that set up will enough to likely buy a new kart.....

[RocK]

no lah. new kart cost S$5~6k
you can build the rig from S$4-5k. depends how big the TV you choose.
so almost buy a new kart lah..

Those rigs looks cheap.. Xbox for racing games? The wheel and pedals don't look very good either.

For proper pedals and wheels you want at least something like these:




Only a bit above 1300 USD.

Damn... With that kind of money, i'll rather buy some new axles or new hubs or something that i can actually race for real.

What in the end is the difference between "racing for real" and racing online though? I wonder if racing simulators have increased participation in real-life motorsports or if it has actually decreased it? Kids that watch F1 15 years ago used to think "wah that's cool how can I do that" .. and then found out they can get a kart and will do anything to get a kart. Now the same thing happens except they found out they can race on their computer for very little $$. It might increase it because they then get even more interested and end up getting a kart.. or it might have decreased it because they get their racing fix from the online world and don't go out of their way to get a kart.

I don't know what it is about online league races but I really get into the race and also get a bit nervous I guess because I did a 2-hour league race the other day and by the end of it I was sweating as if I had gone for a jog around the club. If I just do normal hotlapping for ages I hardly sweat at all.
