TIGA Racecars Simulator - Sequential GearleverIn line with the specification of our two MG Lola EX257's which are currently undergoing preparation work at RML in readiness for the upcoming Masters Endurance Legends Championship we have now added a sequential gearlever to the LMP2 chassis that we installed at the end of last year. Customers can now choose between paddle-shift and gearlever in the simulator depending on which of our prototypes they are racing.

Driver, Neil Primrose, our first customer since the previous upgrades, had this to say about his experience:

"I had a great familiarization session on the Team Tiga Sports Proto Sim (I had only just recently completed runs on the BP and iZone models) - It's great how Mike and the team have incorporated the Base Performance model into a real LMP2 Chassis. With the planned upgrades this will be the best option for all drivers wanting to prepare in readiness for driving real LMP and Sports Proto cars"
