SimCraft Corporation unveiled its series of racing simulators today at CES. The APEX SC830 and APEX SC320 are patent-pending,
military-grade simulators that bring the sense of touch to the home market. The
APEX SC830 is developed for the training of professional racers (and
ultra-competitive gamers) and offers three degrees of freedom (roll 40º / pitch
25º / yaw 40º). The APEX SC320 was designed for the hardcore gamer and offers
two degrees of freedom (roll 20º / pitch 20º). Two models of the APEX SC830 were on display.
To launch APEX into the consumer market, IndyCar
and Indy 500 driver and owner of her self-named racing team Sarah Fisher was on-hand at the SimCraft booth, racing tradeshow attendees in the simulators. Fisher is
the fastest female to ever qualify for the Indianapolis 500 and became the first
woman in North American motorsports history to win the pole position for a
major-league, open-wheel race. For more information, please visit www.simcraft.com.
