A rare collector’s dream has just hit the auction block — a one-of-a-kind racing simulator designed to replicate Max Verstappen’s RB21 from the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix. This isn’t just a gaming setup; it’s a fully immersive, high-tech tribute to one of Formula 1’s most iconic victories. The simulator, auctioned by F1 Authentics — the official platform for licensed F1 collectibles and memorabilia — is listed with a starting price that roughly converts to $107,000 and is available for bidding until April 25, 2025.
Inspired by the red-and-white livery worn at Suzuka, the simulator pays homage to Honda’s first F1 victory in 1965 with the RA272. The design features clean, minimalist detailing, including Honda’s signature “H” badge on the nose, subtle Red Bull branding, and personal touches commemorating Verstappen’s triumph.
Crafted in collaboration with Oracle Red Bull Racing, the simulator recreates the RB21 cockpit down to the sidepod step-in and seat position, immersing users in a car that made history.
The hardware is where this simulator truly separates itself from the pack. Built with haptic actuators, a front pivot configuration, and a D-Box Generation 5 2250i Haptic Motion System, it recreates every bump, vibration, and directional shift a driver would feel on track. From the moment the wheel turns, the machine responds like a true Formula 1 car. The experience is rounded out with a 49-inch curved AOC display, premium surround sound, and top-tier components like the Rexing Mayaris Formula wheel, Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Ultimate+, and a Simucube 2 Pro force-feedback wheelbase. A rack-mounted high-spec PC ensures seamless performance and immediate responsiveness.
Every element of the simulator is engineered for realism, not just aesthetics. The adjustable pedals and race-grade controls give aspiring racers and enthusiasts the feeling of a true F1 cockpit, while the motion system simulates g-forces and track textures with unmatched accuracy. This simulator doesn’t just look like Verstappen’s car — it performs like it too.
The release celebrates a historic moment in Max Verstappen’s already legendary career. His 2025 victory at Suzuka marked his fourth consecutive win at the Japanese Grand Prix — a feat never before achieved at the circuit — and his first win of the season. Leading from pole to checkered flag, Verstappen demonstrated total dominance on a track that now feels synonymous with his name. As Honda’s partnership with Red Bull came to a close, the win served as a powerful farewell and a new benchmark in Verstappen’s legacy. For fans and collectors alike, this simulator is more than equipment — it’s a tangible piece of Formula 1 history.
