Blade

Introduced in 2020, early prototype testing of Blade was completed during the UK lockdown by stars of the race track, including Dario Franchitti and Anthony Davidson, who used Blade to compete in The Race All-Star Series and other Esports competitions.

Built on a specially-commissioned, rigid, powder-coated steel frame, this simulator boasts a BPS carbon, two-pedal, pedal box with electric fore/aft adjustment and a bespoke BPS carbon fibre race seat.

Blade features the Precision Sim GPX Steering Wheel and runs a professional steering motor from Simucube.  For sound and vision, Blade is supplied with a Cambridge Audio speaker system and Sennheiser headset plus a single 49” curved Samsung monitor with 120hz refresh rate, which creates a fully immersive driving experience.

Blade runs Assetto Corsa software and is delivered with all the car and track models that are used in the full-size single-seater and GT simulators at BPS’ headquarters in Oxfordshire. Car models are constantly updated in-house with real data and validated by professional drivers. Track models are also regularly updated to keep up with the subtle changes to tracks, meaning that anyone using Blade to prepare for their next real-world race is right up to date.
