$50,000 Racing Simulator -- Thrustmaster T500RS (CES 2013)

2013-01-12
thanks to Ford for powering our CES coverage what's up guys Lew here in the next item I want to show you from the show floor at CES 2013 is this amazing racing simulator from Thrustmaster I know I would love to have one of these unfortunately something like this this exact setup is going to run you about 50 grand that's correct we've got a lot of zeros there but it is also very sophisticated there's a bunch of actuators built into the seat that will push and pull you in the direction that you would naturally be pushed and pulled into if you were driving an f1 car it's just like being in an f1 cockpit this dude here he's having a little bit of difficulty keeping this car on the road as you'll see here he actually ends up flipping it I didn't even know that was possible in the game so he takes his hands off and he gets the hell out of Las Vegas immediately after that because of the obvious embarrassment next on the wheel is AJ and he does a better job of course we've come to expect that from AJ in general and as you'll notice here he's got his hands wrapped around in f1 style steering wheel that steering wheel is actually available independent of this entire system if you're looking for something more affordable in the way of a racing simulator the wheel I believe is around 200 bucks but it is an attachment to the thrust master system so you could get set up for something around 500 bucks without the pedals and the actuators and all that I think you actually do get the pedals regardless I'm going to link some of the items I can find independently down in the description so you can go check out the pricing and different configurations that are available as you can see here there's independent speakers in this setup as well those are going to also add to the experience making you feel as though you are on the racetrack so overall this is probably as close as you can get to driving an f1 car without driving in f1 car so a pretty cool experience one of the cool experiences here at CES 2013 lots to see and do and I've got a lot more to show you guys so don't go anywhere CES coverage is not over yet I'm going to be going through a bunch of footage picking the best things and you guys can also give me your suggestions if there's something that you want to see because I think we have like 65 70 videos left to go through so if there's something you want to see I'll check the inventory and I'll get to that first so let me know in the comments down below anyway guys thanks as always for watching and we'll catch you on the next video thumbs up alright later guys sync is all about staying in touch all with simple voice commands you never have to worry about a phone call while driving with hands-free calling if your phone rings you can answer with the push of a button and you can make a call with the sound of your voice unbox therapy CES coverage is powered by Ford go further
