Driver trainer

Is anybody really going to buy this (besides the collectors that get "one of everything" from Ferrari)?

 

Ferrari F1 Trainer Machine

We are proud to offer our clients an exclusive new package, unique in the car racing world.

The F1 Trainer is an exclusive training machine from Technogym® designed specifically to ensure Ferrari clients racing in the competitions organized by the marque and the many events open to them on the world’s circuits, experience the very best in driving pleasure.
Technical specifications

To exercise neck muscles to withstand the high g-forces generated by Ferrari’s competition cars, the driver’s helmet is attached to cables which, in turn, are connected to a system of weights. The force required can be adjusted from 2.5 to 15 kg (5.5-33 lbs). Two further cables can be attached to the rear of the helmet to reproduce braking and acceleration forces.

Similarly, the steering wheel is also attached to a system of weights which allow the force on the arms to be adjusted between 2.5 and 25 kg (5.5-55 lbs).

The numerous regulations on the Trainer, which permit it to be set it up for individual drivers, include adjustments for height and reach of the steering wheel, and the reach of the footrest. The latter enables all drivers between 155 and 190 cm in height (5’1”-6’3”) to find a correct driving position.

To facilitate setting the F1 Trainer up correctly, all the adjustments are highlighted by a yellow dot. A special ‘pre-start’ lever allows the driver to select the weight desired easily and also eliminates any slop around the steering’s straight ahead position, ensuring a smooth, constant movement lock to lock.

The F1 Trainer is supplied with the Momo Design racing bucket seat. However, when you are placing your order, you must specify the helmet size (S, M, L, XL or XXL) required, in the notes section. The helmet will be provided along with the training machine.

The F1 Trainer will be installed and its special helmet fitted to suit, in the comfort of your own home by specialist Technogym® technicians who will also instruct you in its use.

 

All for the low low price of $10413!!!
