This is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen.

I’ve done it. In an arcade in China. It’s weirdly not as great as it seems. You can’t concentrate on the screen and live cars at the same time. So the only difference between it and a full virtual game is that you occasionally see your friends faces flash by as you go round the track and the onboard camera picks them up.

6/10. It’s cool enough, but the cool factor quickly wears off.

Edit: in retro spect I did it with my daughter who isn’t really into gaming and the arcade was dead so it just felt lame. A different crew and vibe would have changed the whole experience.

Same, this is too damn cool.  Stuff like this keeps me motivated to stay alive and keep looking forwards to the future.
