Gameracer Lands on US Soil

September 23, 2004 - 9:00pm

As the graphics and processing power of the current generation of video game consoles has increased, so has the need for updated hardware in order to achieve a more immersive experience for the gamer. For a long time, the PC has been the forerunner of the Racing Simulator but now realistic racing games and simulations are attracting a huge following in many US console households. But where the PC gamer simply attaches a steering wheel to the desk and is ready to race, the console gamer has nothing but open space between them and the TV. That's where GameRacer comes in. A racing seat mounted to a highly adjustable frame that enables you to connect a steering wheel and pedal set. GameRacer delivers a perfect driving position, enhancing the racing experience in the home.

Thousands of GameRacers have been sold throughout Europe, but is now being sold in the US for the first time.

Andy James, head of Game Racing Simulations Inc., the US distributor for GameRacer, said I've grown up playing racing games on the PC and own one of the first force feedback wheels on the PC. I've shied away from console racing games because the controller just didn't seem natural. As soon as I sat in the GameRacer in front of a big screen TV equipped with a surround sound system, I was completely breathless. I knew that I had to bring GameRacer to the US. Andy is an avid kart racer and racing enthusiast. He is typical of the kind of person that buys a GameRacer.

The GameRacer Indoor Racing Simulator comes in 3 versions. The top of the line GameRacer PRO features a custom built race style seat in a stunning blue/black velour trim and black frame. The GameRacer Club and GameRacer Sport are built using high quality genuine kart seats. The wheel-plate and foot-plate that the wheel and pedal set attach to are designed to fit most leading brands and types. This means that GameRacer will still be usable even when the next round of consoles come out next year.

holy shit, have you seen the price of one of the "premium models" - $499! Who the hell would spend that much on a seat and a couple of plates, thats right just the seat, no steering wheel or pedals.Want some advice if your actually still thinking of buying one of these, go down to a shop buy a real car seat and some wood and build one yourself

"But where the PC gamer simply attaches a steering wheel to the desk and is ready to race, the console gamer has nothing but open space between them and the TV."Projector and a white screen to display it on will fix this. This is a total waste of money when you could just upgrade your computer for less.
