SimCraft APEX sc830 Racing Simulator

Have you ever wanted to experience the thrill of driving a racecar at 200 MPH, but you don't have a $1,000,000 racing budget? Take the APEX SC830 for a spin for a real sensation of speed. This gadget is not a cheap toy, though, at $25,000. Perhaps your best chance in taking one of these for a spin is at your local sports bar.

The APEX sc830 is the most realistic auto racing simulator on the market. Other simulators may have some motion, but none will have the triple axis movement comparable to the SimCraft APEX sc830. This model has movement in 3 directions, including 40 degrees of yaw, 25 degrees of pitch, and 40 degrees of roll. You better buckle up when you take this thing for a spin, or you may just fall out.

Professional racecar drivers use the APEX sc830 to hone their skills. It is so realistic that you can get a feel for the racetrack without even leaving the garage area. Indy driver Sarah Fisher used the SimCraft APEX sc830 to prepare for the Indy 500.

The construction of the frame is just like that of a real racecar. The surrounding safety cage is constructed of standard roll cage tubing. The seat is an actual racecar safety seat. Grip the standard racing wheel.

The SimCraft software utilizes physics-based integration to provide a real-time motion thrill experience. The triple screen with a wrap-around view gives you the sensation of actually being on the racetrack. When you crash, the computer will signal the mechanics of the chassis to provide feedback to the driver. You will feel like you hit the wall or the car in front of you although it won't hurt nearly as much as the real thing and the repair bill will be a lot cheaper.

The feeling is so real you will be wishing you were wearing a helmet and a fire suit. The secret to this new technology is that the motion has zero latency. When you turn the wheel, the car turns and rolls immediately. When you crash, the jarring action is instantaneous. When you accelerate, you feel the sensation of speed immediately. When you brake hard, you better brace yourself.

The technology was originally developed for aircraft simulators by a retired electrical engineer. The system worked so well that it was quickly adapted to motor sports simulation. Hold onto your hat; you will think this is the real deal.
