Ritomo Miyata Review
" It is by far the best simulator in terms of accuracy and realism. "
I needed a simulator that could take me through key Formula categories and give me accurate and realistic feelings for the different cars and tracks. The Formula Pro is consistent, accurate and highly customisable, both aesthetically and functionality. It is by far the best simulator in terms of accuracy and realism.
