Inside the £100,000 Axsim Formula Simulator that helps F1 drivers practise from home
For Formula 1 fans it could be the ultimate way to see what it's really like to drive at the highest level. A UK company has built a simulator which uses fighter jet technology to help create the sensation of G-Force experienced by the likes of Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and George Russell. The simulator is sure to give users a serious upper body workout, particularly so when it comes to the neck muscles, but any fans interested will have to splash out £100,000 ($135,450) to experience the full system for themselves. A stripped-down version, called the GFQ Simulator, is priced at £16,400 ($22,234). The F1-style bit of kit was made by Axsim, a sub-brand of a company called Cranfield Simulation, which is itself a subsidiary of UK-based Cranfield Aerospace Solutions.
