Found this quite interesting, thought some of you may want to read it..

"In Formula 1, there are essentially two types of interactive simulator (sometimes affectionately known as human-in-the-loop) - static and motion-based. A static simulator uses the monocoque tub of a Formula 1 car, which has been mounted to the floor in front of a large, spherical, rear-projected screen. The tub contains a CAN-bus interface, which allows steering wheel and dash electronics to inter-operate with their real world counterparts. Additionally, whilst the steering rack itself consists of motors that provide variable resistance and force feedback (enough to potentially injure an unsuspecting driver), the steering rates and mappings are themselves interchangeable with actual cars...
