The I-WAY Virtual Racing Facility in Lyon, France, was built for fans of car-racing. The facility features 18 driving simulators (that look to me like actual cars), which have the movement and structure of real vehicles. The racing area is divided into three different zones.
The three areas are the Formula 1 zone (with six Formula 1 cars), the endurance zone (which has six "virtual Pescarolo cars") and finally, the Rally and Touring zone. The I-WAY Virtual Racing Facility sounds like a pretty amazing place to get your speed fix!
