How To Have That F1 Experience In Your Living Room

Most sports fans can emulate their heroes in their chosen sport, even if it's on a basic level.

Football supporters can head to the park, cycling aficionados can take the bike out — but what about the Formula One fan?

Well, the closest thing to the real thing has been invented — the Evotek SYM 026.

Technically, it's a video game simulator, but on a scale like little else.

You sit in a lifelike, fully rendered Formula One cockpit, then stare ahead at three HD screens which have perfect versions of all the tracks from around the world — right down to the pebbles of the run-off areas should it turn out you're not Lewis Hamilton.
