We apologise for the “no pun intended” banner headline, but we wanted to draw your attention to this rally simulator. It has been designed and developed by Motorsport Simulator, a Czech-based company that builds professional-grade racing simulators.

These simulators are designed to lower the cost of competing, according to the company. But if you’ve grown tired of your worn-out desktop — which is about seven years old and has 3GB of RAM — while trying to run a PC racing sim at 60fps at 1080p on a 4K screen, then perhaps you should consider giving this company a call.

Motorsport Simulator also sells these units to amateurs, or you could even consider renting one — which is a bit like renting a tuxedo.

Who in their right mind would rent a tux, let alone consider attending an evening gala filled with people talking importantly about nonsense?

Sorry… it was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
