<p>
	<span display="inline"><span ipsnoautolink="true">Alcuni giorni fa la <strong>Fanatec</strong></span> ha pubblicato un nuovo driver in versione beta da far testare ai suoi utenti. Il driver 291 porta con sè un firmware specifico per le basi CSL Elite, sia <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/76174-ps4-csl-elite-racing-wheel-by-fanatec/" rel="">quella per Playstation 4</a> che <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/74320-csl-elite-series-by-fanatec/&amp;page=21" rel="">quella per PC/XBox</a>, ma è compatibile anche con le <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/67918-fanatec-clubsport-wheel-base-v25-servo-power-and-multi-platform/&amp;page=135" rel="">basi ClubSport</a>. Questo nuovo firmware introduce un nuovo valore da impostare sulla corona dello sterzo, chiamato FEI (Force Effects Intensity). Lo scopo di tale parametro è di andare a smorzare le eccessive vibrazioni che con alcuni titoli generano un forte rattling nella base, difetto che avevamo segnalato anche noi nelle nostre video recensioni. Se volete provare il nuovo driver beta, potete scaricarlo dal <a href="https://www.fanatec.com/forum/discussion/554/new-tuning-parameter-force-effects-intensity-fei-beta-firmware-survey" rel="external">sito Fanatec</a>.</span>

<p>
	La Thrustmaster annuncia ufficialmente il suo nuovo volante denominato <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/76568-thrustmaster-ts-xw-racer-sparco-p310-competition-mod/" rel="">TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 Competition Mod</a>, realizzato in collaborazione con la Sparco, che utilizza appunto un bellissimo volante dell'azienda di Volpiano. Il nuovo TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 sarà disponibile a partire dal 22 Settembre al prezzo di 699,99€. <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/76568-thrustmaster-ts-xw-racer-sparco-p310-competition-mod/" rel="">Domande e commenti sul forum</a>. Qui di seguito tutti i dettagli nel comunicato stampa.
</p>

<p>
	<em>Those most dedicated and enthusiastic fans of authentic racing game experiences on Xbox One® and PC will be thrilled to learn that THRUSTMASTER® is about to launch a high-end racing wheel designed just for them and to increase their standing on the competitive e-racing scene. The TS-XW Racer combines the best elements of THRUSTMASTER’s advanced racing wheel technologies, while creating a feel that’s closer to real-world racing than ever before, thanks to the involvement of SPARCO®, the world-famous auto parts and accessories company!<br><br><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Just one look and you’ll be ready to burn rubber</span></strong><br>
	At 12.2 inches / 31 cm in diameter, the wheel of the TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 Competition Mod is a 1:1 scale replica of the real SPARCO P310 sports steering wheel. Its ergonomic shape has been specially designed for total efficiency, no matter what racing style (GT, F1, NASCAR, Indy, road racing, etc.), circuit or car it’s being used for. Offering a design honed for competition ensures that the wheel meets all the needs of competitive racing right out of the box.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><img alt="ts-xw_main.jpg" height="305" src="http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/TSXW/PR/ts-xw_main.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="702"></em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>The central faceplate is crafted of metal, and the wheel itself is wrapped in genuine suede leather: it also features 2 large (5 inches / 13 cm tall) all-metal, adjustable wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Ecosystem-ready, the wheel can easily be detached from the THRUSTMASTER TS-XW servo base thanks to the handy THRUSTMASTER Quick Release system. The wheel includes all the controls racing drivers could ever need, featuring 14 action buttons as well as 1 directional pad with a push button function. What’s more, the angle of rotation can be adjusted from 270° all the way to 1080°!<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Serious power and technology under the hood</strong></span><br>
	The TS-XW Racer benefits from THRUSTMASTER’s advanced technologies developed specifically to create the most lifelike sensations possible. The wheel features a brand-new, built-in, 40-watt brushless servomotor, providing incredible velocity (dynamic torque) that when combined with controlled power, is able to support intensive use during long hours of e-racing competition without any decrease in performance.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em>The new Motor Cooling Embedded system (patent pending) ensures that the motor always remains highly dynamic and responsive – thanks to a drastic reduction in terms of heating effects – while staying very quiet, so as not to disturb the driver’s immersion in races.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><img alt="TS-XWRacerSparcoP310-PR1.jpg" height="320" src="http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/TSXW/PR/TS-XWRacerSparcoP310-PR1.jpg" style="float: left;" width="366"><br>
	The TS-XW Racer also includes all official Xbox One® buttons, to allow easy switching between the game, system menus, social features etc.<br>
	THRUSTMASTER’s innovative new Field Oriented Control algorithm dynamically optimizes the wheel’s response to intense torque demands, while the proprietary H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology™) system provides razor-sharp 16-bit resolution (for a whopping 65,536 values)!<br><br>
	Turbo Power – the external power supply specially developed by THRUSTMASTER – delivers constant power and massive peak power, instantly responding to ultra-fast requests from games. Its toroidal shape allows for optimized power efficiency of 86% (with just 14% heat generation), with a mind-blowing 400 watts of peak power!</em>
</p>

<p>
	<br><em>THRUSTMASTER’s use of a dual belt-pulley system with a metal ball-bearing axle gives the TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 Competition Mod excellent smoothness and fluidity, all while remaining incredibly quiet.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><img alt="TS-XWRacerSparcoP310-PR6.jpg" height="424" src="http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/TSXW/PR/TS-XWRacerSparcoP310-PR6.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640"><br>
	The TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 Competition Mod even features internal memory to save the user’s settings, as well as upgradeable firmware so that the wheel can always take advantage of the very latest updates.<br>
	The wheel’s clamping system has been designed to be both sturdy and versatile, for quick and easy attachment to any type of desk, table etc.<br><br><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Total control from your hands, down to the tips of your toes</strong></span><br>
	Thanks to the extensive use of metal parts (employed for the pedal heads, as well as the entire internal structure), the wheel’s pedal set ensures a rock-solid level of performance. The 3 pedals can also be fully adjusted, in terms of their height, spacing and inclination.<br>
	In addition, the pedal set includes THRUSTMASTER’s unique and removable Conical Rubber Brake Mod: when installed, this mod provides ultra-progressive resistance at the end of the brake pedal’s travel.</em>
</p>

<p>
	<em><img alt="TS-XWRacerSparcoP310-PR4.jpg" height="353" src="http://www.thrustmaster.com/sites/all/modules/imagemanager/files/TSXW/PR/TS-XWRacerSparcoP310-PR4.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="640"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Compatibility and even more compatibility…</strong></span><br>
	As mentioned earlier, the TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 Competition Mod is compatible with the entire THRUSTMASTER racing product ecosystem (pedal sets, detachable wheels, gear shifter), giving drivers the much-appreciated flexibility to equip themselves with all of the gear they need to win races.<br>
	The TS-XW Racer is an official product for both Xbox One® and Windows® 10. It is also compatible with Windows 8/7/Vista on PC: the wheel’s drivers are available for download free of charge (excluding any Internet connection costs) at <a href="https://support.thrustmaster.com." ipsnoembed="true" rel="external">https://support.thrustmaster.com.</a><br><br>
	•    The TS-XW Racer SPARCO P310 Competition Mod racing wheel will be available from September 22, 2017, at a suggested retail price of 699,99€ (taxes included).</em>

<p>
	Dopo i dubbi e le prestazioni altalenanti delle prove libere del venerdi all'Hungaroring, le due Rosse di Vettel e Raikkonen partiranno in prima fila nello schieramento del GP d’Ungheria, come potete leggere in dettaglio <a href="http://f1grandprix.motorionline.com/f1-gp-ungheria-qualifiche-prima-fila-tutta-ferrari-vettel-in-pole/" rel="external">a questo link</a>. Come è stata possibile una tale prestazione, per non dire "trasformazione", delle monoposto di Maranello, soprattutto in cosi poco tempo? Ancora una volta grazie anche all'utilizzo del simulatore, come del resto <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/sport/i-problemi-della-mercedes-f1-risolti-al-simulatore-r23666/" rel="">aveva già fatto la Mercedes</a> a giugno e <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/software/il-miglioramento-della-ferrari-anche-grazie-al-simulatore-r23582/" rel="">la stessa Ferrari nel mese di maggio</a>.
</p>

<p>
	Il nuovo pacchetto aerodinamico portato dalla Ferrari in Ungheria ha infatti funzionato alla perfezione. Su un circuito tortuoso come quello ungherese, dove il bottone magico per la potenza extra del motore Mercedes ha influito in misura decisamente minore, la Ferrari è riuscita a recuperare prezioso carico aerodinamico grazie a delle importanti evoluzioni tecniche. Ricordiamo che la FIA aveva vietato alcune importanti soluzioni sulla SF70H: la chiusura della “scimitarra” in carbonio che fletteva nel bordo esterno del fondo dietro al deviatore di flusso, vincoli sulla possibilità di aggiungere additivi alla benzina attraverso l’olio lubrificante, infine un intervento sull’asse forato anteriore, che ora deve essere o tutto aperto, o tutto chiuso.
</p>

<p>
	Come sempre accade in Formula 1, i tecnici Ferrari hanno cercato di ottenere la stessa performance e vantaggi utilizzando però sistemi legali e consentiti dalla FIA. I nuovi deviatori di flusso sono stati studiati in dettaglio in galleria del vento, ma non sempre in pista si ritrovano da subito gli stessi valori che si vedono nel wind tunnel, con le numerose variabili che possono influenzare le prestazioni (asperità della pista, vibrazioni della power unit, le gomme). Sebbene perciò il nuovo pacchetto aerodinamico non abbia entusiasmato nelle libere del venerdi (Seb e Kimi sono andati più piano quando l’hanno montato), non è stato accantonato, ma sono stati cercati i motivi che hanno impedito di vedere i risultati che la Ferrari si aspettava.
</p>

<p>
	Una parte del merito delle due Rosse in prima fila è quindi proprio delle prove fatte al simulatore (ricordate che la Ferrari utilizza una versione personalizzata del <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/68582-ferrari-f1-sceglie-rfpro-per-il-suo-simulatore/&amp;do=findComment&amp;comment=773212" rel="">software professionale rFPro</a>) da Antonio Giovinazzi. Il pilota pugliese, dopo aver sbattuto con la Haas nella prima sessione di prove libere, è stato spedito immediatamente a Maranello per verificare al simulatore del Reparto Corse i dati raccolti in pista da Vettel e Raikkonen, sperimentando sul famoso ed inavvicinabile “ragno rosso” (nella foto qui sopra) le modifiche che gli ingegneri consigliavano dalla pista. Ovviamente non sappiamo come si è svolto il lavoro o quali dati il software è stato in grado di validare o ottimizzare, ma a quanto pare ha funzionato tutto alla perfezione!
</p>

<p>
	Sempre più spesso ormai parliamo su DrivingItalia di simulatori professionali, come per esempio il primo e famoso <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/hardware/il-simulatore-dallara-ci-impressiona-in-video-r23455/" rel="">simulatore Dallara</a>, il <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/hardware/il-simulatore-cruden-per-lautomotive-r23749/" rel="">Cruden</a>, il recente <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/hardware/scopriamo-il-simulatore-chevrolet-r23742/" rel="">modello Chevrolet</a>, quello <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/76018-jeff-gordon-al-simulatore-nascar/&amp;do=findComment&amp;comment=848702" rel="">Nascar</a> o <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/75982-indy-500-alonso-si-prepara-al-simulatore-indycar/&amp;do=findComment&amp;comment=848417" rel="">quello Indycar</a> usato da Alonso per prepararsi alla Indy 500, l'hardware <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/hardware/mclaren-vehicle-dynamics-simulator-si-mostra-in-video-r23679/" rel="">McLaren</a>, fino ad arrivare all'inarrestabile Billy Monger che, dopo lo spaventoso incidente a Donington, ha ripreso confidenza con la pista <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/76242-billy-monger-torna-in-pista-al-simulatore/&amp;do=findComment&amp;comment=850422" rel="">proprio al simulatore</a>!
</p>

<p>
	Vorreste provare uno di questi mostri da milioni di euro? Non deprimetevi, perchè, come potete verificare dalla <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/software/la-geometria-delle-sospensioni-al-simulatore-r23670/" rel="">lettura di questo articolo</a>, la differenza fra un costosissimo simulatore professionale ed un software installato sui nostri PC è ormai davvero molto ridotta, come ci dimostra del resto l'<a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/home-page/hardware/barrichello-test-al-simulatore-per-la-24-ore-di-le-mans-r23607/" rel="">allenamento fatto da Barrichello</a> per la 24 Ore di Le Mans su un simulatore di fatto "commerciale".

	L'utilizzo dei simulatori di guida professionali è diventato ormai di uso comune. Fra questi è ormai molto conosciuto il <a href="https://www.drivingitalia.net/index.php?/forums/topic/62840-fifth-gear-prova-il-simulatore-cruden/&amp;tab=comments#comment-700622" rel="">simulatore Cruden</a>, che nel video qui sotto possiamo ammirare nella sua versione adattata al testing automotive, per esempio per analizzare le reazioni umane nella guida di un veicolo.

	Grazie ad un articolo <a href="http://www.racer.com/more/viewpoints/item/142395-crandall-peeking-behind-chevy-s-curtains" rel="external">pubblicato dal mensile Racer</a>, scopriamo il simulatore professionale della Chevrolet, situato a Huntersville, in North Carolina (USA), utilizzato per la simulazione delle vetture Nascar.
</p>

<p>
	<em>The simulator itself is the cockpit of a race car. Drivers climb in like they would a car, strap in with the same seat belts, look at the same digital dash, and use a standard steering wheel. The shifting mechanism even came from Hendrick Motorsports. Once inside, the top comes down completing the car look with the roof, windshield cut out, and driver's side window complete with window net.</em>
