Seen 1 of these on Weston Super Mare Pier yesterday, going to go back tomorrow to have a go.
Anyone else been on one? Looks awesome!
Would love 1 in the spare bedroom!

If it was an f1 simulator, i would of thought you'd be in an actual cockpit...

Been meaning to go to Weston to try this since it opened. It's meant to be pretty good

Went down and had a go today too, alot harder than it looks, but good fun. Also makes your eyes go blurry after a few minutes.

£5 a go, but was half price when i was there.
You only get 2/3 laps aswell which is a bit dissapointing.

Humanracing have a few full cockpit 'mini' rigs that have been tested by Coulthard and Kimi. Force Dynamics do a pretty decent rig, the 401 (they also do the small 301 version); some serious money though.
Not sure why the Weston Super Mare Pier is three seats wide though, can't imagine many people want to be passengers
