He said that the outer two screens aren't quite right, but that iRacing was going to fix that in a future build. Pretty cool and very immersive.

I like the Android (available for iPhone, too) phone running iRaceDash, an application available to read telemetry information and lap timing, including splits, from iRacing over a WiFi network. You can find it here: http://www.iracedash.com/

Gloves are a nice touch.

I've been relegated to a 17" laptop screen since the TV I was using went kapoot. Feeling a little inadequate compared to the 5 screen setup.

All good though, I got a win in the Mustang's last night so I"m still doing OK.

Is it a full motion set up or is the camera just moving?

Camera is on his head, perhaps?

Not a motion platform (from another thread citing this video).

I was going to build a three screen setup in January. I think I'll add a couple more.

...............And new gloves.

Nice. But at some point, isn't a real race car cheaper? ;-)

This has inspired me to take a stab at iRacing. One screen setup to start.

Great! It's really good. Learning curve is steep, but it's a great tool.

Besides, Summit is always dry...

Mustang's are where it's at in iRacing if you ask me. I have the most fun in that series over everything else

that's really cool. I only use a one screen set up thinking I could really benefit from an upgrade to 3 screens. I should just sell my car and put together something like that.
