<p class="p1">Projectors relay views of different terrains, from a proving ground to coned-off test course.</p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Control room monitors feedback from simulator and can change </span><span class="s2">what’s projected on screen, or adjust tyre degradation.</span></p>

The screen's 120hz r<span class="s1">efresh rate is&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">double that of&nbsp;</span><span class="s1">a cinema screen.</span>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The system has an 8-metre diameter</span><span class="s1">wraparound screen</span></p>

12 PCs are used to run the systems.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">There's a 247.5&nbsp;</span><span class="s2">degree field</span><span class="s2">of vision on&nbsp;</span><span class="s2">wraparound&nbsp;</span><span class="s2">screen.</span></p>

<p class="p1">Unlike hexapod layout of regular simulators, Delta Series uses stratiform set-up that allows movement in many directions at any moment</p>
