Via Content Manager and the CSP (Custom Shaders Patch), you can unlock up to 60 cars.
Let’s create an equivalent “51 Starter F1 VM” on AWS with 51 GB storage.
You cannot run a 51-starter F1 VM on a laptop. Here is the minimum hardware for the host (the physical machine running the hypervisor). 51 starter f1 vm
| Component | Minimum Spec | Recommended Spec | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | CPU | Intel Xeon Gold 6248R (24 cores) or AMD EPYC 7343 (16 cores) | AMD EPYC 9654 (96 cores) or Dual Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+ | | RAM | 64GB DDR4 ECC | 128GB DDR5 ECC | | Storage | 2x 1TB NVMe SSD (RAID 0 for speed) | 4x 2TB Gen4 NVMe (RAID 10) | | Network | 1GbE dedicated port | 10GbE SFP+ with SR-IOV support | | Hypervisor | VMware ESXi 8.0 | Proxmox VE 8.0 (for custom kernel tweaks) |
Why so powerful? Simulating 51 F1 cars requires ~3 milliseconds of physics processing per frame. If your CPU cannot complete the loop in under 16ms (for 60Hz), the server "ticks" drop, causing warp and collisions. Via Content Manager and the CSP (Custom Shaders
To recreate your “51 Starter F1 VM” anytime, use Terraform:
