A truck driver has come up with an ingenious way to kill time on the road by replacing the passenger seat in his cab with a professional-grade racing simulator worth about $6,000.
A Reddit user named ZanaZamora posted this unique video. It can be seen that a driver who was stuck in the road sat directly in the passenger seat and started racing on the simulator. He said the road closures due to the accident gave him some free time to play games.
The entire system includes a force feedback steering wheel base, pedals, special seats and metal brackets, which alone are worth $1,600. In addition, the driver also installed aviation simulation equipment worth about $1,100, as well as a gaming computer equipped with a 14th generation Intel Core i9 processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card.
According to this driver, this set is totally worth the money. During the long waits for parking and legally mandated breaks, he can train on the simulator, hone his virtual racing driving skills, and relax at the same time.
