The Pro Race Trainer looks a little overpowered for most racing game fans. The aluminum chassis is lightweight at 75kg, sports a PC backbone (no word on specs) and seems to be designed to prepare people for real racing rather than merely satisfying a Gran Turismo jones.

When I look at the Pro RaceTrainer, I cannot help but think that it looks like something that most people with a little bit of technical knowhow could manage. The key is the software more than the equipment. This is professional simulation software and that costs real money. There is a 21″ TFT screen, 5.1 channel sound, a racing seat, some pedals and a steering wheel.

For the price, which is a touch under $20,000, I would expect to see something that has a little more in the looks department, but this thing would most likely rock. If you consider the price of a real race car, twenty large is something of a bargain.
