Be prepared to see virtual Ultimas in other forthcoming titles.

Can't wait! :)

Whoes car is that?. Also how do you get smoking wheels and polished exhausts at the same time

[tuxman]

bet he did not catch the slide!!!

[pb3]

Well at least they picked the best colour!

[davefiddes]

Cool. But will the game have any decent Ultimas, you know, the ones with roofs!

[andygtt]

I suspect its modeled from the factory demo car as it has the diagonal in the roll hoop which was dropped in production cars.

[craig-ultima]

Wow... how cool is this. I notice the angle on the dash display is a bit off. I'd be curious to see how really good drivers compare it to tehreal thing.

A good simulator would be... ummm... good for me

and i just got a ps2 for a pressi, any idear as to weather the game will be on that platform as well?

Chris in your spare moments!, can you rig one of these systems so we can jack-up cars and run input to game from the car. Big screen and surround system in garage, connect by internet and we could run races from the canam's all winter without leaving the garage

I think stig would win based on the size of your garage and the levels of CO poisoning!

What a great idea! roll-pitch-yaw hydraulic lifters under each wheel. Awesome! I am about three weeks away from putting the Ultima away, probably until March or April due to the snow here .

Well, ironically, I do happen to have a pair of linked PS2s, complete with race seats and force feedback wheels, with 37" plasma screens in storage ready to be set up in the workshop!



Head 2 Head Can-Am racing is therfore a cert!

Well done Chris. That's what I call quality babysitting

SSSSHHHHHHhhhhh - Hels will overhear

They're not setup at the mo. otherwise I expect I'd have a bit more interrogation when I tell her I 'have' to go to the workshop to work on the car

SWEET!!! Now I can testdrive these before building one! And the xbox lets you choose an Orange car! Yes!!!! I will keep my eyes open for these games..... Now how will I keep the wife from finding out.........

Stig, I don't know how you have all that gaming equipment 'hidden'. I would be so busted! Best of luck! Sounds like a sweet set-up.
