To find out how the best driving simulation compares to real racing, we went hands on with CXC’s Motion Pro II unit at the company’s headquarters. You read that correctly: some of the world’s finest racing teams and drivers use CXC Simulators to maintain and sharpen their skills. In the words of CXC founder Chris Considine, “Comparing a force feedback wheel and pedal set, or really any other off-the-shelf simulator kit, to a CXC system is like comparing a Ford to a Ferrari.” Mass-production systems meet the minimum viable requirements of gamers, but a bespoke setup from CXC is built for the demands of real racing drivers – CXC’s core clientele. At CXC Simulations in El Segundo, California, a racing simulator is an intricate combination of motion, vibration, audio, and software systems to recreate genuine racing experiences. There’s another way to describe a racing simulator. Who cares - it’s a game it’s also nothing like a CXC Simulation. You probably have a good time flinging a production sports car around a famous racetrack, chuckling when you make a mistake and plow into a wall at 120 miles per hour. If you call yourself a surface dweller, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the term “racing simulator.” In fact, you may have even tried one for yourself – perhaps a friend has a Logitech G-Force wheel and a copy of Project CARS hooked up to his Xbox. Now that I’ve sufficiently crushed your racing aspirations, may I suggest a different strategy? If you’re a novice, there’s a chance you’ll bin the car at some point how does $5-10K in repairs sound? Oh, and if you want to drive something with more than 100 horsepower, like, for example, a Porsche Cayman GT4, prepare to shell out $190 grand for a used model and $400-500K per IMSA GT3 race season. You’ll also need a truck and trailer to haul your race car to and from each event. Consumables like brakes and tires can total thousands of dollars over the course of a racing season. Unfortunately, racing isn’t a one-time expense. “Sure,” you think, “I can’t buy a Lamborghini to race in Super Trofeo, but I can afford a $15,000 Spec Miata.” For those of us with oil pumping through our veins, the dream of owning a race car is sovereign. If anything, our desire for the latest and greatest gadgets only intensifies with age.Īt a certain point, the adult version of our self decides to indulge - to reward years of hard work with a contemporary treat.
As we mature, the tantrums stop (for the most part), but our fascination with toys never seems to go away. We beg, whine, and cry until our parents either punish us or give in to our demands. As kids, our obsession with toys is socially acceptable behavior.
