The alternative - should the classic car be banned from the road ...
04/01/2017
Many German city centers have already imposed driving bans on old cars and autonomous vehicles are soon to come onto the market, which will make life even more difficult for old cars.
It is foreseeable that it will be difficult to integrate a classic car into autonomous traffic. The old classics will then probably remain in garages or end up in museums. To counteract this, resourceful developers have now created the classic car simulator. This simulator, co-developed and already tested by zwischengas.com, is called" ClassicDriveSim" and can be fitted to any car in just a few simple steps. Initial public tests at trade fairs have been extremely successful and interest is huge.
However, the ClassicDriveSim will only be a success with the right route software. This is why there are already 17 different routes available for download at www.zwischengas.com, which can be used, for example, to drive over the Grimsel, Furka, Grossglockner or Susten passes or along the Alsace Wine Route. The original routes of the Mille Miglia and the Ennstal Classic are in preparation for the more sporty riders! For simulator owners with racing ambitions, the Targa Florio, the Nordschleife and the Goodwood Circuit will be added soon. ClassicDriveSim owners can of course make further suggestions.
The simplest set for CHF 1080 / € 990.-- includes the lightweight aluminum bars for mounting on the car, the screen with Velcro fastener and a retro-look projector, as well as the software for the laptop and the sensor equipment for taking over the vehicle steering impulses!
If you want a more lifelike experience, you can order a set of wheels for CHF 450 / EUR 390, which allow you to actually drive the car. Converted driving resistances are transmitted to the trolley via the rollers according to the track. However, this option can only be recommended for indoor use if an exhaust extraction system is available.
Another option allows the vehicle to be mounted on hydraulic elements so that the driving physics are conveyed as authentically as possible. The digitized tracks already contain the corresponding control signals, which are then used to activate the hydraulic elements. These can be fine-tuned to suit the vehicle type (e.g. hard/sporty for the Lamborghini or soft/comfortable for the Cadillac).
For the market launch, a subscription discount of 25 percent is being offered to those who decide quickly, which is only valid today. So it's worth getting in quick.
