The online racing simulator
Is this LFS being used for F1 sim?

Looks a lot like LFS. I also see the now defunct Simtools' Simview (gauges on the right-most monitor) and other familiar toys in their nest (AIM and MoTec analyzers, etc, just like many of us use).

I should have gotten into commercial sim building when the franchise was still fresh.

Nop, isn't lfs :P
How can you tell?

And if not, then what sim is it?
It's just a sim built by Williams.

It doesn't look like LFS.

I don't know for certain, but rFactor PRO is used by at least 1 current F1 team.
Might be rFactor Pro.
To me it did look like a "Pro" version of LFS. Something about the graphics, frame rate, rendering... anway..I wish I could know for sure.

I can see how it could be a one-off just for Williams, but even with that kind of money why start from scratch with so many top-notch off-the-shelf offerings these days?

Anyway, thanks for chiming in folks. I was really hoping this was like an LFS Pro or something. I haven't seen rFactor Pro (but rfactor2 is in the works!).
It's clearly rFactor Pro, look at the display that shows the laptime at the very end of the video.

Nice catch!
