Dreamworld has launched Australia’s first full-motion virtual V8 Supercars experience, complete with a computer generated track of Mount Panorama and four V8 simulator cars.
Fitted with collision detection and real dynamic mechanical vibration, V8 Supercars RedLine straps challengers into a 360 degree racing world, with motion cues to support the streaming action on extra wide screens in front of the cars.
Drivers get a choice of three tracks. However, for the Australian audience, the ultimate target is Bathurst’s Mount Panorama, regarded as one of the greatest motor sport circuits in the world.
Such is the attention to detail, drivers are said to be able to ‘feel’ the asphalt push against the steering wheel as you work through turns and chicanes.
Drivers also compete against 21 computer generated drone cars that scream in and out of peripheral vision on the three display screens.
