Ferrari's new simulator unveiled
Ferrari have unveiled their new simulator at their headquarters in Maranello.
The state-of-the-art piece of kit has been two years in the making, is housed over two floors and offers the driver a viewing spectrum of over 180 degrees.
At the launch, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali said:
“It’s an important day for us. The completion of this project means we will now be able to tackle with confidence some of the challenges that make up modern-day Formula One, while putting Ferrari at the cutting edge in terms of this technology.
“Furthermore, I am pleased such a complex project as this, which got underway around two years ago, has been completed on schedule thanks to the efforts of all those who worked on it.”
