Red Bull Unveils RB18 Sim-Setup And You Won't Believe How Much It Costs

Red Bull has teamed up with Memento Exclusives to offer a sim-setup costing almost £100,000.

In an exciting new partnership, Red Bull has teamed up with sports memorabilia specialist Memento Exclusives to offer Formula 1 enthusiasts the chance to take to the track in their own homes thanks to a pair of incredible racing simulators based on their ingenious RB18. 

The Adrian Newey-designed RB18 made headlines in 2022, winning a whopping 17 out of 22 races, securing Max Verstappen his second successive drivers' title and contributing to Red Bull's Constructor Championship win. Celebrating this success, Red Bull have revealed these simulators, but you'll be surprised at just how expensive these things are. 

These static simulators, produced in Northamptonshire in the UK using the same process as genuine F1 cars, are set to be sold on the official F1 memorabilia e-commerce platform, F1 Authentics. Buyers will have the option of choosing between two exclusive editions: 'The Champions Edition' and 'The Race Edition', both of which feature a front wing assembly. Plus, to spice things up, both editions come with the option of either Verstappen or Perez-themed liveries.

Only one issue... if you want to experience the thrill of driving the championship-winning RB18 car from the comfort of your own home, you'll need to dig deep into your pockets. The simulators are priced at £74,999 for 'The Race Edition' and a staggering £99,999 for 'The Champions Edition.' But, as they say, you can't put a price on happiness. Unless there's a cost cap, of course. 

Red Bull's Team Principal Christian Horner said:

"We are delighted to have co-created a unique sim racing experience that puts drivers in the cockpit of the championship-winning RB18. Driving a Formula 1 car is something most of us can only dream of, but this simulator is as close as it gets to the real thing. Memento Exclusives have recreated the car to bring the track into your home."

Meanwhile, Barry Gough, the CEO of Memento Exclusives, expressed his excitement about the new partnership:

"It's an honour to be producing these exceptional RB18 show car simulators that celebrate and represent their 2022 F1 championship-winning season. This marks our first partnership with the team, and what a brilliant way to do so."

If you're an F1 fan with a love for all things Red Bull, these show car simulators are a must-have. They'll transport you to the heart of the action, putting you behind the wheel of a championship-winning F1 car without ever leaving your home. So, what are you waiting for? Payday?
