Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies. That video on the website is *NOT* our new
NASCAR motion simulator. If you read closely, that was just a
prototype to see if I could extract the data from an off-the-shelf
game ("NASCAR Heat"). Our *NEW* motion simulator will use a real
racing***pit (Baby Grand) and have much more realistic motion and
we'll probably use NR2003. But thanks for the feedback.
