Default Broadspeed Coupe in a Racing Simulator

After watching and listening to this I'm building a gaming PC.

Ordered the wheel, pedals and shifter. Got some Old coupe seats to sit in too!

Awesome mate.
Let me know when your up and running and join you for a race or two.

I've always preferred the real over the simulated. & while that video is awesome, & I'm sure the right kind of equipment could add even more realism to the experience. It's still not the same as actually punting a big old XJC V12 around Blackwood, & in the end would leave me slightly frustrated & longing for the real thing. Awesome vid though!

Sweet, I was hoping for something like that? What track do you like to race on? I gotta get some practice to make it fair. For me there is a steep learning curve. I like Monza BTW and my best lap time was 2:16...that said I would welcome a reason to learn a new track.

My racing simulator WAS working great but then the Power supply blew and the video card requires uncommon PSU so I had to order it. The new PSU has arrived though. Nice weather here in the North East has me outside polishing my actual coupe today, so I the new PSU goes in later.

Nothing like the real thing but on those super cold days it was great being inside racing taking turns behind the wheel with family.
