Vesaro VR Stage 2, £18,852
Track days are fully booked for the foreseeable so if you want to get your laps around Silverstone in, you’ll need to look elsewhere. The plus though is that with Vesaro’s incredibly realistic VR set-up, you can schedule in your track day whenever you want, as many times as you want. Offering 2Gs of force across three axes and unsurpassed VR vision courtesy of the latest Oculus Rift, you’ll feel every skid and turn as if you’re there. It’s also plug and play, so you can get revving straight out of the box.
Available at Vesaro.
Alfa Romeo 4C Downhill Skateboard, £1,041
The makers of some of the most beautiful Italian cars in history have apparently gone street. This lowered longboard makes use of the marque’s obsession with carbon fibre and while it might not boast an engine of any degree, it’s still made in Italy. Oh, and if you were worried about your new Alfa Romeo board breaking down, rest assured that it’s been tested by world downhill champion Luca Gianmarco.
Available at Alfa Accessories.
