Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine Ferraris first online virtual simulator, the Ferrari Virtual Academy, made its press debut at the recent Italian Grand Prix in the paddock of Scuderia Ferrari. The virtual simulator, developed in col- laboration with the drivers of the Scuderia Ferrari, Alonso, Massa and Fisichella, as well as its engineers, enables you to experi- ence all the sensations of driving an F10 vir- tually. It allows aficionados from all over the world to compete with each other on the Fiorano circuit, for the first release, and subsequently Mugello and Nurburgring. The Ferrari Virtual Academy is the only virtual simulator for PCs which faithfully reproduces the F10, the single-seater which competes in the Formula One World Championship. The simulator can be purchased online from the site www.ferrarivirtualacademy.com at a price of (Euro) 14.90 for the first release, the Fiorano Circuit, and (Euro) 9.90 for the fol- lowing releases with the Mugello and Nurburgring circuits. The challenge of the Ferrari Virtual Academy was to create a version of the sim- ulator used for training Scuderia Ferraris drivers which everyone can use on their own PC. By studying the videos filmed by the drivers and thanks to the helmet cam, which is fitted on the helmet and therefore responds realistically to the stresses of the track and the G forces that the driver is sub- jected to, this very particular perspective, as complex as it is thrilling to master, has been reproduced to recreate the tension that the neck muscles are subjected to when driving a single-seater. 27 W ednesday , Septem ber 15, 2010 O A KVILLE BEA V ER w w w .o akvillebeaver .co m The Ferrari Virtual Academy is Here Two Millionth Mazda6 Comes off the Line Metroland Newspapers Carguide Magazine Mazda Motor Corporation has announced that the cumulative global production vol- ume of the Mazda6 reached two million units at the end of August 2010.
