Simulator Detail
 |
Our stockcar racing simulator is built from a modified,
scale race car capable of 200+ miles per hour. The driver is surrounded
by a full steel roll cage and sheet metal interior.
The body is proportionate to a full size NASCAR® stock car
and 2/3 scale for ease of transport and space conservation.
The force-feedback steering gives the driver a real sense of g-force,
and tire slip. This is not the watered down stuff found in other
racing centers, arcades, or at home – your arms may experience
fatigue.
Another key sensation in racing is vibration, and we've got it.
We have a real, dynamic mechanical vibration, not a little sub-woofer
under the seat. |
The stockcar-racing simulator has authentic construction and styling.
It features a steel frame and full roll cage with a fiberglass body. The
stockcar is also equipped with Goodyear racing slick tires and Basset
wheels. The interior is equipped with sheet metal panels. You sit on a
Butlerbuilt racing seat, then in front of the seat is a high force feedback
steering wheel and the shifter is a B&M Pro Ratchet.
On the panels are working gauges: oil pressure, speedo, tach and a shift
light. Then on the dash panel is where you find our engines start button,
aux 1-3, temperature light and gearbox select. The racing simulator has
a THX 400 watt, 4-Channel surround sound system.

For the ultimate in seat of the pants sensation,
nothing beats a six DOF(degree of freedom) motion platform.
Six DOF motion platforms are an aerospace standard used in multi-million
dollar fighter aircraft simulators.
Not only can you achieve six distinct types of motion, but when
they are combined simultaneously, just about any desired effect
can be had.
One of the most satisfying aspects of a 6-DOF motion platform is
the absence of any perceivable pivot point. |
The motion platform lets you feel what the car is
doing.
When you lose traction at the rear wheels and the back end begins
to comes around, you'll feel it. Without motion, by the time your
eyes tell you the back ends coming out, it's usually too late.
Motion also gives you a good indication of how smoothly you're
driving, you can feel the even the most subtle weight transfers
from left to right, or front to back--something that's almost impossible
to see. |
 |
Motion gives drivers a nice incentive to stay out of the wall! Our software
motion control focuses on realistic driving cues instead of the over emphasized
ques found in other simulators and arcade games.
Hydraulically actuated, these units have ample power to excite their
half-ton payload. Each motion platform is constructed of powder coated,
welded steel.
All electronics are fully enclosed and cooled. A full compliment of safety
systems, both hardware and software, are in place to ensure passenger
well being.
