Now all of us gamers want to experience the real deal when it comes to playing games, especially when it comes to racing games where we want to feel like we are actually inside a car, you know the real sensation and feel.
Well we have the best racing car seat ever known to man/woman called the D-Box GP200 which will set you back a whopping £13,500 but it is bloody worth it.

The D-Box GP200 will give you the ultimate driving experience thanks to the three motion actuators that work like shock absorbers that react to movement in the game, so when you kick down the accelerator hard you will be thrown back in your seat hard like the real thing, hit the brake pedal hard and you will thrust forward hard, when changing gears you will feel each motion as the gears are changing up and down.
Ok some people will say it is stupid seeing as you could buy a real car for the price of this gaming accessory, but hey you cannot kill yourself if you crash whilst sitting in a D-Box GP200 racing chair, whereas you would in a real car.

The steering wheel fitting on the D-Box GP200 is provided by Logitech and the bucket seat is out of a real racing car, the whole machine measures 29 x 56 x 48 inches. It is highly portable of which stands on 3 electronic shock absorbers, plus it can be hooked up to a PC via two USB plugs.
The D-Box GP200 comes with two games which are called Microsoft’s Flight Simulator and rFactor, oh just so you know, if you are considering buying one we must tell you that the manufacturers reckon you should buy 3 monitors to really experience the whole feel.
