Think this could bring on some motion sickness, though can't help thinking that when he takes a corner it rolls into it as apposed to rolling away from it!!

Still, if you can afford it, it would be fun.

Hi Nigel

the sim is correct as you cannot make G force so it's simulated with opposite roll.

having driven one of those i can vouch for the superb effect when you can only see the screen.


ie: it only looks wrong from outside.

Rick is correct...The screen is locked to you and the roll is merely to allow gravity to press you sideways in your seat, simulating cornering G.
