Costa has installed a Grand Prix race car driving simulator aboard the new Costa Serena, which will be officially inaugurated in Marseille on May 19 and sail from Venice to Greece, Turkey and Croatia in its first season. Installed on Deck 12 of the ship, nearly 100 feet above the sea, the simulator was produced from an original Grand Prix race car and is the result of advanced real-time vehicle modeling -- the same software and technology used by Grand Prix champion drivers themselves in training. This new addition follows the success of the driving simulator on the Costa Concordia, which entered service in June 2006. The simulator onboard the Costa Serena will go even faster than the one on the Costa Concordia, with virtual speeds of up to 217 mph.
In addition, the "Costa Serena Grand Prix" will blend the world's best racing circuits such as "Zandvoort" in Holland, "Suzuka" in Japan and "Interlagos" in Brazil. The course is almost a half-mile longer than the one on the Costa Concordia. As on the Costa Concordia, the Grand Prix race car driving simulator will have four levels of difficulty. The Grand Prix race car driving simulator will be inaugurated by Pierre Combot, a French Grand Prix driver. Combot will complete the first lap and set a record time for all the ship's guests to beat. The official delivery of the Costa Serena is scheduled for May 15 at Fincantieri's Genoa-Sestri Ponente shipyard. For more information, call 800-GO-COSTA or visit http://www.costacruises.com/.
