The coolest racing simulator ever
The country that gave us pizza, Ferrari and the Corleone family is looking hot to take the crown for the coolest racing simulator yet created. Designed for the home, the Gran Turismo Cockpit (GTC) from Italian firm Movetech takes racing enthusiasm to a fanatical level. Throw away those steering wheels and wee, rubber pedals and strap yourself into this simulator for PS2 and PC driving games – especially Gran Turismo 4 and GTR. The roll-cage supports a fully adjustable, leather covered racing ‘bucket’ seat and realistic, adjustable driving pedals with a very considerate footrest for your left foot. Obviously, you’d think such customised gaming technology would come with a staggering price tag but you’d be wrong – for a change. How does £240 sound? And did we mention that it can be turned into a normal office chair and computer table when not being used to win the World Rally Championship? Outstanding. See some more photos here.

The only worry i have is although this will give hours of fun, how good is it for your back?
I recently purchased a Ergonomic Office Chair, and the benefits have been amazing.
It just seems a shame that so much time will be spent in this or similar seats and no consideration is given to the back.

When driving it, you are over 10 feet in the air! This must be the coolest racing simulator.
