What do you rely on your local Costco for ? mammoth boxes of diapers ? Bulk packs of chicken fingers ? In the UK , when you ’re stocking up on banger and mash , you may also go home with a full - size$115,000 Formula One simulator . Although , sadly , they ’re not sold in bulk packs for handsome savings .
The simulator is powered by a sensibly well - equipped Intel Core i7 processor gaming PC with 16 gigs of tup and a fast SSD concentrated drive . And the pseudo - wraparound presentation is compose of three 23 - column inch TFT LCD displays , accompanied by speakers on either side that complement a full built - in 5.1 surround arrangement .
But when you crunch the numbers , the electronics do n’t come anywhere nigh to break the ten sumptuous scratch . So the$115,000price tag is mostly covering the ultra - naturalistic Formula One car chassis the simulator is house in . It does n’t in reality move , but it ’s made from exchangeable material as the actual racing vehicles , including composites like carbon fiber which help sell the simulated experience .
Of of course given Formula One is n’t quite as popular in the US as it is around the macrocosm , do n’t expect your local Costco to start carrying this anytime soon . But a Nascar version could be the perfect Father ’s Day gift .
