Both drivers were impressed with the GS-1 G-Seat. Lazier, after almost
an hour in the simulator, commented that the feedback from the seat is
very realistic. Hamilton said that the Ultraforce GS-1 combined with
rFactor and a triple-monitor display delivered the best racing
simulator experience he had ever had.

The image http://www.ultraforcesim.com/new_files/image004.jpg looks
somewhat utilitarian. I guess the key is once at in the seat in a
reasonable racing position all you see is the screen and feel the motion.
The images with Buddy and Davey look pretty cool. A major coup getting
those drivers on board!

Nice, looks like a great setup. When I win the lottery I'll place
an order. ;)
Cheers,
Rod.
The $3,600 price will include a racing***pit that the GS-1 seat will
be mounted in. The Ultraforce simulator will be a bargain considering
the driving experience it provides.

I have an ivibe TFS2 system. It's a very neat piece of hardware. For
$275 it can't be beat. I'd suggest it to anyone because it does
increase the immersion level.
But...
It's not in the same category as the GS-1. The seat pads on the GS-1
don't just vibrate, They don't "vibrate" at all really. They literally
move in response to the calculated lateral, longitudinal, and vertical
accelerations in a simulation.
The GS-1 works off the same basic principle as a motion platform in
terms of subjecting the driver's body to real force, and gives a
comparable experience to a motion platform. But, where the motion
platform relies on the force of gravity to create the "seat of the
pants" feel for the driver, the GS-1 creates those sensations directly
by moving the pads in the proper direction. So you really feel your
body weight transfer in a corner. You feel the sensation that your
body gets lighter in the seat as you go over the crest of a hill. You
feel the force in your back when you step on the throttle.
Some big names in Sim-Racing have already tried this seat, and are
extremely impressed! More news on that to come. In addition to that,
two professional Indycar drivers, including an Indy 500 Winner, have
been impressed with the realism of the experience.
You might have to try it yourself to become a believer, but I gaurantee
that once you try it you will believe! :)

Where would we try this out? When will the actual product be ready for
