I thought shelling out for a steering wheel and pedals would make me a racing god but I was wrong. In the face of the VRX MACH 4 racing simulator, I feel like someone who’s shown up to an F1 race in a child’s, yellow plastic pedal car with ‘go faster’ stripes on the side.
Billed as the world’s most advanced racing and entertainment simulator, the VRX Mach 4 takes gaming a whole new level. It uses four Xbox 360s to power three Sharp Aquos 37-inch 1080p LCD screens - the fourth one powers a 7in LCD screen that acts as a rear-view mirror. Insane!
There’s too much detail here to write about so here’s the rundown of the full feature list:
