GulfRun recently launched its racing simulator in Baroue, Avenues. We wanted to bring something new in Kuwait where anyone can experience the adrenaline, the fun, and the skill required to drive fast around a track. The simulator was built with top notch components and specs, just to give you an example, its equipped with a highly advanced computer-driven full-motion system that use sophisticated electro-mechanical actuation yielding zero latency fast movements where you feel every shift, bump and braking of the car. Other features of the simulator will be mentioned later.
Yesterday, the simulator was completely reserved for the bloggers to try it out and have a small competition in. The response was great as they enjoyed driving it and were eager to lower their lap times to beat the other bloggers. Here is the rank of the bloggers and their lap time:
Rank | Blog | Lap Time | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Brakebanzeen.com | 1:08.131 | ||
2 | Q8stig.blogspot.com | 1:10.510 | ||
3 | Uptill1.com | 1:11.322 | ||
4 | Zdistrict.com | 1:12.160 | ||
5 | 360dewan.com | 1:20.607 | ||
6 | Hishersq8.com | 1:21.217 | ||
7 | 7ajidude.com | 1:26.039 |
The competition for first was fierce but brakebanzeen was able to take first place with some great driving skills. Overall it was a great day and we can’t wait for you to come and try it. More pics after the jump.

Thank you for coming. I was actually very happy that you were able to drive really well from the first time. 1:08 is good, but Im not gonna consider you very good until you get in the 1:06 😉

1:03 is near impossible with traction set on high. I got 1:03 with traction completely off with alot of effort. But 1:04 is easy enough with traction.

[…] Once we arrived, the GulfRun boys, as always, welcomed us with open arms and gave us a quick breakdown as to how to operate the machine. The details are mind-blowing with springs, actuators, bolts and bits out in the open for everyone to see; many of the items are custom-built. Once you slide into the lightweight racing seat, you’re buckled in tightly. At first, I thought to myself “do I really need these belts on”? YES! Once the race was underway, the seat threw me around like I weighed 15kgs. My heartbeat was racing as I knew I only had 3 laps to nail a good time as we were in friendly competition against one other (time sheets are up on GulfRun’s blog). […]

1:12 means you are definitely heading in the right direction. I suggest you read about the basics of driving in a track (Race line, braking point, entry & exit speed…), this will help you to get below 1:10 or even 1:08.
Good luck 🙂
