 |
|
The drivers attending this week�s Formula One test in Bahrain will face an altogether different challenge on Thursday, after being invited to try out one of the world�s most advanced flight simulators. The racing stars will swap tarmac for the skies at the special event held by the organisers of April�s Bahrain Grand Prix in conjunction with race sponsors Gulf Air.
The recently-launched flight simulator cost US$10 million and allows participants to �take the controls� of either an Airbus or Boeing aeroplane. It is currently being used by Gulf Air to train pilots in the region.
The exclusive event will take place after the first day�s running in Bahrain on Thursday February 22. A further three-day test is scheduled to take place at the circuit from February 27 to March 1, followed by the Grand Prix on April 13-15.

Interesting.
From piloting a vehicle with wings to keep you on the ground to the total opposite of piloting a vehicle with wings to keep you off the ground. |
