Driving a Formula One at Monaco

[machiningfool]

I thought that some of you might want to see just how advanced the simulator world has come for computers. I am seventy and a couple of years back a friend of mine introduced me to the PlayStation 3 simulator, GT-5 and GT-6. You start out like I did, not knowing how to race, and they take you through a tutorial of a racing school, and at the end, if you want, you can drive a formula car. Your wives might not like this either because this is addicting, oh, but so much fun, a real E ticket ride. You can be the judge, but to me this is the closest thing that I could experience to driving a formula car. I made what is called a ghetto rig, a car cockpit made of 2x4's and plywood. I mounted an 88 Corvette seat with 6 way seat adjustments with a G-27 steering wheel with paddle shifters, and I race on a 55 inch HD screen, and then off to the races. Here is a video of the race at Monaco, called in the game, Cote De Azure. Once your drive one of these, usually that is all you want to drive.
