DIY driving station at its best

(Credit: Kotaku )

A hard-core racing simulation fan from Japan has created this very rudimentary (yet somewhat cool) DIY driving station out of PVC pipes, a wooden plank, and cable ties. While it doesn't look as polished as its video game arcade equivalent, this skeletal concoction is actually very functional, complete with a steering wheel and foot pedal mounts, plus folding capability for easy storage.

One important point we'd like to highlight: this driving station has nothing to do with Gran Turismo (which is a PlayStation exclusive) as claimed by game portal Kotaku, since the pictured steering wheel is manufactured by Microsoft and designed for its Xbox 360.

Yep very cool...My only problem would be if I built one and used racing games it would be like getting hooked on crack..

Looks cool, and I want one! Now if only the Microsoft steering wheel had a clutch and 6-speed shifter... and was designed better. :(

Oh well, what can you expect for $99?

Too bad the site is in Chinese since I'd make one myself as I have no reliable set up myself for GT4 or 5 prologue and really suck with the dual shock controller. Any body have something similar in English? or even Spanish or French perhaps?
