As Bob Earl puts it, ''Most simulators I found on the market did not simulate the proper, comfortable seating position I was used to from racing formula and sports cars. They were also either too expensive or overly complicated and not well suited for home use. I wanted to give gamers the most realistic feel in the most efficient and cost effective simulator possible. It also had to be a simple design that was acceptable to the
'non gamers' in the family.
To optimize the design I went to my friends at Huffaker Engineering, who built some of the most successful racecars I ever sat in. Together Joe Huffaker and I came up with the affordable VRC1.''
