    i think the whole point of that is that it gives you the sensation of accelerating and braking as you go round the track, not tat you're doing wheelies in an F1 car. :p

    it looks pretty stupid (and rickety) sitting in some guys house, but it could be fun in a properly constructed arcade unit.

    You wouldn't feel that though if you where sitting in the seat. Your brain would be processing the images on the screen and using your memory of how your body reacts when accelerating and braking to compensate. By tilting the seat forward and back they are using the natural pull of gravity to simulate the g-forces you would be under in an actual moving vehicle.
