Ferrari Driving Academy Trailer - Click above to watch the video after the jump
There are a handful of F1 driving simulators out in the market today, ranging from Codemasters F1 2010 to the $191,000 Cruden Hexatech simulator. Ferrari has decided to try their hand at their own version called Ferrari Virtual Academy 2010.
The simulation racing game will benefit from much of Ferraris own expertise in Formula One. The teams engineers were consulted to provide realistic driving dynamics and each of the tracks were digitally recreated with Laser Scan and Motion Capture. Ferraris current competitor, the F10, is the vehicle of choice, and Fiorano, Mugello and the Nürburgring are the current tracks available. Theres no word as to whether historic cars or additional tracks will be offered.
The game will be available for download on September 9 with a price tag of 15 Euros (around $19 USD), although to tantalize potential users, Ferrari has said that there will be "exclusive Scuderia gadgets and further surprises" for the drivers. We dont know what that means, but we cant imagine a Ferrari gadget that we wouldnt like. Need to see more? You can watch the games official trailer after the jump.
