There are racing simulators <http://www.gizmag.com/tag/simulator/> – and
then there’s I-WAY World. Designed by French architect Cyrille Druart and
taking four years to complete, the striking concrete and glass complex in
Lyon offers a restaurant, alcohol-free bar, conference and fitness rooms and
a store selling merchandise from the likes of Porsche and Tag Heuer. But of
course the main attraction amongst the aesthetics are the 18 fully equipped
racing simulators, which on paper at least, certainly look to deliver the
goods.

The 18 simulators are split into three types. Six Citroen S2 S1600 vehicles
make up the Rally / Tourism section, while a further six Pescarolo cars
offer the Endurance experience. Last but not least, six full scale F1
vehicles featuring simulated 850bhp and 19,000 rpm engines make up the Formula
1 <http://www.gizmag.com/tag/f1/> section. The simulators offer two types of
experiences – static, or dynamic, with the latter making full use of each
simulator's 6-axis range of motion.

Each platform is positioned on power jacks with six degrees of freedom,
rising to up to two meters during races, and is designed to reproduce racing
sensations like skidding, tilting and braking force. After a briefing,
“pilots” make their way through a few qualifying laps before taking on an
actual race.

Aiming to immerse the driver as fully as possible in the experience, the
simulations feature up to four screens to cover the driver’s central and
lateral field of vision. Speaker-wise, all have a subwoofer behind the
driver’s seat, and surround sound with up to four rear and front speakers.
Simulators of this type are normally reserved for the likes of military and
airline training, with an electronic interface recreating consequences based
on factors including acceleration, concentration, reaction time and
centrifugal force.

While I-WAY World <http://uk.i-way-world.com/> is obviously an experience
not for the faint hearted – neither is the price. Enthusiasts have the
option of paying 60 euro (approx. US$73) for a single race or 630 euro
(approx. US$770) for ten.
