1. A driving experience simulation device comprising at least five superimposed planes, said planes being in sequence from a bottom upwards: a first plane comprising a first rotation plate; a second plane comprising a second rotation plate; a third plane comprising a track-like structure for sliding of an overlying slidable base; a fourth plane comprising said slidable base, a third rotation plate integrally joined beneath said slidable base, a support bearing said third rotation plate and slidable in said structure; and at least one fifth plane comprising at least one cockpit, configured to enable a user to access said driving experience simulation device, said simulation device having said rotation plates superimposed in a de-centered fashion thus being non-coaxial structures, said first rotation plate having a greater diameter than said second rotation plate, the second rotation plate having a diameter equal to or greater than said third rotation plate, said second rotation plate having the center thereof in a point that can be projected on the radius of the underlying first rotation plate, said third rotation plate having a center thereof in a point that can be projected on the radius of the underlying rotation plate or along the circumference thereof, said track-like structure being integrally joined—at an upper part—to said second rotation plate and being dimensioned to enable the sliding of the overlying slidable base, each of said first rotation plate, second rotation plate, and third rotation plate being rotatable by 360° around the rotational axis thereof both clockwise and anticlockwise, said driving experience simulation device being configured to simulate forces related to lateral acceleration forces that occur when negotiating curves, wherein said track-like structure of the third plane is constrained to the underlying second rotation plate by means of a pin, the pin constraining a front smaller side of the rectangular side of the track-like structure with the edge of the underlying rotation plate of the second plane.
