F1 driver simulator

Most F1 teams operate in England and Italy. You can live in London and commute to the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking. You can also visit the Red Bull campus in Milton Keynes or the Mercedes base in Brackley.

In Italy, you can live in Milan or Bologna near the Scuderia Ferrari headquarters in Maranello. In the United States, Charlotte sits next to Kannapolis, home of the Haas F1 Team. For a street-circuit city, pick Nice to live near Monte Carlo, where many drivers reside.

You start your morning in Bologna with a daily to-do list. You add items like "complete neck and cardio workouts" and "review sensor graphs with my engineer". You use place search to find a real gym in the city and walk there.

In the afternoon, your teammate texts you in a group thread about a tense engineering debrief. You reply in your own words to argue about telemetry data and tire graining. At night, the day ends with a recap of your moments and changes to your relationships.

Callum, 19, starts in London as a rookie reserve driver looking for a full-time seat. He edits his cast to include a strict team boss and a rival driver. He sets a life goal to earn a main race contract before his twenties end.

On Friday, his boss texts him to come to the factory simulator in Woking to test wing angles. Callum plans an outing there with his race engineer to discuss undercut pit strategies. When Callum shares a setup idea, the engineer writes it in his journal and remembers it.

Real drivers split their time between four-day race weekends and factory days in driver-in-the-loop simulator rooms. They wear fireproof Nomex suits and HANS devices while enduring high G-forces and cockpit heat. On Thursdays at the circuit, they walk the track with engineers and speak in media pens.

Drivers start in childhood karting through groups like Motorsport UK, SKUSA in the US, or the ACI in Italy. They climb through Formula 4, Formula 3, and Formula 2 to earn their 40 FIA Super Licence points. The job brings high speed and prestige, alongside strict diets, constant travel, and low job security.

Write your name, age, role, and city in one text box to start. Try "Luka, 18, a Ferrari Driver Academy junior living in Bologna, Italy, who wants an F1 seat". The game reads the city and puts you on the real streets.

You can also play an older veteran or a reserve driver in a feud. Write "Maya, 24, a reserve F1 driver in London, UK, who argues with her teammate over telemetry". Set your daily tasks to match factory simulator work, sponsor talks, and gym training.
