championships are won by the slender margin of milliseconds that turn into big margins after every passing lap. The level of engineering in the pinnacle of Motorsports is unparalleled, and the drivers competing for the top podium step do every little thing that gives them a strategic advantage over their rivals.

Personal training is a part of the drill to stay in top shape, but the real deal is to polish the skills and gain telemetry data in the racing sims that very closely mimic the nuances of each track on the season calendar. With the hybrid era, the need for simulating the real track conditions has become even more important, given the metamorphosis this sport is undergoing.  A good simulator plays a vital role in giving the F1 and F2 drivers a fair idea of areas to improve, or develop strategic maneuvers that can be finally implemented on the track.

Designer: Cool Performance

With over two decades of motorsport experience and trusted by over 250 professional racers, Cool Performance now brings its most advanced F1 sim racer for professionals and motorsports fans. Current F1 drivers who train their driving skills on the Formula Pro Simulator include Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Sebastian Vettel and Alex Albon. Founder Oliver Norris has designed the simulator from the ground up with tons of experience in his own Motorsports journey and his brother Lando’s last couple of successful F1 seasons.

The professional-grade simulator has a precision-designed cockpit and race seat to recreate the realism of FPV in the single-seater racer. To simulate the nuances of a Formula -1 car riding the tarmac, the simulator has a high-torque force feedback steering and a Leo Bodnar SimSteering 2 base. This lets the sim racer feel every little bump of the chicane or the minute grip changes when the car is steered off the racing line. Braking in Formula 1 is way more challenging than your average SUV. That is mimicked by the CP-S hydraulic pedals with an AP Racing master cylinder support, which can simulate 200 kgs of braking force. For that, you’ll require immense strength in your core and lower body.

Every little detail of this F1 simulator is narrowed down to the last millimeter, much like the Formula 1 cars. Right from the highly technical CP-S Formula steering wheel that has virtually everything right at arms distance for the driver, to the CP-S custom hydraulic pedals, nothing gets better than the Cool Performance’s option. Clearly, if you want to feel the realism and the tiny details of Formula 1, this is it. Each one of the Formula Pro F1 simulators is custom-manufactured and tested by Oliver and Adrian Quaife-Hobbs in Kent, United Kingdom.

Eager buyers can opt for a single curved screen setup or a multiscreen array for better realism. If you are a purist, then the UK-based manufacturer can create a bespoke version of the sim to fit your specific needs. The Formula Pro simulator price starts from $40,950 and can go higher depending on the add-ons demanded or the bespoke modifications required.
