I *may* be able to get my racing fix through something like Project CARS. The "gotcha" is that some visual events, like driving at night with large snowflakes coming down at a moderate clip, has caused me to have some problems. Problems that aren't severe, but come on relatively quickly and can last for an hour or more.



I think I would be fine, but my doctors are on the fence about it. Before shelling out for Project CARS and a decent force feedback steering wheel/pedals system (+$200), I would really appreciate the opportunity to visit someone with the simulation and force feedback system, to give it a test drive and see if it will cause me problems or if I will be fine.



I would be happy to travel up to 2 hours one way to give this a try. I live in the Grand Rapids area. If I can provide additional information to help someone be comfortable with inviting me in, please ask and I will try to answer any questions you might have.



Thanks for listening!
