seen these before but this is def the smallest one Ive seen yet, the other ones filled up a whole room and looked like they would be as expensive as a full flight simulator, damn if this one was that small and under a few thousand I might have to take out another credit card!

That thing shifts around like mad. I dunno, but to me, it seems unrealistic. Maybe it's to try to replicate the G-forces as it turns? I dunno, looks freaking crazy to me though.

yeah the severe angles are needed to replicate G forces, not the actual angle a real car would be at. Think about it, if you have a car that could pull a 1g turn you would need to be 90 degrees to the floor to fully simulate it, this looks like its can only do 45 degrees tops so even this is not even fully realistic. It would probably help alot if the lights were off so you werent distracted by the peripheral vision of the rest of the room, though Im sure they needed to keep them on so we could see the video.
