Aston Martin ups the game with its first official luxury home-racing sim

Sim-racing systems aren’t exactly rare in this section – well, not since the lockdown boom in digital motor sport – but Aston Martin has taken things to a whole new level by creating an officially sanctioned rig designed off the back of its ultra-successful Vantage GT3 and GTE racers.
Aston has partnered with Curv, which is the latest project from its veteran works driver Darren Turner, who already knows a thing or two about sim rigs from his Base Simulators training business.
Aston set its designers to work on the body of the rig, which is a full carbon-fibre monocoque, while Curv took care of the technical bits, fitting wraparound screens, a racing wheel and the full operating system.
