This is one beast of a machine that's been giving us trouble for some time now. It was in horrific state when we got it, and has been on and off our to do list for over a year now. I took the internals from the two partly functional upright cabs and installed the missing monitors, boards etc. into this cabinet. The game sort of worked, gave a picture on both screens, but the force feedbacks were very much off. The right hand side was missing the V.R. wheel position potentiometer and the left side was misaligned. 
31st of July : Both controls now work and feedback is correctly adjusted on both sides! 

We made new stickers for car numbers 1 and 2 (used to be 3 and 4). You can download them here if you need them:
