From the article:
This cool-looking contraption may seem like a Formula 1 car with some monitors on top of it, but it’s actually a full-size, high-end F1 Style Show car that sports some serious simulation equipment – or so that’s what its sellers says.
I have such 3 screen setup in my room and it was less than 2k. I don't have the formula car but who would want that in his house. You could get a real single seater for so much money .
I love gaming as well as motorsport and I just cant get my head around why anyone would spend more on a simulator than it costs to buy a car and actually go racing.
I do go racing and have tried a couple of high spec simulators and its no comparison at all. What makes me laugh about that picture is that they have the "full F1 car" but he's not even wearing a helmet!

What a waste of money. You can buy simulators with g-force simulation for less. They should at least put some screens behind the thing. That way you'll actually be seeing parts of it in the mirrors while gaming. As it is on the picture, you won't be seeing much of the car, except wile getting in and out of it.
