F1 at sea with MSC

 Formula one fans will be pleased to hear the Italian cruise line MSC has F1 simulators on its ships.  The Splendida and Fantasia both have these on board..  The simulator uses an F1 replica car with state of the art simulation and controls.  MSC have been sponsoring F1 since 2008.

The simulator uses software called Rfactor which is available for download at this site http://www.rfactor.net/.  The software is constantly kept up to date with the latest developments with teams, cars and tracks.  If you are considering going on an MSC cruise and trying this simulator my advise is to get your practice in on Rfactor as it can be quite tricky to master.  Once you are on board you can then show off your skills !

Here is the simulator in action.

This video compares Rfactor to a real lap by Michael Schumacher at the Monza circuit and shows how realistic it is.
