    Just stop the top bit rotating and you have a top pivot mount F1 style Sim :)

    When finished racing, just have a quick kip in it too. Win Win.

    There has already been a real life Ikea sim: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/ikea-1-5-dof-ultra-comfort.5602/

    A cubby house sim: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2dof-cubby-house-flight-simulator.5992/

    A lego based simulator: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/rc-2dof-made-from-lego.6276/

    And recently a motion sim as a baby rocker: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/new-build-arduino-motomonster-2dof.6159/

    So I guess there may be room in this world for a suspended hammock F1 sim :popcorn
