Jimmie's Review
"I wanted the most realistic simulator so I gave Cool Performance a ring. They hooked me up! My only criteria was the feeling, physics of the car model had to be on point. I need to do some serious training for whatever lies ahead. The Formula Pro is easy to use, simple but incredible. I'm not tech savvy so simplicity is a big hitter."
