I signed up for the Singtel F1 simulator quite a few days ago. Today I attended the contest. The person who completes the race on the simulator with the least timing will get F1 ticket in the Singapore race.
The simulator is resided in a makeshift tent beside comcenter. It is really amazing. Ever since I saw the 'life size' chair simulator, I've never seen such a big simulator. It is exactly the same size as the real F1 racing car with 3 big computer screens in front. The screen makes up exactly the entire view you will get when u are racing. The controls are also very cool and complicated. But luckily I only need to know how to change the gear which is by pulling up a lever at the sides of the steering wheel.
When I sat in, i was almost lying flat and the pedals were really hard. The entire race was rather real and i was bumped around when my car hit the walls. It is virtually impossible to accelerate a lot as there were a lot of killer curves. I ran the virtual would be Singapore night race route, with the singapore flyer and bridges etc in the view.
I finished at 3.02 mins and the staff consoled me that some ppl finished in 4 mins duh .... really a good experience.
The staff took my photo wif d car but i was too giddy with the driving that i forgot to ask him to help me take a photo. Hopefully i wun appear in some singtel newsletter.... ;P
Bought some paper to redesign my clock ... next time u see my living room clock erm.... it's made by me haha
