Sim Into Reality

Hey there guys. I know it has been a while since i have posted on ShadowracingRSA, but as you all might know and have possibly seen on Facebook, we have added triple screens to our Motion Simulators at the shop. The experience is absolutely EPIC!!! Ryan has popped in to try them and was blown away. So for the guys up here in joburg, you have to come through and give them a try.

Also we have this wild competition that we have started. All the comp details are posted below, followed by a link to the site where you will be able to see the Top 10 times sheet.

Competition Information:

Simtec Racing, in association with SavSpeed Racing, will be running a competition. Sav Gualtieri, owner of SavSpeed will be building a 300BHP race spec, BMW race car for this awesome competition. Updates regarding the building stages of this race car will be published on our website and Facebook page, so that everyone can see the car being built.  The top 10 fastest guys will go to the BMW Car Club track day, at Kyalami, to race this purpose built race car around this legendary local race track. This will give the winners a real racing car experience where they will be able to compare Virtual Reality Simulation experience to the real race car and track experience.



Structure/How to qualify:

Anyone from ages 16+ can compete in a time trial race in our Full Motion Racing Simulators. The aim of this competition is to set the fastest possible time around our virtual Kyalami race track. The top 10 fastest lap times will be announced  as the competition winners in store, as well as on our social media platforms and website. They will then go to the track, on the BMW Car Club race day, and have a true race car driver experience. Each of the top 10 drivers will race in the race car, along with Sav for guidance and  professional racing advice.

As part of this competition, we are also offering the same experience to the top 10 young adults (ages 10-15 years). They will compete against other young adult times to qualify for the top 10 in their category. The top 10 drivers, with the fastest set lap times, will then go to the track with his/her parents and will be set up in the passenger seat of the race car and taken around the track. The car will be driven by Sav Gualtieri who is a professional South African race car driver. This section of the competition is an awesome father-son experience, where they both stand a chance to share a track day experience together. Dad will drive the car and son will be taken for a spin by a professional driver, getting the adrenalin pumping and making awesome memories.
