P/1042(1001) David & team have been busy since Christmas. Original-style and period-original dials believed from GT40P/1045 and steering wheel from GT40P/1027 pictured here. Note the single fuel gauge as GT40P/1001 was a "cross over" car, meaning it had two tanks interconnected, but only one...

David, the steering with force feedback, pedals and gearstick, are Logitec G25, bought used from EBay. The G27 has more programmable buttons, but is a bit more expensive. Again, a used projector (factory refurbished) and the rest is general computer bits & pieces, with a lot of woodwork...

Most people on here will be aware I am blind. However, with help of my wife Debbie and a friend, Chris, who set up the software (GTR2), I've built a car racing simulator. Originally based on a GTD40 shell, that proved too expensive to complete, so it's based on a Lotus Europa shell. We built...
