    I would make my own with hydraulics if I was into car racing. There has to be an way to add on some kit

    Nice! :) But if the big thin monitor doesn't have the strobe support for FAIL to match the CRT technology, the main disadvantage is the motion blur issue because we can't see 300... 200... until 150 or 100 or 50 for doubtfully press break pedal. ;)

    Man, I love the smell of ignorance around here any time anything with a SuperWide Monitor is posted, and anything with sim racing is posted.

    Indeed, completely wasted $ if you don't feel even a single jolt while "driving".

    This is just an extremely overpriced "gaming chair"

    91k Is that it??!! Pocket change.
    Iam pretty sure someone here can build something way better for a quater of that asking price!
    If I was into racing and had that kind of $ iam pretty sure you can find a Used race car for 100k and drive the Real thing instead.
    Dont know how some of these companys manage to stay in buissness honestly.

    lol, even if i had the money, i would rather get a 360* motion chair for 50K, add the screen/peripherals, and is still less than 60K.



    @nz3777
    no you cant.
    anything not +20y old will go for 1M or more (if its F1), and its not so much the purchase, as the cost to "have it",
    or that you would need at least a handful of ppl to take care/prep it.
    as in: running warm coolant/oil thru all system prior to be able to even turn it on.
    ignoring things like the fact you need a track (close by), or telling your insurer the last car you purchased does +200mph and you dont have a (race) license..

    most ppl with the money to do so, rent it from big teams, or pay for events at a track.

    There was an arcade near me once that had a similar chair but it was a spherical setup.... It was paired with sega genesis level graphics which were good at the time and was crazy to fly a fighter jet game in! That's awesome that the one you linked exists.... Couldn't imagine it with modern graphics and VR compared to a small 13" CRT in the setup!
