Gentlemen, start your engines

Gentlemen, start your engines

While it's monumentally difficult to imagine Santa dropping an entire race car down the chimney, it's a little more palatable when it's a racing seat. The GP-200 is just that, but it's also a little bit more. It wires into a computer to bring the gaming experience to life (motion-wise).

A generous pocket is required.
