That seems like a lot of money for a video game. I am sure my sons set up did not cost anything near that, the steering wheel has motors in it to give you tactile feedback and its cool and its fun. You dont need to spend that much, as you probably would not get all that much use from it
I'm pretty sure the software included isn't your standard video game. It's a real sim based on even better physics and a computer dedicated to the task. It's even got a curved monitor plus monitors on either side for a full view.
It's not just some game that you can go buy online or something. They go in and model the tracks with LIDAR and I think they're the company that shares some of that data with the video game companies.
I think... I'm not 100% positive. Some of this is questions I meant to ask when I went and tested the simulator, but I'm pretty sure I understand it right.
I understand that it would be super awesome. I just think that I would rather drive the real cars over the very best simulation. Even if they can get 9/10ths of the feel, it would still be lacking
The sim would be for amusing myself, wet days, nights, partying with friends, etc...
You can take a sim car to 20 different tracks in a weekend. You can't do that in reality.
