Seems quite costly.

Indy 500 Winner Buddy Lazier and former IRL regular Davey Hamilton (who
will be returning to competition this year) had a chance to drive with
the GS-1 G-Seat. The event happened at Sinden Racing HQ on Gasoline
Alley in Indianapolis. Lazier and Hamilton piloted the rFactor X-Car
mod around the virtual Indianapolis Motor Speeday while the GS-1
provided "seat of the pants" feedback.

Both drivers were impressed with the GS-1 G-Seat. Lazier, after almost
an hour in the simulator, commented that the feedback from the seat is
very realistic. Hamilton said that the Ultraforce GS-1 combined with
rFactor and a triple-monitor display delivered the best racing
simulator experience he had ever had.

The seat looks at its best in action, Pat.

The image http://www.ultraforcesim.com/new_files/image004.jpg looks
somewhat utilitarian. I guess the key is once at in the seat in a
reasonable racing position all you see is the screen and feel the motion.

The images with Buddy and Davey look pretty cool. A major coup getting
those drivers on board!

Cheers
Tony

Niche product, niche pricing. Simple economics.

Nice, looks like a great setup. When I win the lottery I'll place
an order.

Cheers,
Rod.

It's not cheap, but try pricing a Virtual GT or a Virtual Racer X.

The $3,600 price will include a racing cockpit that the GS-1 seat will
be mounted in. The Ultraforce simulator will be a bargain considering
the driving experience it provides.

The iVibe is superb! I couldn't believe how much more fun rFactor was
with this thing. I wouldn't be without one now.
