Theose guys over in the off topic section have a GT5 series going & everything. I'm putting mine away as it has already cut into real car prep time but for 12$ worth of wood & a $50 game if you set the controls right its pretty real in 3D.

Get yourself a copy of rfactor or similar and you will be MUCH happier with the physics versus playing a ps3 game. Cool setup though!!!

You could move it to my house for the rest of the winter

Very cool set up!

drivinhard

yeah but in a race car out on the track, you don't have to listen to your wife yappin'

Nicely done! I've been playing a lot too, it's still way to cold here (costs to much to heat the shop in January).

Can you hear yours from Road Atlanta?

drivinhard

all I can hear is "if you get killed out there, I'm going to kill you again"

Thats priceless

Definitely go with iRacing and do it while you do your track prep

Good stuff! I haven't got that into it yet but I enjoy several racing games on the Xbox. Most recently I've been playing the F1 2010 game. I'm also checking on a couple racing games for the PC.

I think both of the car racing setups pictured would benefit from what Talon90 did for his at-home gaming....

Wow, that is a sweet set up for sure! home made?

I have tried R-Factor, not a big fan. Too complicated - I don't have time to download new files and unzip and all the stuff. GTR and GTR2 was on the same level and that was a decade ago.

I do want to try I-Racing so I can start getting some time at Mid-Ohio.

GT5 - I love it. It's art work in motion! It's not perfect - having to work to get the cool cars, but I have discovered B-Spec and let my two drivers get stuff while I am doing other things. I also had some non-SRT8 Chrysler 300 keeping up with my C5z with some mods in one race... Besides that, man what a great sim! I was driving a 458 Italia (modified) having this awesome battle with a Ferrari P4 and the sounds that car makes are glorious. I have a green c3 and it's a blast to try to drive something like that around the track... Talk about lean!

Need for Speed Shift has also suprised me - it's pretty damn good, plus is has Road America and Willow Springs... I have built and ST1/ST2ish C6 and I'm running 2:18's at Elkhart. That said, it does lean a bit toward the entertainment side...which is aok by me.

I know PC games are way better ,just pain for the pc challenged. A friend of mine sent me a pic of my World Challenge car on GTR2 apparently they took the Laguna 2006 starting grid & made it a download. I ran out & bought the game & found out I didn't have enough PC. I now have newer I5 pc ,but won't load my logitech software. If anyone has that download I would love to get a copy.
My friend no longer has it.

All I hear is "Life insurance paid up?"

Seen a similar set up using pvc pipe. Thought it would be a good way to get some use out of FX1s during the winter as that is the only time I really play video games. Seems like I only have Forza 2 - they are probably on Forza 5 now. Good idea.
