You Can Keep Your PS3 Or Xbox Says Tachoblog – We Want One Of These For Christmas
If you, like Tachoblog, like your racing games then this is the perfect Christmas present for you.
What you can see here is the Hexatech professional racing simulator made by Cruden. This is not a video game linked up to a steering wheel, race seat and pedals. Although easy to operate, this is the exact same equipment used by the top racing drivers and engineers to improve their race craft and evaluate new tracks and car settings. And you could have one in your living room!

The Hexatech promises years of highly challenging entertainment both in terms of durability – it is built to endure hundreds of thousands of ‘driving’ kilometres per year in almost constant use and lasts 10 to 15 years without major overhaul – and in ensuring drivers never get tired of the quest to improve.
Speaking to Tachoblog, Frank Kalff, Cruden’s commercial director explained, “Driving a real Formula One car is not easy and getting fast and consistent laps in the simulator isn’t either.
“The simulator takes minutes to learn and enjoy but a lifetime to master, unlike most driving games which are conquered and then discarded before too long. The immense challenge of honing the same level of driving skill as a top racing driver is unbelievably addictive and satisfying.”
Creating a bespoke simulator – or even multiple linked-up systems – will introduce an unrivalled centre-piece within the home. The Hexatech is now available as a three-seater (3CTR), where passengers sit either side of the driver to experience the ride together.
Cruden can supply open or closed cockpits, fit bodywork or use actual vehicles, and apply the livery of a race or road vehicle according to customer preference. Owners can choose between three ‘wrap around’ 42 inch screens or (stereo) projectors to view their virtual world of state-of-the-art graphics.
Friends and family can watch the race projected onto nearby screens or walls. There is a wide variety of software packages and competition settings to chose from, allowing customers to host fast lap shoot-outs, 24-hour endurance races and full championships, as well as to select race tracks and cars; for example from Formula One, rally, NASCAR and sports car racing.
What about a Scania or Peterbilt racetruck option wonders Tachoblog..?
Ownership is made easy with full installation, training, access to upgrades and on-call support provided as part of the purchase. The electro-mechanical system typically requires only five KWh of electricity, making the Hexatech economical to run. The simulator has a footprint of 2.3 m x 3 m, requires a floor loading of 1,000 kg/m2 and a minimum ceiling height of 3 metres. Cruden also makes static and 3DOF simulators to customer order.
