wow.
But 2.2K Euro is still quite a bit of money ( that 3dof 3 monitor would be the one I'd go for)
And the shipping would likely be another few hundred.   Maybe another time :)

I noted it had an "Emergency off" button, but I hope it has a "when I get thrown off the seat" disconnect switch, I can only imagine myself trying to get to the 'off' button while it my car is spinning out of control at the end of a race :) or even my "offs" or falling through a  "hole in the track!"

Instructions on how to build the second unit, actually most bits are quite cheap.

Would hate to see a warp in the RacingCUBE - the wheels would end up sending you next door!!!
