You win the internet today. Well done.

But that is totally awesome. Must be some pretty strong hydrolics to act that fast.

That simulator + richard burns rally = death, due to neck snapping action.

 

[Aharami]

mommy! i want one!!!!

those are some pretty exaggerated motions. I wonder what happens when he crashes. Does it eject it straight up thru the roof?!

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

do want

More like DIY barf stimulator. It does look vary unrealistic. More like what I'd expect for a flight simulator.

What exactly is unrealistic?

It's mimicking the g-forces you'd feel as you accelerate / corner, which it looks to do very well.

At first I too questioned the realism based on watching the movements of that contraption in relation to what's on the screen but then I realized what I see from my perspective isn't exactly how the driver feel in his.

Yep, at first I too thought "wtf that's extremely exaggerated!"
Then the one comment on that page made perfect sense.

You don't get the benefit of actually feeling true G-forces, so that platform exaggerates movement to help mimic the weight shifting one would feel at every moment, where your weight would feel concentrated.

If it was surrounded by solid black, I'd imagine that'd be awesome to play.
But when your constantly looking at the screen, the immersion of weight-shifting plus the screen always being front and center would probably help eliminate the problem of your eyesight correctly gauging orientation and thus breaking the simulation.

I wonder how much that cost!! Do want!

Looks like an awesome way to break your neck..
