    Default Gran Turismo Middle East winner takes delivery of his prize racing pod.

    From GTPLANET....


    Congratulations to Ahmad El Azmi of Kuwait, the fastest driver of more than 10,000 participants in the Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Middle East Challenge 2008. Preliminary rounds took place in nine regional cities across the Middle East in June and July 2008, with the finalists invited to Dubai for the Grand Final this past weekend. Ahmed walked away with a trip to Japan to test drive a Nissan GT-R, a “GT Racing Pod”, 40” Bravia LCD TV, and a new PS3. If you’re reading this, Ahmad, be sure to stop by our forums and say hello.

    There are some pretty impressive cockpits for driving simulators out there. You can spend hundreds on a commercial option, or put in time for your own DIY project, but few compare to what Ahmed Al Azmi got his hands on last week. Ahmed, winner of the GT5 Prologue Middle East Challenge, finally took delivery of his prize: an official “racing pod”. The impressive structure, used by Sony all over the world to show off Gran Turismo 5 Prologue at shows and launch parties, is made of steel, glass, and a Recaro racing seat. As if that wasn’t enough, Sony threw in a brand new 40” Bravia, PlayStation 3, and Logitech Driving Force GT. Finally, Ahmed went the extra mile, modifying his pod further with a Logitech G25 and inverted pedals (hinged from above, just like a real car), making this one of the most unique, best looking, and well-built racing cockpit we’ve ever seen.

    the only problem im facing now (after doin all that hard work ) i can't find a place to put the center speakers
    anyway i just want to say that i'm not really a pro photographer, not even close to a good one.
    but i hope you enjoy the pic
    peace

    I found video of that thing in action at the Leipzig Games Convention 2008.

    It actually moves around and is not just a static display.

    Im pretty sure those hoses in the front bumper are feeding the compressed air.
