WoW
what game is that?
Looks like something my little brother would do if he was into racing games...

[ThatGuy]

Hahaha, you see the vid in the thread? He slid back in his seat when he took off. Who needs a full-motion sim when you get so into the game you move yourself? :rawk:

That is a BA set-up.

Just a heads's up. GT5 (PS3 in general) can support up to 3 monitors also. So you will be able to make a st-up like that for GT5. One of the other guys on here also posted the new Logitech wheel that has a 6 speed shifter and a clutch. I plan on building a set-up similiar to this when i finish off my game room downstairs next year.

link not working :(

[projekt_s13]

^^ lol what are you talking about? It works for me.

[Arsenal of Glory]

that looks like GTR or GTR2. Simple and clean setup. Not feeling the Logitech G25 setup though. That shifter sucks ass and pedal is way too firm.

Frex stuff is awesome

[azndummie]

[SimpleSexy180]

[NemeGuero]

Looks like a Z32 seat.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Ya umm, how about real life...

[s13silvia03]

That is a pretty badass home setup, I played the game in the arcade and looks like it recreates it pretty good.

Ya umm, how about real life...

alot of us didnt get the experience to get into karting as kids, nor do we have the funds to jump into professional racing starting somewhere.. so us 20 year old somethings tend to throw cash on our street cars in hopes to live up those racing dreams we have, all knowing that we will not get anywhere near professional racing in real life, much like alot of the drift scene is limited unless you can get sponsored..

Im debating to sell my s13 so i can fund a kart as entry level to turn into racing potential, but even then, 22 years old is kinda late in the game.

no offense taken, but for some, racing simulators can bring enjoyment and release stress in the comforts of home. Actually alot of pro racers turn to sims to learn the lines of a track.

How about it? I don't understand the reason for your reply? This thread is about a form of entertainment, not real life.

Frex stuff is awesome


the Frex stuff is nice, but major expensive..
i got a cheap Driving Force ps2 steering wheel with an old Grant steering wheel adapted to it.. and was building an H-shifter for it.. Does the job for $30bucks.. I want to upgrade the steering to the Driving Force Pro for the 900degrees and put a real steering wheel on that, then build my own pedals http://www.cannonsimulationtechnologies.com/

If your still looking for the DFP by the time I get the new Logitech wheel, i'll sell you mine for a good price.

holy shit, bad fucking ass

NASA Embraces Sim-Racing [12-12-2006 | JZ | Comments (0) ]
NATIONAL AUTO SPORT ASSOCIATION EMBRACES SANCTIONED SIM RACING WITH RACE2PLAY

The National Auto Sport Association and Race2Play jointly announce an alliance of firsts for both the real world of motorsports and the virtual world of simulated auto racing: Real-time sim racing online sanctioned by a real-world motorsports body.

Race2Play is the exclusive provider of the National Auto Sport Association's online racing division, and conducts all events under NASA regulations where applicable to sim racing. The two organizations plan future development programs for transitioning experienced sim racers to the ranks of real-world racers, bringing with them a well-earned foundation in race technique and knowledge.

"There's no doubt that becoming experienced and accomplished in sim racing is a huge step up for new drivers," NASA Executive Director Jerry Kunzman said. "These drivers are farther along the learning curve than others who may be just starting out.

"Even professionals find it useful, to be able to take sim laps at tracks they may have never seen before, to judge their line and braking points and throttle response through the turns. It's a huge advantage."

The National Auto Sport Association (www.nasaproracing.com) promotes and sanctions racing events at major venues throughout the United States, including its national championships at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. With the unveiling of NASASimRacing (www.nasasimracing.com), powered by Race2Play, NASA is the first real-world motorsports sanctioning body to fully embrace the benefits of simulated auto racing and its place in the racing world at large.

Race2Play (www.race2play.com) is a premier organizer of real-time simulated auto racing online, advancing the sport as the first and only such organization in the marketplace to be acknowledged and recognized by a real-world motorsports sanctioning body.

"We are absolutely thrilled to be making this connection between the real and virtual worlds of auto racing," Race2Play co-founder Todd Weiss said. "We believe the National Auto Sport Association to be a great match for the aims and interests of sim racers, and are extremely proud for NASA to have judged Race2Play the equivalent of a professionally run racing organization online."

oh god that looks like a shit load of fun

[HyperTek]

u need alot of time.. esp for online races, becuase you usually have sessions, practice for like 15 minutes, then qualifications, then warmup runs, then races... but everyone can vote to shorten those or skip thru the practices..

and u need to keep cool.. start of the races can be crazy because alot of people crash into each other at the first corner... so all that time u spent practicing and doing qualifications gets wasted if you dont keep a maintained run or someone taps you from behind and puts you out...

one of my most memorable momments was in GT legends *raciing 60's gt cars* (this game is really hard cuz if you get tapped in an online race, you might as well exit becuase its easy to loose control) and i was in 2nd place and we were running Dijon GP coarse and we where a few laps into it, I was driving a 65 mustang and on one of the uphill sweeps, the weight threw off on the car and I spun out right in front of the guys behind me... it was cool tho becuase i continued the race after that, even tho i lost my position. THe guys where like "haha dude i was right behind you when u spun out" I watched the replay a few times *you can watch the replay from their point of view) it was awesome.

[HyperTek]

crash at the start of a online race lol

[Arsenal of Glory]

Ya umm, how about real life...

same logic to people who play Virtua Fighter.....cause its leisurely entertainment

[BOROSUN]

even pilots has to go thru a virtual sim before flying the actual plane.
