Now in New Zealand: VIRPIL Stock in Hamilton
Player1 Sim Gear Is Now in New Zealand
One of Australia's leading simulation specialist retailers is crossing the Tasman. We are opening an expansion warehouse in Hamilton, starting with local New Zealand stock of VIRPIL Controls, and our owner is a Kiwi.
A Note from Our Owner
I'm a Kiwi. I'm from Whanganui, and all of my family live in the Waikato, so bringing Player1 Sim Gear to New Zealand means a lot to me personally.
For the past four years we have built Player1 into one of Australia's leading simulation specialist retailers. Now we are opening an expansion warehouse in Hamilton so Kiwi sim pilots and sim racers can get premium gear locally, with the same honest, expert advice our Australian customers know us for.
You can still reach us the same way you always could. Call or message my mobile anytime, and you will be talking to people who actually use this gear.
