Simracing with GS-Cobra Motion Simulator. Assetto Corsa Nordschleife BMW M3 E30.
Today in my GS-Cobra a lap of the legendary Nordschleife with a BMW M3. Bumpy track, dangerous corners but this car is handling great, I can feel the tyre giving up when lift off oversteering or trail braking.
With it's unique design, the GS-Cobra applies forces directly on your body, like a force feedback wheel applies forces to your hands. It makes you feel strong and sustained forces motion platforms can't reproduce, and it is much more intense and reactive than other GSeats (up to 40lbs/20kg of force, 20"/50cms per second, 250 force updates per second).
You can see on the back and top view how the forces impact the entire body. Torso, neck, arms, abs, thighs, how I feel the bumps, camber, crests, kerbs, grip, car rotation and rotation momentum, how I anticipate the forces with my muscle memory and react quickly when I feel the rear of the car is sliding. You can see how my weight is shifting from side to side when corners alternate.

It is quite challegning to record force feedback sensations on a video, because we can feel already a lot before the forces even cause any visible motion. I use strong settings here (not only here, always, I love it!) but of course you can use much lower force level if you prefer, the software is very adjustable.
This is a simple setup, to show how great a cockpit you can make with a wheel, a wheel support and a GS-Cobra.
