I like the Ford GT. https://traxxas.com/products/landing/ford-gt/
Know what I'm thinking could be the ultimate in merging videogames, virtual reality and cars......
Put a wide angle camera in the windshield, relay it to a large screen monitor or virtual reality goggles, and set up a steering wheel & pedal station so you can "drive it".
How cool could that be? Instead of just a video game, or just model car racing or just virtual reality.... this would be all 3 combined.
And exponentially cheaper and safer than racing real cars. You could drive a little more crazy or even "bumping" cars in the turns, etc... and it wouldn't cost relatively much in damage.
Your not far off.. This is sort of being done. Ford has 1 that is being used by Joey Hand of the Ford Gannasi racing team to prepare for LeMans for a repeat of last year. He doesn't know the track so he is using their simulator and says it's almost like being in the car real time.
