Software. After extensive testing, we selected GTR race simulation software for the VirtualGT Pro-PC. GTR provides highly detailed renderings of cars and tracks, with superior modeling of car behavior. These qualities work hand-in-hand with VirtualGT's electronic and physical effects to invoke a sense of realism and control never before achieved in a personal racing simulator.
Video. We offer a wide range of display
options including a 27" CRT display (PlayStation only),
a 37" plasma, a 42" and 50" HD plasma, and up to
an 82" projection system. Each option provides a super-realistic
view of car and track graphics. Turn markers and track-side details
make it easy to set up braking and turn-in points. After a few laps,
tunnel vision sets in, the real world disappears, and all you see
is track ahead. Other display options are available.
Steering Wheel. A custom force-feedback soft-grip steering
wheel is linked to the simulation software. You feel every apron
and undulation in the track. You sense steering forces associated
with understeer, oversteer, loss of traction, wheel-hop and more.
Pedals. Adjustable pedals provide smooth control of braking and acceleration. Pedals move fore and aft up to 9". Pedal angle is adjustable for comfortable operation.
Shifters. Precision paddle shifters are located on each
side of the wheel for fingertip access to the correct gear. The
most used controls are placed on the center of the wheel. An optional
Sequential Shifter is also available.
Seat. The custom MasterCraft racing seat supports your body in the correct racing attitude, ready to handle all the virtual G-force your mind conjures up. Yes, you will lean into the corners. A 4-point harness system is included.
Ergonomics. VirtualGT's pedals travel up to 9" fore and aft, as does the racing seat. The dashboard assembly moves up to 12" horizontally and 4-1/2" vertically. The steering wheel angle/height adjusts 4" vertically and the telescoping steering column adjusts 1-1/2" in and out. Click here to see demo.

Power. A robust, 9-channel, 500 Watt amplifier powers the audio and vibration systems. A forced-air cooling system with variable speed fan directs amplifier heat through a 3" stainless steel exhaust pipe.
Sound. Five Amplifier channels power four miniature 2-way
satellite speakers capable of extremely accurate sound reproduction
(120W total) plus an 8" carbon-fiber subwoofer (140W) in a
tuned, vented enclosure directly under the seat. Adding to the realism,
SRS® surround processing expands the sound track all around
you, creating a 3-dimensional bubble over your head. Hear the tires
alternately run over the aprons as you weave your way through a
chicane. Hear cars drive around you from both sides. Hear and feel
the engine right in the car with you.
Vibration. Four Amplifier channels power four vibration
transducers at 60 Watts per channel (240W total). These are strategically
located at four points of contact between car and driver... feet,
hands, buttocks and back. The 140 Watt subwoofer punches up the
motor sound, shift bumps and road noise and supplements the overall
vibration effect.
Chassis. Constructed of 1/2" (12mm) 9-ply Russian Birch,
VirtualGT's chassis is incredibly strong, light-weight and built
to last a lifetime. Chassis components are hand finished with ultra-durable
catalyzed urethane paint. Components are fastened into a rigid assembly
with 1/4-20 Allen drive socket head screws and flanged insert nuts.
These fasteners will not strip or pull out so you can repeatedly
tighten all fittings without reservation.
Modular construction. VirtualGT breaks down into two shippable
modules. Assembly takes about three hours. All assembly tools and
hardware are included, along with a detailed manual. VirtualGT fits
through a standard 26" door opening with body panels removed.
Built-in rubber dolly wheels make it easy to move.
