Race fans can be one of the first to try out the Museum’s newly launched Sim Suite At Silverstone, featuring the UK’s leading racing simulators, geared to offering drivers a hyper-realistic racing experience.

At the launch, attended by professional racing drivers from sim suite partner Radical Motorsport, Davidson gave his verdict on the Museum’s latest state-of-the-art attraction, saying: “I’m really pleased to say that the Sim Suite here at Silverstone Museum is genuinely cutting edge. The sims themselves, the rigs are fantastic and the software that they use is second to none.

“It’s a really good experience for anyone to come along, play against a friend or colleague or even just try and put yourself on the top of the leaderboard to go for the fastest time and get a flavour for, not just this circuit here at Silverstone, but any track that tickles your fancy in a multitude of different cars.

“I really think it’s definitely something that you should find the time to include on your visit to the Silverstone Museum and helps to further educate the causal motorsport fan in terms of what real world drivers are going through anytime you tune into watch.“

To celebrate the opening of the new facility, the Museum launched an exclusive competition to set the fastest lap this Easter, which runs until April 14th. Competitive drivers booking the simulator experience at the Museum will have the chance to win a pair of hospitality tickets to the Radical Cup at Silverstone on July 27th – 28th.
