Horry Macharoh! I rather spend $35 on PC race controls (with pedals and vibe mode) and a good software PLUS have a kart event in the middle of winter...

Yup! SIMs are nice and all... but i'd rather be doing the real thing. i DO see benefits of sim to at least learn th lines and rethym of the track. Need to really learn the very complex Nordschleife track before i get there in May/June. Convinced wife we need to go there for a few days

The platform in the video is a Frex SimConMOTION. It's currently ~ $1650.00 (198,000 Yen). Then toss in the wheel/pedals/display.

Plus LCD screen(s), computer, etc. i am talking a dedicated system. Figure $4k computer, one large or three surrounding LCD panels, the Motion unit, proper pedals, wheel, shifting unit...
