F1 Simulator Northampton

[VAG Hamez]

Does anyone know a good place to go to a f1 simulator in the Northamptonshire area?

Am I to infer from this post that there are sufficiently many F1 simulator venues in the Northamptonshire area that there is concern over which of them are decent? if so, that’s cool and I’m really interested in the answer.

A proper one as used for driver development etc. by the teams or an "F1 Simulator"? They are very different things.

Cranfield are probably the best option to start with - https://www.cranfieldsimulation.com/driver-trainin...

Multimatic in Thetford are 90% of the way through their sim build which is the same as their sim in Canada, this would be the next step up from Cranfields kit and should be available for use next year.

Used to be a place called Garage 51, not sure if it is any good. There is a place called Simply Race in Milton Keynes, the sims aren't motion ones but they have the latest and greatest in terms of kit (think they now to VR as well. Also a place out near Bedford, can't remember what its called but they have the hydraulic ram pro seats.

wow... just wow... surprised they can get away with calling that a "Formula One Simulator". Absolutely nothing like the simulators F1 teams use.
