    For racing you want a body shaker for sure, had both and Seat Mover blows away a full 2DOF.
    Motion feels so wrong once you can actually compare them plus compare what it feels like at 200kph in a highly sprung race car, you get rattled and tossed like a rag doll in the seat, just like a Seat Mover as a lot of professional drivers are moving towards and actually recommend the simpler rigs for more realism.

    Totally agree here. Without some serious power or 4 motors 2 front 2 back, youre not going to get the speed and fast action as a seat mover. Some would argue this, just my opinion as I have tried both.
