"while drivings controls are molded to reflect their real-life counterparts."
Since when does a modern F1 car have a steering wheel like that, and big colourful buttons to press!! It looks like Grand Prix 4 by Geoff Crammond (Legend). As a previous poster said, a decent PC and a Top Logitech Wheel and thats much better also a F1 game for the PC...... oh hang on we dont have one why 🙁
 
Tom's, didn't you guys post an article about another simulator that was on hydraulics? Was it even this much? This looks kind of cheesy and I would rather be playing GRID or GTR. The one on hydraulics looked completely awesome as it never stopped moving back and forth and up and down and... and...
 
As a former actual player of the Pole Position games, I have to concur. If you want this type of rig go buy an old machine out of the "Gold Mine" Leave the real racing simulators to the pros. Pacesetter = fail
 
There's a much cheaper solution...

3x Xbox360 -> ~$600
3x samsung 32" TV -> ~$1200 (cheaper if you buy them used or go with a less expensive monitors)
1x Playseats evolution -> ~$400
1x Xbox360 wireless racing wheel -> ~$100
3x cheap tv stands ~$150
1x sony DAV HDX589W surround sound -> ~$300
1x Scrapping the gay and expensive plastic car mold -> free!

Total Cost -> ~$2850

Having all of your friends call you a freaky geek, but still secretly be envious and come over all the time to play....

Priceless!
 
I agree with the rest this.. is just nonsense. So many better ways to do it, and at least make it look nice and sharp. This looks like a bland kid's toy.
