Ye Yifei Review
" Steering system, pedals system and seating is identical to my FIA F3 car! "
Cool Performance has setup my simulator to replicate my FIA F3 car. It couldn't be any closer and you have the ability to adjust and tune the setup of the car so its correct for every track. Delivery of the simulator was ahead of time. Can't fault the Cool Performance team!
