For most seasoned Sim-Racers the proper equipment includes a typical steering wheel and pedal set. A steering wheel and pedals simply captivate the act of driving more than a joystick or game-pad. The next general progression of hardware acquisition is a space frame or pod to place the desktop driver in a more immersing position. This addition to your racing simulation paraphernalia corrects two nagging problems. The first being that you no longer have to chase your pedals around under your desk and the second is that you can sit in a much more comfortable and acceptable driving position. A product that has recently been developed for the market is the GameRacer space frame. Although the GameRacer is more specific for the PS2 crowd, there is absolutely no reason that the GameRacer can�t be used in front of a PC monitor.

The unit that I will be reviewing is the GameRacer Pro, which is the high-end model. The GameRacer Club and Sport offer the same frame but with a less expensive choice of seats. All models include an adjustable pedal and steering wheel mount that allow the space frame to fit anyone from age 6 to 60. The pedal mount possesses a myriad of positional choices and angles to allow for different brands of pedals and at the same time provide comfort for the driver. The steering wheel mount also allows for many differing positions. If you like your wheel sitting at a 90-degree angle and right in your chest, the wheel mount can give you what you want. If your preference is more toward the �school bus� angle or a more upright angle like a Sprint Car, that is available as well. Of the other pods or space frame designs that I�ve tried, the wheel is usually set at one angle and that�s the only option. Only a few that I�ve tried have ever allowed me to get up as close to the wheel as I desire. With the GameRacer Pro I was able to put the wheel where I like it as opposed to where the designer �thought� it should be.
