    Would complete Tifosi12's simulator rather nicely.

    All it needs is a hydraulic system under the wheels to feed movement to the chassis and Tifosi would have the next best thing to really driving one!

    Byron was telling me he tried that out while he visited him - Are there pics anywhere?

    A bit much for just a roller! The Shumacher Benneton was for sale last year for about the same price, with a Cosworth.

    I agree it's pricey. Plus, his info is inaccurate. The livery is from '94. the 1993 car had the yellow and green paint scheme. It's forgiveable, but you'd like someone dealing in something like this to be a little more knowledgeable.

    I was thinking it looked more like a '95. Definitely not a '93.

    We had some on the old FChat. Here a few I happen to have around, they don't show the front though:

    The sidepods have the sound system and the PC. Internal structure carries the pedals, steering wheel and seat. A video beam above the head projects the image onto a screen, which can be lowered in front of the car for racing. The wheel has paddle and sequential stick shift, which suits well for F1 and CART sims.

    PS: I was once contemplating to put the whole shabang onto a hydraulic platform, but luckily gave up on that idea again...

    PPS: I tried to include Xbox into the setup (via a separate video feed into the projector), but I haven't found a wheel with force feedback yet, that supports XBox and PC (although technically they really are the same).
