Pretty cool simulator:

Here's a video if it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2ryZY56EmI

EDIT: For those wondering the price is $30,000

I'm still trying to find the most cost effective chair/cockpit to combine with a Logitech G25 wheel, and this one looked pretty good:

http://www.granturismocockpit.com/

It's apparently ~$425 and available with a custom stand for the G25 gearbox. It has pre-drilled holes to bolt the G25 down rather than use it's clamp system as well.

Here is the G25 wheel if anyone's interested:

http://techgage.com/article/logitech_g25_racing_wheel/1

It costs about $280 CDN and any pieces you touch (i.e. wheel + shifter + pedals) are all either leather or stainless steel.



If anyone else knows of any reasonably priced "cockpits" I'd be interested.

that wheel is not 280 man
it was 129 at HBC (yes, weird place to shop for these) and under 200 for a long time already

I just quickly looked at tigerdirect.ca for a price, you could very well be right.

Memory express has it for $220 as well now that I checked again.

Your saying that the Bay has this thing for $129? are you sure it's the same wheel? I find it hard to believe their $100 cheaper than memory express. Logitech does make another wheel around the $129 price category, but it isn't as good.

Do you have a link to this or did you see it in store? i'd pick up one of these if it was only $129.

I saw it on ncix for $150 or something a couple months back but i missed out on it.

Ya definately want to see the price on this below 200>? as I'll probably pick one up. There is however going to be a new Logitech wheel released at the same time as GT5 which should be an improvement over the G25.

Personally I've got a homemade cockpit using an APC reclinable racing seat and aluminum so that it's not super heavy. I do however need to make some adjustments to it to mount wheels on so they are more stable/.
