how much that be? i want
I would put all my furniture in storage to have that sucker in my living room! [thumbsup]
I got to try one of those a few years ago.
A friend of mine, who is a professional driver, said that was the closet thing I would ever experience to the "handling" of a race car.
make the beast with two backsing a, he wasn't joking.
Not easy.
Just found a site that had the price for the 301 at $37,500 and the 401 at $52K!!!
I tried one of those before... The one I tried had a Logitech G25 setup, minus the shifter and with the clutch disabled. I was completely unimpressed by the whole thing... The sound system kept malfunctioning, the controls were cutting in and out, and the "simulation" it was running was terrible (put Gran Turismo on one of those, dammit).
Now I have a Logitech G25 connected to my PS3... And it kicks ass, even if it isn't in an F1 bodyshell. Only cost me 300$ too.
Forgive my ignorance, but isnt the whole reason we pilot motorcycles is to get the thrills we seek in a package that doesnt break the bank. 37-52K for a sim? Shit, that's a 1198r money!
