Steering Details

Having been involved in establishing what is known as the industry standard in high performance steering force feedback systems, our experience gives us unique access to reproducing near 1:1 simulated steering feedback with the real world.

The high precision servo motor we use to create the high steering torque has been specified to match the weight of our system for the perfect inertia balance and thus the perfect driving feel as we intended. Over 2 million points of resolution per wheel turn are fed back to the control electronics for processing resulting in an unbelievable amount of detail felt through the wheel.

The steering feedback you receive provides the same feelings as you would expect in real life for whichever car you are driving as all the car models within our software have been backed up with real life steering torque data to ensure accuracy.

Apart from the seat the steering wheel is the only item in the cockpit you are (or should be!) constantly in contact with and have in your vision at all times. It’s one of the most important items in the car and therefore one we consider to be one of the most important to be right in the simulator.

Having built a rapport over the past few years with the steering wheel manufacturer and supplier to many series including GP2 and Formula Renault, we are in a unique position to be able to supply real life XAP steering wheels for simulation use.

Using real steering wheel hardware not only provides the exact visual and physical connection whilst driving, it also offers the same level of high durability required to last a few full seasons of racing in a harsh environment. High durability grips, carbon fibre and precision made aluminium components fitted with magnetic sensor gear and clutch paddles are some of the features that make the XAP wheels very reliable for many years of service.

We also use other GT wheels from manufacturers including Sparco, Momo and AIM.

Software Details

As well as the Formula Pro simulator being able to work with all popular simulation software such as iRacing and Asseto Corsa Competizione, Cool Performance can also offer custom car models that have been developed over the course of years, to create the best car models on the market. All of the car models have accurately modelled suspension geometry, tyres, power curves, setups, dampers, gear ratios etc.

The cars have been tested so that they all react exactly the same as in real life and are adjusted in the same way; this is the best way to use a simulator as it opens up a completely new level of simulator preparation previously reserved for a select few. Our simulator is used every day by top professional teams from Formula 4 up to F2 where the accuracy is such that they will compare our simulator data against real data to coach their drivers.

Cool Performance has personally developed the car models completely in-house and are only available when you purchase a Cool Performance simulator, so you know you will have something truly unique and exclusive. We also have a remote coaching service that is available with our software; we can provide you with data created by a professional driver, we are also able to provide you with a full report on your driving and what you need to do to improve and most importantly how. So effectively you can have professional coaching from the comfort of your own home.

PC Details

To ensure cutting edge performance and the best graphics, every formula racing simulator we provide is powered by a high end water cooled top of the range gaming PC. We are using the latest highest grade computer components to ensure your simulator experience is silky smooth.

We set up each PC so you don't have to. Taking away the hassle of initial set up. We programme the PC so that certain applications load in specific ways and set up each game with their optimal graphics settings.

Our PC's are set up with remote support, this means if you ever feel the need for one of our expert engineers to look at your simulator, we can. Via an encrypted code which you can give to us and we do the rest! These codes expire after we are finished with the remote support session to ensure your PC is never at risk of unauthorised access.
