I remember play Nascar where up to 8 people could race at our Dave and Busters. That was fun.

This could be a load of fun for awhile, but couldn't I use Eyefinity at a cheaper cost to do this? Sure, I don't get the cool looking car shell, but so what?

 

[bob_white]

I cant wait to get one

 

[bob_white]

Hopefully the have more than one car to choose from, like a Lamborghini ?

That shell car thing looks horrendously naff

With an Eyefinity6-equipped i7 920 rig, 3 30" monitors and a decent Logitech wheel costing no more than $5,000 I fail to see where the other $28K has gone.

OK, the software's bespoke but even then this is just stupidly overpriced.

Just get rid of the plastic car. Keep the computer, monitors and controls and you're probably looking at $5k or so. And I hope this can play any racing game you install or its really a waste of money.

Are...Are those CRT monitors!?!?! A set-up that'll drain your life savings should have the very sharpest cutting-edge tech,right? And what's with the plastic half-car?!?! LOL!!! that looks like my kid's bed!

Steering wheel and dashboard looks taken from an arcade console, not a pro racing car!

It looks like the seat doesn't even give you some force feedback (tilting when accelerating/breaking/steering or crashing).

Not worth the price!

3x 22" monitors: ~$800
Steering wheel and pedal : ~$100
Seat: ~150
Computer hardware: ~2000
Total: ~$3000, essentially 1/10th the price, the only thing lacking is the polyester racing cage.

give me bezel-less monitors for that kind of money...cmon.

Plus, the graphics look horrible.

Is this a late April Fools? Would rather have a nice wheel, seat, PS3 and the ever late Gran Turismo 5 than this. Looks like its from the 80's.

Normally I am not a negative person but I am going to have to +1 this comment lol

If I was going to get all goofy with something like that I would rather have some sort of flight simulator. Racing is fun and all but yeah Gran Turismo is pretty much the pinnacle of driving simulations.

Screens are a bit too close for your eyes.
Also ugly. Like a toy in a mall.

Or you could just get a real car and spend a few bucks at the track for less $$$.

 

[thejerk]

What a joke.

 

[silverblue]

CRT monitors as well.

 

[quantum mask]

This thing is ridiculous. If i had the money, i wouldn't buy it. I'm just glad this isn't ANOTHER iPad article! OMG

FUGLY.. totally agree on the '80s comments. I remember playing Hard Driving at the arcade which appears to be where they got the driving controls from.
