The slight catch is that simulator company Cruden is charging a cool £120,000 for the privilege.
The Hexatech simulator is described as an extreme alternative to popular home gaming equipment for affluent motorsport and performance driving enthusiasts.
It's a professional full motion simulator with six 'degrees of freedom' (6DOF), realistic g-Force simulation up to multiple g's, seat belt tensioners and 100 per cent realistic steering feedback.
The system is normally found in top secret Formula One factories and automotive research centres.
Now, this same sophisticated equipment can provide the definitive motorsport experience at home, with prices for the base simulator package starting at £120,000.
"Snooker rooms, swimming pools, gyms and cinemas have been done time and again.
"Now, enter the professional racing simulator," said Frank Kalff, Cruden's commercial director.
"Let's be clear: this is not a video game linked up to a steering wheel, race seat and pedals.
"Our simulator and the software it uses cannot be bought in a store."
The Hexatech is now available as a three-seater (3CTR), where passengers sit either side of the driver to experience the ride together.
Cruden can supply open or closed cockpits, fit bodywork or use actual vehicles, and apply the livery of a race or road vehicle according to customer preference.
