the driving tool
FOR EVERY CAR MODEL. FOR EVERY DRIVER BUILD.
ABITACOLO AB-1 is a mobile racing rig. An aluminum and steel frame housing mechanical systems for opening, closing, and adjusting the seating area, steering wheel mount, and pedal set.
It offers unparalleled adjustment options to replicate car driving positions and adapt to the driver's body measurements.
A solid yet responsive body, designed to distribute and modulate every Newton-meter of force, enhanced by optional soft, medium, or hard compound rubber mounts.
AB-1 is the driving tool conceived to give substance to virtual vision, enabling the most natural driving experience.
ERGONOMICS, ANATOMY, ADAPTABILITY: FROM HEAD TO TOE.
THE SEATING AREA COMPRISES 11 MOVABLE PARTS.
You can adjust the inclination of the headrest, shoulder support, backrest, and thigh support.
Customize the torso and hip width to match the driver's body measurements.
Set the width and angle of the knee support elements, which serve a triple purpose:
- - Define the width of the simulated cockpit
- - Maintain proper driving posture, reducing stress on muscles and tendons
- - Transmit force feedback vibrations to the legs
15 HIGH-DENSITY FOAM COMPONENTS, REMOVABLE AND WASHABLE, FORM THE SEATING AREA SUPPORTS.
Elements of varying shape and thickness to adapt to specific body parts and enhance ergonomics while driving.
COMFORT WHERE IT COUNTS
Given the extended driving sessions typical in e-racing, we've paid special attention to the genital area support to minimize stress from prolonged sitting.
BUT DON'T EXPECT PLUSH ARMCHAIRS
AB-1 is designed with race cars in mind. We've slightly softened the support consistency, but only enough to allow for longer sessions without discomfort, while still prioritizing driving sensitivity.
THE STEERING WHEEL IS ON A DRAWBRIDGE.
The steering wheel mount features a lifting system with knobs and retractable positioning pins for extremely precise vertical adjustments.
The mount is connected to supports with ball bearings that slide on special guides for horizontal adjustment and folding when storing the structure.
GRAVITY'S FORCE AT YOUR FEET.
The pedal support attaches directly to the frame with a four-point front coupling, utilizing gravity and the force exerted on the pedals to lock in place without vertical flex.
The pedal set mounting system integrates it into the support structure, increasing rigidity and minimizing horizontal flex.
The pedal support is adjustable in height, length, and angle.
MANY ELEMENTS, ONE UNIFIED FORCE.
INTO DRIVING.
When the seat, knee supports, steering wheel mount, and pedal set are locked in the chosen position, they become an integral part of the frame, enhancing rigidity and sensitivity, making the driver feel in full contact and total control of the car.
SOUNDS, SIGNALS, AND AN APP FOR QUICK PIT STOPS.
With so many adjustments available, it's not easy to remember them all. Quick and precise driving position changes, with movements marked by audio and/or visual signals, and an app to store all calibrations and have them ready for use.
