I reckon buying a car and going to a racetrack is cheaper ... but this unit is not for home entertainment I reckon. it's more for driving simulation, no one gets hurt, possible lots of real racing tracks can be uploaded. I imagine it sitting in the shopping malls for entertainment, in driving schools possibly, at race tracks for the track drive simulation.
To someone the moves can appear weird, but it's to simulate the g-force. once you sit in there it's really an amazing experience.

Yeah I found one that was 125,000 POUNDS !!

And yeah the movements may appear to be too far and too wild but because your eyes are focused on a screen that doesn't show as much movement your body doesn't think you are moving very far at all. It then translates that excessive moevment as a g-force or sensation of speed.
