As a child many of us dreamed of driving a Formula One race car like Mario Andretti. Now with the availability of the F1 Show Car and F1 Simulators your dreams just may come true. The dream can now become a reality.

Once a vehicle has finished racing or has been retired as a test car it starts its new life as a show car. They are available for your corporate events adopting the colors and logos of your company to boost morale and team spirit at your gathering. Corporations often rent the simulators as well. These are very real to life driving simulators in authentic cars with real tires and uncompromising aerodynamics.

The aerodynamics are crucial with an F1 race car, it sets them apart from any other car in the world. It is more closely related to a fighter jet then any other car. All of them use the same Bridgestone rubber tires as mandated in the rules. The fuel however, is very close to the premium fuel you might use in your own vehicle.

Racing season is from March to November and including 19 races from different locations all over the world. The locations are as diverse as the planet with races in Istanbul to Shanghai. Every year the Champion is entered into the Hall of Fame. Mario Andretti was inducted as champion in 1978 and currently the new faces to watch are recent past winners Fernando Alonso who won in 2005 and 2006, and Jenson Button who won in 2009.

Two races to not miss are the Grand Prix de Monaco with it's picture perfect azure water and the beautiful Australian race. The Quantas Australian Grand Prix is surrounded by palm trees and the sea. Architecturally, all of the locations are designed for excitement and beauty.

If something more on the lines of team building is what you are looking for, then search no further than a Pit Stop Challenge. With the use of the real show cars you can feel your adrenaline boost as you perform the mechanical duties of a true to life pit stop crew. Racing against another team or the time clock this will get your heart pumping.
