I was actually able to play that back in March. It is one of the best race setups you will ever be in. Not only is the 4 screen setup sweet, the audio and subwoofers they have...it just makes it amazing.

There is another guy who has a 3 screen setup but he doesn't work for Forza or MSFT. He's just an avid racer with a serious system. There is an interview and some pics <here>

PUBLISH THE SPECS!!!!!

for the love of Pete, tell us at least a clue about how to build that MAGNIFICENT rig!!!

He mentioned Ferrari 335 Challenge. I have spent "days in the cage." there, it is one of the most beautiful (if not exactly accurate) simulators ever. My wife and I used to go to Las Vegas -- she would park in the casinos and I would go to GameWorks and spend 4 to 8 hours at Suzuka in the F335 challenge prison :)

That is seriously awesome. I want one of those rearview monitors - the single screen option is only available in bumbercamera mode, and that is kind of lame. I'm more likely to adopt Larry's decision and utilize multiple monitors in flight simulator. I've always been more of a pilot than a driver.

Where was this filmed anyway?
