Ford’s car racing simulation demo at the 2015 International CES aims to deliver a realistic driving experience for people who would never get in a real race car. I’m betting it would make me sick, so I just watched other people drive it.

The demo has a racing cockpit with a steering wheel, brakes, and gas pedal. You see the action unfold ahead of you on three big-screen monitors. But the whole simulator is hooked to a giant motion simulation rig, the kind that are built for professional engineering simulations.
