ships with control and setup software; includes support for Live For Speed, NASCAR 2003, and others TBA

all power supplies, amplifiers, and motors are UL listed & CE approved

calculated lifetime of four years operating at maximum load 24 hours/day;

expected lifetime of eight years in a commercial environment

301 pricing from $10,000 to $30,000US depending on options..........

They should clarify that as 2+ "transient" not "sustained" G's. I can pull more than 2G transient just by falling on my arse.

There was a video of someone playing a rally racing game floating around not too long ago. It was pretty cool. It doesn't look like much, but it is not something you can just get at the hardware store.

We're talking logic and controls for the actuators...programming to interfact the game to the controls....

Think of it as a flight simulator ... for the car junkie with spare change...

I'd love to have one...but I'd have to sell one of the real cars to get it
