Adrenaline Pack for Ferrari Virtual Academy Available
|
Ferrari has released the “Adrenaline Pack” for the official Ferrari Virtual Academy simulation, adding two new cars to the simulation. The pack adds the Ferrari F150, Ferrari’s current Formula One challenger, as well as the Ferrari F458 Challenge car to the netKar Pro-powered simulation. The F150 comes with full simulation of DRS and KERS, the pack does not add any new tracks or other features though. The Virtual Academy only offers hot lapping as the title features no AI or online mod to race against other players. The Adrenaline Pack sells for 9.90€ for existing Virtual Academy owners, existing owners also receive the Nürburgring & Mugello if they don’t own it already. Sim racers who have missed out on Virtual Academy can buy a complete package for 19.90€, containing not just the two new cars but also the Ferrari F10 and three tracks (Mugello, Fiorano and the Nürburgring). If you haven’t checked out Virtual Academy yet, make sure to read the VirtualR review of the initial release. |
Ferrari Virtual Academy – F150 & F458
|
Ferrari released an official simulator of their F10 Formula One car based on netKar Pro and equipped with up to three laser-scanned tracks. The simulation, which was part of a hot lap contest that gave the most talented players the chance to prove themselves in a real race car, was met with universal acclaim, featuring great graphics, spot on physics and great Force Feedback.

Ferrari Virtual Academy Winners in Fiorano – Videos
|
A week ago, Virtualr posted a popular story about the winners of the Ferrari Virtual Academy hotlap competition and their big prize, a visit in Maranello and the chance to drive a real Formula Abarth race car at Fiorano. Now, Ferrari has released a bunch of videos, allowing us to follow Italians David Greco and Matteo Vecchioni, Spaniard Jon Tanko, German Martin Kronke and Portugal’s Jao Nunes all the way from the airport to the medical checks, the simulator and finally to driving the real racing machine. Unfortunately, the videos are partly narrated in Italian, part of the interviews with the winning drivers are in English though. Like most sim racers that got to try out a real race car, the drivers emphasize on the difference between driving a virtual car and hitting a real track, they also praise the accuracy of the laser-scanned track though. |
