Anyone heard of RealRace? It's a "model" race car simulator (you know, off
road buggies, monster trucks, and street race cars). I just recently saw it
at Tower Hobbies. I think it is the offspring of another simulotor,
RealFlight. I've had RealFlight for about 2 years now and it is the most
realistic model airplane simulator I've ever seen. I'm trying to get some
more information on RealRace. If anyone has heard of it or has any
information about it, please let me know.
You can read a little about it at http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Thanks,
Jeff

That pistol grip controller looks like it would be fun to try with other
sims.

InterAct used to have one... It even "rumbles"!
(Or at least I thought it was Interact...)

Yeah, I remember the UltraRacer PC (the first, and the best - the second,
FFB version was poorly made and poorly supported, unfortunately). I
actually played GPL exclusively with it, and was able to put in good times
and good races.

Just a few weeks ago, on a whim, I searched eBay for one. Get this: $50
after a few *dozen* bids! Seems it's something that was great for the
people who knew of it, and is very sought-after now. I remember when
Wal-Mart had them for $10. I bought three, just because I knew I'd need
'em. I just know I still have one, unopened,*** around my things at my
parents' house....

Mine crapped out after about half a year of GPLing. I really liked it,
although it gave me massive trigger-finger cramps. I opened it once to fix
the pots, and it was okay for a while, but then it completely died. It was
fun while it lasted.

Or you could pick up a VRC unit. This lets you use your RC controller for
video games:
