Mika Salo, who achieved two podiums in Formula 1 between 1994-2002, recognises the benefits of sim racing in real-life driving

Simucube is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of sim racing hardware and offers some of the most immersive, real-life driving experiences from the comfort of your own home. 

Being the choice for many pro drivers, Simucube is quickly becoming the hardware of choice among the esports community.

Tony Kanaan, Team Redline and Antonio Giovinazzi are just a selection of top-calibre talent who deploy Simucube hardware on the daily. 

Mika Salo, Formula 1 driver for Lotus, Ferrari and Sauber from 1994-2002, is joining Simucube as a brand partner and ambassador. Alongside Mika is his son, Max, who’s a driver in the Super Taikyu series for 2024.

With Simucube hailing from Finland, much like the Salo duo, this is a partnership of heritage as well as quality.

Speaking about Simucube hardware, Max praises its realistic feel, which makes up for the lack of real-life testing in his racing series. 

Mika and Max will be content creators on Simucube’s channels. Make sure to follow their accounts to be the first to see the ultimate father-son sim racing duo!

This collaboration is organic and genuine and also shows the benefits of sim racing to real-life professional drivers. Modern Formula 1 drivers, such as Lando Norris and Fernando Alonso, swear by racing simulators to keep their skills sharp.
