Russia applies iGaming ban
Reading Time: < 1 minute

The new virtual private network (VPN) has taken effect in Russia, blocking players from iGaming platforms.

 

The online gaming industry without a current license by the government of Russia has been limited with the implementation of a new virtual private network (VPN). The new platform has helped authorities block unlicensed iGaming sites and restringing players’ access to international websites.

The block has been commended by the federal law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection,” proposed earlier this year. The Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and Mass Communications (Roskomnadzor) has urged virtual private networks (VPN) services to set stricter conditions of access to international websites, including online gaming platforms.

Online companies are concerned that Russia’s crackdown on several internet sectors may affect the free access to websites in general. In particular, VPN services are expected to be completely banned if policies against online domains keep getting approved. Furthermore, the negative perspective in the country grew as authorities are allegedly preparing a law to expand the power of Roskomnadzor, which would jeopardise the technology and communications companies’ operations.

ASTON MARTIN ARAMCO LAUNCHES ULTIMATE SIMULATOR USING MOTION TECHNOLOGY TO RECREATE F1 RACING

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

  • The motion simulators, available as a limited run, are built by Memento Exclusives – Aston Martin Aramco’s sim and show car partner
  • The newly developed simulator launch commemorates with Fernando Alonso’s recent 400th F1 race at the recent 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix
  • Collectors and gamers can visit f1authentics.com to learn more

Aston Martin Aramco F1® Team is bringing its fans closer than ever to the experience of becoming an F1® driver, with the launch of brand-new motion simulators.

Motion simulators are created by an expert team at Memento Exclusives – the memorabilia specialist based in Motorsport Valley – utilising the same processes as F1® teams, to offer an unrivalled racing experience. Designed to recreate the famous race cars seen on the tracks, these Aston Martin Aramco’s Motion Simulators boast high tech systems which aim to immerse the racer, offering them the chance to experience every twist and turn around iconic racing circuits.

Aston Martin Aramco F1® Team and Memento Exclusives have made simulators available to the public in iconic racing green before, but adding movement to the simulation experience is set to take sim racing to new heights. Each motion simulator has been developed in partnership with the race team at Silverstone, and features haptic actuators, a front pivot configuration and haptic rumble feedback. This advancement offers gamers and racers true authenticity, with the motion of a real F1® car accurately emulated from the moment they jump into the cockpit.

Motion simulators are just one of the ways Aston Martin Aramco F1® Team is innovating with technology in recent times. Lance Stroll has been noted for his sim work over the years and revealed ahead of the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix that he partially rehabilitated a broken wrist by practicing in a simulator. He famously went on to finish sixth in that race. Spanish legend Fernando Alonso, who recently celebrated his 400th Grand Prix at the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix, has also lent his voice to emerging technology with Ai.lonso – offering visitors to the Aston Martin Aramco website the ability to hear selected articles read in his voice in multiple languages.

Barry Gough, CEO & Founder of Memento Exclusives (F1 Authentics) commented: “We are delighted to announce the next phase in our partnership with Aston Martin Aramco; these motion simulators take sim racing to the next level, providing gamers and racers with the closest experience to racing an actual F1 car. This launch, commemorating Fernando Alonso’s 400th Grand Prix and recognising Lance Stroll’s history with simulators, is a testament to this partnership and the technological advancements here at Memento Exclusives, offering new ways for fans to own the moment.”

Matt Chapman, Head of Licensing and Merchandise, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One® Team:  “This is a really exciting collaboration with our partner Memento Exclusives, bringing the world of Formula One to life for sim racers, collectors and our fans alike. The look and feel of the motion simulator makes it an immersive experience and the addition of movement builds upon the previous simulators we have collaborated on together.”

Aston Martin Motion Simulators are only available in limited numbers and via f1authentics.com or Memento Exclusives’ private sale service.
