Have you ever seen something that makes it clear anyone who buys it has too much money? The kind of purchase that makes no sense, and seems to come with a plethora of problems only the super rich could absolve. Something like purchasing a social media platform(opens in new tab) because not enough people like you, or buying one of these F1 Red Bull RB18 show car simulators for no fathomable reason at all.
Formula 1(opens in new tab) is proudly showing off two new PC gaming racer simulator setups that no one should ever buy. They're huge pieces of kit based on the RB18 model F1 car that took home 17 wins out of 22 races in 2022. The sims come in two variations, a base model called The Race Edition and an upgraded one called The Champions Edition which has a front wing assembly.
While the housing's made with the same process used to make real F1 cars, that means you essentially get a half-made racing vehicle shell in your choice of Verstappen or Pérez paint job. All for the low, low price of between £74,999 and £99,999(opens in new tab), plus shipping and however much it costs to remodel your house to fit it.
Of course, these sims aren't just racing car shells. No, because that would be silly. Instead there's a gaming setup hidden in here, though unfortunately F1 is fairly light on the details. We know you'll be getting some flavour of curved AOC gaming screen built into the kit, as well as Z906 Ultimate THX Surround Sound. The listing also boasts «The latest gaming hardware» but unless this thing is literally full of RTX 4090(opens in new tab)s there's no way it justifies the pricetag.
