GameRacer Indoor Racing Simulator Now Available in North America
HOUSTON--Sept. 24, 2004--GameRacer(TM), the Indoor Racing Simulator that is hugely successful in Europe, is finally coming to North America.For a long time, the PC has been the forerunner of the Racing Simulator, but with the awesome graphics and processing power of the current generation of video game consoles, realistic racing games and simulations are attracting a huge following in many U.S. households. But where the PC gamer simply attaches a steering wheel to the desk and is ready to race, the console gamer has nothing but open space between them and the TV. That's where GameRacer(TM) comes in. With a racing seat mounted to a highly adjustable frame that enables you to connect a steering wheel and pedal set, GameRacer(TM) delivers a perfect driving position for the ultimate racing experience in the home.
Thousands of GameRacers(TM) have been sold throughout Europe, but are now being sold in the U.S. for the first time. "GameRacer(TM) has been very successful," said GameRacer(TM) designer, Ted Poole. This success is due to GameRacer's(TM) instant appeal. Poole explains, "You only have to try it once and you have to have one."
Andy James, head of Game Racing Simulations Inc., the U.S. distributor for GameRacer(TM), said, "I've grown up playing racing games on the PC and own one of the first force feedback wheels on the PC. I've shied away from console racing games because the controller just didn't seem natural. As soon as I sat in the GameRacer(TM) in front of a big screen TV equipped with a surround sound system, I was completely breathless. I knew that I had to bring GameRacer(TM) to the U.S." Andy is an avid kart racer and racing enthusiast. He is typical of the kind of person that buys a GameRacer(TM).
The GameRacer(TM) Indoor Racing Simulator comes in 3 versions. The build quality is amazing from the design and ergonomics to the fit and finish. The top of the line GameRacer(TM) PRO features a custom built race style seat in a stunning blue/black velour trim and black frame. The GameRacer(TM) Club and GameRacer(TM) Sport are built using high quality genuine kart seats. The wheel-plate and foot-plate that the wheel and pedal set attach to are designed to fit most leading brands and types. This means that GameRacer(TM) will still be usable even when the next round of consoles comes out next year.
