I don't know if I'd ever be able to get used to all of that movement haha, that's kind of crazy. You may be able to get immersed in it if you were playing in a really dark room.

I'll stick to my stationary setup for now hahah. For any of you guys into racing sims a cheap setup is well worth in my opinion. It makes for much more consistant lap times, and is a lot more comfortable for the longer events. After owning one for almost a year now I don't think I would ever go back to a desk chair.

(Helmet was just for photos lol, I'm not that big of a nerd hahah)


And the new addition, a 320mm wheel compared to stock G25 270mm. Also makes a large difference in how smooth you can drive and hold your line.

yea its a fun game i have an s2 license for it (full unlocked everything) and the car u speak of is not a supra. do ur homework . its one of the best sims ive played. i just think that driving "apparatus" over does it with the movements. it makes it look like ur doing wheelies and endos in the car

It's not the movement that is being simulated it's the G-forces. Since gravity is only 1G and most decent race cars can corner, brake, and accelerate at over 1G (Formula 1 cars hit 5G's all day long) that seat is trying to get him close to horizontal just about every time he touches the pedals or turns the wheel. It may be too extreme for most sim racing fans, but it's doing about as good a job as it can at trying to simulate the forces you feel.

TRUE. you cant look at how much the chair is moving. bc the tv screen is moving with it.... its gonna feel like ur getting pulled by the car.. not that ur gonna flip over.. he needs a real 5-point for sure!

iRacing is the best racing simulator IMO... Its entirely online, and you cant even race against other people until you are able to post a certain lap time in the practice mode. Once you do, your automatically thrown into a league, where you pretty much have to work your way up like they do in RL. Its awesome, but its hard as hell, and its expensive.. (Monthly fee, and you have to purchase cars and tracks). You cant even play the game unless you have a steering wheel, that's how serious the makers of the game take it. On the site, it says "This is not a game, it is a racing simulator" Lol...
