Car realness

Rather than sitting in a fake car, you sit in the shells of real cars.

Sim city

There are three sims on offer: Rally, Endurance (LMP1, etc.) and Formula One.

Action-packed

When you're strapped into your car, you sit in front of three screens that give you a wide-screen view of the action.

Step it up

You're also raised up by some pretty complex hydraulics.

Side to side

Those hydraulics give the car some violent and realistic movement for as much immersion as possible.

Like a video game

Combine the movement with the screens and you have yourself something to best the likes of Gran Turismo and Forza with ease.

A little too violent?

However, some people don't get on with the setup.

Fair warning

We were warned before we went in that there's a chance it could make you a little bit ill.

Fun times!

That didn't happen to us, though. We had a blast.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
