Anybody have one? Any comments appreciated.
Seems like $500 for something I have to assemble is pretty hefty. Of course,
that's with the seat (I would trust sitting on WOOD would suck after about
31 milliseconds) and their subwoofer plinth.
Every man should have a plinth, I figure.
Whatever the hell a plinth is.
Just like your thoughts and opinions.

I have been very pleased with the end result, and informed the RaceBase
folks of this fact, and they have posted pictures of my sim on their site. I
can assure you, however, I received NOTHING for this.
Here are more shots of the assembly and final results:

I would recommend the RaceBase product to anybody looking for a fold-able
yet sturdy race seat. I use it with both my PS2 and PC.

Microsim Racebase recently founded their own simracing team: Team
Racebase. This team will participate in the professional Formula
Simracing league (http://www.racesimcentral.net/) and also on Rally
Trophy Relay (http://www.racesimcentral.net/) In the future the plan is to
expand to other simracing leagues in different classes as well.
The official team website will open tomorrow at
http://www.racesimcentral.net/
where you can order the Microsim Racebase but also team merchandise in
the near future. I'm one of the Team Managers of this team and will
also get a brand new Microsim Racebase, I don't have it yet so I can't
say anything about it yet... it's their latest model the MkIII that
will be released this month (not on their website yet) so I'm very
e***d about it to try out. When it's here I can post pictures and
reports about it online.

Dimitry Gerards

I was gonna ask about the cat too. So far, I'm voting for Skid, Drift, Crash
or something else race related.

Steering wheel and pedals are excluded of course... and the final
model might be a little different from the picture.
it should be released soon, so you might want to wait for the new
model..
