I hope they have very deep pockets. Professional racing teams aren't that
numerous. The systems will have to be very expensive if they don't have a
large volume of customers.

I'm with you.. I still don't really have a sense if this is ever going
to be a mainstream product. I am thinking it will cost less then a
real racecar, but that is a pretty wide target.
Maybe it will still be the massively multi player racing sim that we
can all love.
