If racing games on the PC or the console are too boring for you, a Formula 1 simulator offered on eBay could be just the thing.

Macclesfield (UK) – To make it into Formula 1 as a driver, you not only need exceptional talent – ​​but also a lot of money. Because motorsport is extremely expensive - not only in the premier class. But because many racing enthusiasts still want to sit in the cockpit of such a missile, they really only have one choice: computer games. But a lot of money can also be spent here: While a PC, Playstation or Xbox game alone is still reasonably affordable, you have to dig much deeper into your pocket for a really good gaming steering wheel. If you then also get a correspondingly professional chair, you can add up to a proud sum. A complete solution might be worthwhile. Like this one for example:An F1 simulator from Ferrari is currently available on eBay, as reported by 24auto.de.

Ferrari Formula 1 Simulator on eBay - Odometer reading: 1 mile

Funnily enough, the simulator is offered there according to the same scheme as the other used luxury cars - there is probably no other technical solution.

That means: You can find the simulator under the category "used Ferrari", the mileage is given as 1 mile (about 1.6 kilometers).

A test drive can also be booked.

The device, which is said to have been manufactured in 2021, is offered as used.

There are similar simulators in the Ferrari Museum in Modena, for example – a ride costs around 25 euros.

Ferrari Formula 1 simulator on eBay - that's how much it costs to enjoy the game

If you want to buy the Ferrari Formula 1 simulator, you should have some space in the living room - and contact the bank advisor. Because with a price of 40,000 British pounds (almost 48,000 euros), the gaming fun is not exactly cheap. For a Ferrari, on the other hand, this is of course a real bargain price. Because even a used vehicle is currently hard to come by - unless you're looking for a slightly less popular model in questionable condition. But a new Golf GTI Clubsport would be easy for the money. And that would really offer real driving pleasure. However, the Ferrari simulator is still significantly cheaper than its Aston Martin counterpart.

In the long run, however, the simulator is probably a good investment compared to a real Ferrari: it doesn't need any fuel - and there's no need to worry about horrendous repair costs either.
