The simulators cost AUD$30,000 to build, and while that may seem chump change for Ferrari, given its multi-million dollar racing budget, it’s a huge boost for the small Australian company, says founder Hes Ghah.

Hes Ghah says he is keen to sell the simulators around the world, and already a number of teams have shown keen interest in the product.
Hes says Ferrari's recognition of the quality of the NEXT LEVEL RACING simulators is a great boost for his small company in terms of global recognition, and providing building blocks for future products.

The popularity of SIM racing is not restricted to racing teams because they are also important as entertainment activities and even for regular drivers to hone their skills.
