The TL1 simulator has been designed, developed and manufactured in the UK in cooperation with the Ariel Motor Company, to provide the ultimate simulation experience available. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.

Within the simulator the seating can be re-arranged to provide driving and flying positions for Touring and GT car positions to Eurofighter. On top of that, the simulator is equipped with state-of-the-art simulation software which uses laser-scanned racing circuits, accurate to within 2mm.Motion Simulation explains:

“The unique seating system* can be rotated to go through various rotating positions, absorbing you in the simulation experience. The cockpit includes a Motion Transducer option that operates in a far more accurate and efficient way than bass shakers (speakers). The actuators push the floor up and down from all corners, directly transmitting road and engine reverberation to the driver.”
