Ferrari will soon be able to exploit the assets of its new cutting-edge simulator at Maranello following the completion of the facility's construction and fitting.

Ferrari announced on Wednesday that calibration work will be carried out at the sim in the coming weeks, with the Scuderia relying on its new tool in September to support the design phase of its all-new 2022 car.

Sitting between the Italian outfit's Gestione Sportiva's main office and the Fiorano test track, the sim unit is at the forefront of its field and reproduces in a 360° environment, "the lowest latency and the widest bandwidth of anything currently on the market", according to Ferrari.

The virtual high-tech tool follows a completely new concept which is the result of an exclusive collaboration between Ferrari and Dynisma, a UK-based high performance motion company headed up by former Ferrari engineer Ashley Warne.

It is based on a completely new concept the result of a collaboration between Scuderia Ferrari and Dynisma, a UK-based company headed up by former Ferrari engineer Ashley Warne. It has been produced exclusively for the Maranello team.

"Simulation and digital technology are going to play an ever more important role in the development of a Formula 1 car and we believe we have made the best possible choice, focusing on creating a tool that will enable us to make a generational leap in this sector," commented Gianmaria Fulgenzi, Ferrari's head of supply chain.

"To produce it, we chose Dynisma, a young and dynamic company. It has taken two years to complete this project and now we are ready to start using it on the 674 project, which is the name given to the car that will be produced based on the new technical regulations that come into force in 2022."

Over the summer, as it prepares for races weekends, Ferrari will continue to rely on its current simulator for its development work on its SF21.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
