Barry Scott Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 PTR - Pure Tech Racing Anyone come across or been to this? Wonder how good a simulator they really are for £35 for a 2 hours session?, or if they are just a big xbox type computer game really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hmm, I've never yet been in any kind of simulator that left me thinking 'wow', and I guess that's the gamble, £35 would buy you a decent playstation game, and this could be an expensive mistake if you've paid for 2 hours and are bored after 20 mins!

Snail Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Theres a center like this in Chandlers Ford that i've been to a couple of times. The one i used, was basically on a PC game from a couple of years ago. After the first 5 minutes of being underwhelmed by the graphics and sound, you really do start to enjoy the experience. I play *lots* of driving games on the xbox, and its a completely different experience. The simulator is leagues ahead of console games, and has spent years being tweaked to be more and more realisitic. You'll be very supprised how time flys, and how mentally challenging it is. You really do get competitive, you forget its a game. I say go for it, i've certainly been to my local place about 4 times, including a stint at 3am, during a 24hour race marathon.

Tipex Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Might be worth a trip up one day Barry? I can imagine I'll just get bored looking at graphics that aren't as good as the PS3, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth a try one day as it's only down the road from us really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
