Have you ever wanted to be a Formula One driver? Of course you have.

The thing is: the chances are you are not, or will ever be, one of the lucky few to drive an F1 car in anger around the streets of Monaco.

However, don't despair, as we think we've found the perfect solution to your woes.

What you see above you is the ultimate F1 simulator. You sit in a bespoke full-size F1 car replica in front of three 23-inch screens and you also get a quick-release steering wheel, Brembo brakes (which are, of course completely useless) and a 5.1 digital surround sound system for a realistic F1 driving experience. And, of course, the simulator has a built-in top-of-the-range PC, so you can play virtually any F1 racing game you desire.

On top of this, you can specify the car in any current F1 livery. So, if you fancy pretending you're Fernando Alonso, you can have a Ferrari, and if you find yourself crashing all the time, you can kit your car out like Romain Grosjean's Lotus.

If you want to experience the ultimate Formula One simulation, you can find the simulator on the Costco website; however, there is a small hitch -- you'll have to stump up £89,999.89 for the privilege.
