I had an opportunity to finally try this simulator. I would say a few things. Does it feel like driving a real f1 car, of course not and it’s not even close. Is it worth $20 plus bucks? Absolutely. The only thing is that it feels so tight inside so you can not really use the yoke steering wheel. Finally, choose a manual mode

A great experience for thrill seekers. The Italia racing simulator is so realistic and intense. 20 minutes flew by. My husband absolutely loved it—worth every peso for racing fans! 🏎️ …
