Wave Italy was founded in Maranello, a place with an historic and prestigious automotive tradition, internationally recognised because of the passion for quality . This renowned environment allowed the creation of a unique simulator which truly reproduces the feeling of a real Formula 1 car.

With its 2018 Phoenix Pro simulator, Wave Italy sets a new style line in the simulation panorama distinguishing its product through unique and innovative lines.The carefully shaped cockpit authentically reproduces the cabin size of a Formula 1, while the external shapes make the product unique.

“We have deliberately hidden any moving or wiring part, visual imperfections, to allow the soft lines of the shell stand out, recalling, through a minimal design, the details of ground effect cars rear and the famous curved sides,” explained Wave Italy’s experts.

Wave Italy’s Phoenix Pro Formula 1 Simulator is designed and built with light but resistant materials, such as aluminum and carbon. Precision engineering ensures the best of the simulation performance, while all hardware appliances are designed to transmit the feeling of a real car to the racer. Everything contributes to make the driving experience unique: from innovative belt system and seatback to simulate active braking and acceleration, to the tachisensibile steering wheel, to the brake set to 100kg of thrust, up to highly advanced electronics and software.

The pedals and the seat are adjustable to accommodate drivers of all sizes and ages, allowing them to get in the real position of Formula 1 pilots. A sophisticated vibratory system faithfully reproduces the roughness of the track and the curbs, exponentially increasing the rider’s feeling. Finally, a Dolby 5.1 audio system equipped with ERS transmits the authentic sound of turbo cars, involving the rider even more.
