Red Bull launches RB19 simulator and show cars

Red Bull has joined the party, launching two products any petrolhead would dream of owning. For the first time, full scale Motion Simulators and Show Cars are available to buy through F1authentics.com, the biggest sellers of F1 Race Cars and official F1 Show Cars worldwide.

The products have been authentically reproduced by Memento Exclusives and its team of expert team of engineers and mechanics, all with decades of experience in motorsport.

Recognising the growing popularity of sim racing as a respected sport, Memento saw the demand for a more lifelike experience and using the same building process as the real race cars, the RB19 simulator provides the user with an immersive F1 experience featuring the latest technology. Haptic actuators, a front pivot configuration and haptic rumble feedback replicate the similar intensity to that of a real F1 car.

Alongside the simulator, Red Bull’s RB18 and RB19 championship winners are available to buy in show car form. Buyers can choose between Max Verstappen or Sergio Perez branding, as well as a variety of liveries, including ones used in Las Vegas, Miami and the US Grand Prix. Each purchase will be accompanied by one of the Amalgam Collection 1:8 scale models of the RB19.

Barry Gough, CEO & Founder of Memento Exclusives and F1 Authentics: “We’re delighted to be offering these world exclusive Oracle Red Bull Racing Simulators and Show Cars. The RB19 was the most successful F1 car in history, winning both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships and breaking multiple records. As proud partners of the team, reproducing the most dominant race car to hit the tracks is a phenomenal moment in our company’s timeline. We are really excited about the evolution of motion technology and see this as the first chapter in a new era of bringing fans closer than ever to the sport they love.”

How much will these new products set you back? A Las Vegas Edition Oracle Red Bull Racing RB19 F1 Team Simulator is currently on sale for £100,000. For the show cars, Price On Application is currently the line, although a 2024 Sauber offering is commanding a price of £250,000, so I’d expect it to be higher than that.
