Whilst digging around for some little gems for the BTCC, I stumbled across this. No idea if anyone has visited this site before, but if you have a few grand kicking around.

My other half wouldn’t let me have something like this  

Snowcrash being a young, well not so young  ,  free and single bloke has one, not the same make though and I don’t think his cost that much.

I just lean right back in my chair and imagine the wind in my hair

These look good and are about £330-£375

I have a game racer pro from about £265 (I actually have an older model that cost £240) and they also do an elite at £325 that can take a rumble thumper thingy (extra cost of about £200)

All prices do not include the wheel.

I did see that the sky's the limit with regard to what you wanted, they even have a replica Formula 1 steering wheel with replica Carbon Fibre for over £2000. Enjoy.

Come on Snowcrash, you know you want one.

£2000 for me would be a stonking gaming PC.

What I want is seat of the pants movement.

The top one is good but there's a newer version that can move continuous 360 so corners never end on the stop limits of the machine. The better version is about $100,000.

The ones these guys use are about £20,000 each

Can we get 10 people together? If we can it's £45 each for 3 x 15 mins racing plus training etc (2.5 hrs total)

Put me down for two Snowcrash.

The ones at Gatwick are more limited in their movement than the cool one at the top of the video.

I have a mate who did a works outing to the Gatwick place. Will ask him what he thought.

Sounds like a plan.

That link you posted about those other Racing Seats, they are truly awesome. I guess they must be air operated. ( I was going to put pneumatic, but I can't spell pneumatic.) I am by no means a great fan of Racing games, in fact I own one and am still trying to get out of the Pit Lane some 18 months later. Oh yea' I'm good, but, I think, once a few Bob has rolled in from our Shuttle venture, I might treat myself to one of these.

Get the game F1 2010 and a decent joypad controller and you’ll be driving like a rookie F1 driver in no time, to reach Lewis Hamilton’s skill level will take a bit longer
