The power of 3 motors launches you right into the driving seat and lets
you feel the gravel and mud on the street. Whatever you do to your car it
will give it back to you through the wheel. "Force Shock" is more than Force
Effects. It is Force Effects plus vibrations effects combined to give the
most realistic feedback to the driver possible. The Force motor makes the
wheel turn if you hit something and the two vibration motors will shake the
wheel. Try it out with our interactive Flash demonstration at
