Force Dynamics 301 Driving Simulation System
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 12:30PM - By Mike Payne
If you try to play Gran Turismo on your sofa after playing it on this, you’re likely in for a tough bout of depression. The Force Dynamics 301 Driving Simulation System is a wildly motive racing sim cockpit that mirrors your in-game movement with related movements externally. We’ve seen this on the web a few times, but wanted to be sure you haven’t missed it. You’ve truly got to see it to believe it, so check out this youtube vid of the 301 in action. (And for a laugh, Jalopnik featured a guy playing Mario Kart on this baby back in April. This guy sucks at Mario Kart, too.)
Buy: ~$15,000

The ‘guy playing mario kart’ is me, and I’m the president of Force Dynamics. The video was shot during a 2am session after a bunch of coding, and that machine had to ship out the next day.
So I beg forgiveness for the lousy driving.

Hi David,
“So I beg forgiveness for the lousy driving.”
No need to, my friend– anyone producing such a brilliant, immersive driving system need not be a Mario Kart pro. Your coolness is unparalleled in our eyes!
