F1 Simulator use in Formula One is big business. The heavy restrictions on track testing has accelerated the move, but as technology advanced the emphasis on simulation was always going to increase. While a team may spend half an hour during a test day making set-up changes and then head out to complete a run with the car in that specification before returning for feedback and more time making changes, a simulator allows such tweaks to be made instantly and also removes the variables such as track temperature, wind speed and direction. Even dialling out fluctuations in areas such as grip levels can give a more accurate comparison of car changes. ![taking-f1-simulator-to-next-level](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/News_Images/taking-f1-simulator-to-next-level.jpg?width=300&name=taking-f1-simulator-to-next-level.jpg) A huge amount of work goes on away from the race track for F1 teams, but what does it take to create a simulator fit for the pinnacle of motorsport? F1i was invited to [Ansible Motion at the Hethel Engineering Centre in Norfolk ](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/about-driving-simulator-science)to see just what is in offer to teams. With a number of current F1 clients (which cannot be named for confidentiality reasons) as well as former users such as Caterham, Ansible Motion has been successfully breaking in to the motorsport world since it was set up in 2009.

We offer a range of automotive Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators featuring advanced computational and mechanical performance capabilities, and industry-unique motion and immersion solutions that create compelling virtual worlds for drivers and product development engineers. Ansible Motion DIL simulators are used by automotive and research organisations around the globe to place real people into direct contact with imagined vehicles, on-board systems and situations. Our DIL simulators are designed, built and developed at our factory and R&D Centre in Hethel, England. In 2022 we were acquired by AB Dynamics plc ([www.abdplc.com](https://www.abdplc.com/)). - [Home](https://www.ansiblemotion.com) - [Applications](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/applications) - [Products](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/driving-simulator-products) - [About](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/about-driving-simulator-science) - [Blog](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-articles) - [News](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news) - [Contact](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/contact-ansible-motion-for-driving-simulator-information) Ansible Motion Limited Hethel Engineering Centre Chapman Way, Norwich NR14 8FB UK [+44 (0)1603 908070](tel:+4401603908070) ![international trade](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/Ansible_Motion_Feb21/international%20trade.svg)   © Ansible Motion Limited 2009-2026 - [ Privacy Policy](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-privacy-policy) - [Purchasing Terms](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/purchasing-terms) - [Terms of Business](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/terms-and-conditions) - [Modern Slavery Statement ](https://www.ansiblemotion.com/modern-slavery-statement) [** ](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ansible-motion/) [** ](https://www.youtube.com/user/ansiblemotion) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "Article", "articleBody" : "F1i learns about F1-standard simulation and why it is so helpful to teams before having a go ...", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Phil Morse", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/author/phil-morse" }, "dateCreated" : "September 07, 2015", "dateModified" : "February 09, 2022", "datePublished" : "September 07, 2015", "description" : "F1i learns about Ansible Motion's F1 simulator and why it is so helpful to teams before having a go at a lap of Spa-Francorchamps ", "headline" : "Taking an F1 simulator to the next level", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 800, "url" : "http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/453384/News_Images/r1-com-logo_400x400.jpg", "width" : 800 }, "keywords" : "", "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/ansible-motion-automotive-driver-in-the-loop-simulation-news/taking-an-f1-simulator-to-the-next-level", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.ansiblemotion.com/hubfs/AML-10-years-logor.jpg" }, "name" : "Ansible Motion Limited" } } ```
