My new 'toy'
Can't be Just Another FIA 'Observer' ALL the time....
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by Jafo | Discussion: Personal Computing
I have the computer [i7-920 12gig and XFX 1g GTX285] ....I have the racing sims [GTR, GTR2, GTL, GT Evo, NetKar, GP4, rFactor, NFSU, TestDrive Unlimited] and....I already have the wheel/pedals [G25]....
Logical progression [and an Office/Computer desk rebuild imminent] and it's only fitting I drive in 'style'...
'Should' turn up here in a day or two...[for some reason it's coming from Perth, WA]....

paul, you have way too much time on your hands. one question, tho: where's the beer cup holder?
Reply #3 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:25 AM
Paul make sure you don't have any stains on your bottom before you sit in that nice white chair.
Reply #6 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:48 AM
no rear-view mirrors..this ain't street legal yo.
(but still a sweet piece of gear)
Reply #7 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:49 AM
It'll be so realistic that there might be stains when he gets OUT of the chair!!

Brad is paying you guys way too much 
. Doing any hiring, I'm well versed in the art of..umm... coffee making 
.

All you need now is some high-octane petrol scented aftershave and burning rubber incense.
Looks like fun!
Don't forget the full-coverage insurance option,racing can get rough.

@ some comments. On a more serious note and out of curiosity : Where does the screen reside ?
Reply #12 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 1:25 PM
If it was me...52" LCD TV mounted on the wall
Extremly nice toy, Jafo.
Now if they could come up with something that would simulate the G-force of driving.
Reply #13 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 1:27 PM
I don't think there's a built-in monitor. It's just a (very large) peripheral designed to be used with an existing computer system (or, I suppose, console).
If you experience G-forces while driving, let me know when you're on the road, so I can stay indoors.

Caution....it comes equipped with a "Smite" button....

Damn! For € 777,00 you'd think they would at least throw in some seat belts! Oh....and don't worry about stains...just cut a hole in there and install a bucket and your good to go!

G-force is felt in almost everything you do, including driving.
Here's some examples...
2.9 G's in a sneeze
3.5 G's in a cough
4.1 G's in a slap on back
8.1 G's in a hop off step

If you experience G forces at those levels in 'normal vehicle' dynamics then apologise to the tree you just hit....
My seat will be a black one so no 'issues' with panic on Nordschleife.
Re the screen....it'll stay on the 'work' desk where it belongs...

Reply #19 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 8:48 PM
Looks pretty comfy! I can see somebody falling asleep in that (late nights n' all).
