Erocker's Racing Setup?

I knew he was into those racing video games, but I didn't know he wore a helmet while he played as well!

Yes, I know.. I know. My skills may allude to myself using such a setup, but this is my real setup.



I'm much rather buy a real car and some days at the track for that price.

I just glazed over the specs.. This comes with everything. If I was uber-rich I would probably get one.

Yes yes incl. "white glove delivery and training"!

BTW, this is the money shot right here. Ok, the suit is one thing...but a helmet?

You would have to be mental to spend that kind of money on that. I'm sure you could build that for a 10th of the cost if you really had that much of a hard on for a simulator.

It's all relative, man, based on wealth, income, location etc. What some of us spend on a high-end GPU could probably feed a family of four in the third world for like a year if not more.

Yeah and for that price ya would think they do away with the helmet and give ya a TIR and cap even if only the 4th model as it's a total game changer.

This one is a bit cheaper. I saw this and it reminded me I read a review of something similar awhile back.
