That first "simulator" is more of an art piece than a simulator. You're paying for the aesthetic way more than the actual sim racing hardware. You can absolutely tell they conformed the steering wheel and monitor setup to the chassis design rather than the other way around. Just look at how awkward the steering wheel angle is. Thats going to wear out your wrist super quick. Its a $60, 000 piece of art that happens to have sim racing equipment in it.

The first one so f*cking goofy. It's a normal setup you could get but its inside beach bench.

60k for a static seat and a single screen, what a rip-off!

The advantage of buying the 2 million dollar simulator is you'll be able to drive your wife really quickly to the divorce lawyer.

Even Max verstappen dont need a $2m rig let alone a $65k rig. He drives on a $15k rig at best.

What I would hate about the $2M system is the total lack of depth perception. I tried something like this in Las Vegas once, and I had no clue how far away parts of the track were. The screen is much further than the closest parts of the track might be. Adding those real wheels to look over into a 2D confusion drove me nuts.

What a terrible comparison. For $15k you could get something that rivals the drive quality by fathoms in the dynusma. And also has a motion rig

For 2M there should be actual wind hitting you

Oh, I love you guys, the best market analysis! Seriously, why not mention Eledator?

4ms input latency is not difficult and not the core problem. Visual processing latency is.

I'm the happy owner of 2 race rigs. One prosimu T1000 3 DOF and a MotionXP 6DOF rig. This with the latest VR headsets and monster pc's and their cheaper than the prodrive LOL 😆 😂 NOTHING beats a VR HMD...

You could replicate the dynisma experience for the price of the pro driver.

Honestly, @ProjectSimRacing and @boostedmedia have sim setups that are are better than the 63k setup and are just as entertaining as the 2M one

NootNoot.
