These are too low-end. The first simulator I used that you could actually feel the car correctly was ~ 100k euros...

Yet properly tuned in 2020 it can get incredibly good for the money paid.

The last 5% will cost 95% of the money, as with anything.

  I've driven fairly high end rigs (higher than the linked one) and found them very difficult to drive compared to the actual car and actual track. If you want to play around or aren't trying to learn a competitive edge, I'm sure these are great though.

    Lucky you:) Yes the feeling and even smell of the race track, that's beyond emulation. Had a GSXR600 a long time ago, after a CBR250RR. went to the track a number of times.. Scraping my knee on Philip Island doing 180km/h, starting to have the rear slide out and catching it by only gently rolling off (#1) the throttle ... the sheer thrill of the realisation that I mastered my fear of death... Impossible to put into words, and definitely impossible simulate. Yet, this is all we have for the time being. A number of high profile drivers were already using the laser scanned tracks and iRacing to practice their race craft prior to races. They've spent a lot of time customising their rigs and settings to their exact preferences, I'm sure this also becomes a factor. VR is also getting better, although FOV is a limiting factor we're only just starting to improve on. (I've only tried Lenovo Explorer, immersion is amazing but struggle to see the other guys.) With the increased attention, this is a huge opportunity for growth in the sector. One thing is for sure: ESports will never be the same. #1) the more natural untrained instinct to chop it would have caused a high side which at that speed would very likely have killed me
