IIRC Serpent (of IC on-road fame) made a device which linked a
receiver to your joystick port.  Only thing I can think of is how long
your Tx cells will last playing GP2...

OTOH, I bought a cheap transmitter and hacked two pots into it -
worked nicely, although the pots needed regular maintenance,
and cost me under a tenner.  Superb for GP2, IndyCar2, GPL demo...

Now I've got to learn to drive GP2 with my new wheel and pedals!

I expect you are interested in PC simulator, but the
game Buggy on the Sony Playstation is exactly what
you want - even the standard analogue controller is like
a RC transmitter.

When in New Jersey on holiday recently (I live in the UK), I came across a
game on one of the piers (Morays pier?) which has all of the funfair type
rides.

They basically had a (real, physical) racing track, with a couple of RC cars
on it. These cars had small video cameras built into them.

You sat in an arcade style racing car seat, with pedals and steering wheel
and a VR helmet. The input from the video cameras was fed directly to the
helmet and the controls to the RC car.

Is this the first virtually real racing game? (pun intended)

PS - Unfortunately it was quite a cheap set up and so not very high def.
etc, but it was still pretty cool
