Sideways Driving Club: Car-free driving

Hop into Sideways Driving Club's simulator race cars, which come complete with uncomfortable bucket seat, steering wheel with gear change flippers and a brake pedal with the feel of a real progressive brake. It's as real as real racung comes without the need for a helmet and insurance.

The driving position is like a Formula 1 racing car cockpit – the heels are just slightly elevated above the seat. Once you're seated, there are dozens of circuits to practice on, from regular F1 circuits to scenic circuits around Europe and the US.

The graphics are amazing, but the best part is the playback of your drive from various angles -- head-on, from the rear, from the side, on the tires. 

Sideways Driving Club's simulated views in the rearview and side-view mirrors are also amazingly accurate -- so much so you’ll see smoke in your rear view when you brake hard.
