Formula 1 fans can now indulge in a pretty special racing experience, as world champions Red Bull Racing are producing limited-edition Red Bull RB18 show car simulators, albeit at an incredible cost of $185,980.
This collaboration will allow enthusiasts to own what is likely to become a special piece of Formula 1 history, with simulators featuring striking livery and exceptional attention to detail.
According to the Formula 1 website, the Red Bull RB18 show car simulators are equipped with the latest technology to provide users with an authentic and immersive F1 driving experience. The simulators are built around a real Red Bull Racing Formula 1 chassis and adorned with the team’s official livery.
The RB18 show car simulator body features a full-size F1 car with an exact replica of Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez’s 2022 racing seats.
In addition to their sleek design, the simulators incorporate a state-of-the-art motion system, which replicates the forces experienced by F1 drivers in real races. The hydraulic motion platform moves in sync with the on-screen action, delivering a fully immersive experience.
According to the F1 website, the package includes an OCUK Bespoke PC, AOC AGON AG493UC monitors and a “Z906 Ultimate THX Surround Sound” system.
The driving experience is further enhanced by the integration of steering wheels and pedal systems that mirror the actual components used in Red Bull Racing cars. The simulators offer customizable settings, allowing users to adjust the level of realism and difficulty to suit their preferences and skills.
A unique feature of the Red Bull RB18 show car simulators is the incorporation of real-world F1 telemetry data, allowing users to compare their performance with real drivers.
