    Pretty F1 2DOF sim, but the movement seems pretty restrained.

    Looks ok, I think you will find the motion is settled to suit mostly non motion sim users.
    go to any commercial place and you get motion, but not as nasty as you may set it.
    Ive paid to play on 2 dboxers and one Simx. Motion is set for non sim users to get the experience as opposed to my units which can be set to brutal......

    Guessing you are right @bsft, the dude in this promo video spends more time off the track than on it!

    Can't understand why they would use such a poor driver in one of their own promo videos, there are plenty of examples of excellent drivers using the EvoTek Sym.

    comments translated are.
    Here we are guys at the Formula 1 simulator in the mall Shopville the Crane, in this video I was participating in the contest for the PolePostionTour.com where unfortunately I piazzerò between the 5th and 6th place, shame because I was hoping to finish in the top 3, but does nothing, it is still a unique experience and unforgettable :)

    forgot....
    the fact that a hand held camera is being used doesnt help seeing the motion on both videos. Again it looks good and would give the immersion factor, especially on second video.
    By the way AC is a hell of a hard game to handle.
    Massive movement is not needed for immersion despite what others see in promo videos of commercial builds. I have had people play on a $20,000 sim , then jump on my $800 and they found the motion and immersion better. because of a good profile.
    Cheers, Dave.

    P.S , missed something else, not sure what track the first vid is on, might be nubergring, which is most games is fairly smooth most of the time, but the second looks like Monza, which in that game is a teeth rattler

    It seems they are mainly used for public demos. Even so you would think in their company video they would use a professional for the driving demo, to compliment the whole hand crafted profession build slides.
