A Race Car Simulator That Costs Almost as Much as a Race Car

Anyone interested? Check it out, over at PC World, video included. Thanks Dave!

"If, like me, you’ve always dreamed of driving a race car really, really fast, but have been deterred by minor worries like the possibility of smashing headlong into a wall at 175 mph, you’ll drool over the Simcraft Apex SC830."

Thanks for posting the link to the article.

It has to be an amazing experience racing in this thing. I would've liked to see the player having to take numerous type of corners aside from slightly banked curves along an oval, though.

Agreed, wish he was doing a road course.

That simulation he is racing is at www.iracing.com, and is available to anyone to join and race...you don't need a $40,000 simulator, you can use your home PC and a decent Logitech steering wheel. Too bad OS or even PC World wouldn't give credit to iRacing.
