i went to Toyota's car show place thingie and got to test drive a Vitz (auto), and a celica (only car on the list that was stick), it's been a good 5 years i've driven a rhd car so it was a good refresher...you need either a japanese lic. or an international dl to drive the cars, and yes, they check, i handed him my cali lics and the guy said no, so i whipped out the international one and was good to go...they have alittle road course you drive around, kinda cool. you can sign up to drive any car you want that toyota makes basically (suv's, trucks, sports cars, compacts, sedans...)

Video of the GT4 race simulator at the Toyota place. The guy driving pretty much sucked, but he gave a good idea on how the machine works...fun to drive, shame it's only 1 lap though.

they had an f1 simulator as well, and you climb into the cockpit of an f1 car and have a 50 inch screen in front of you, but it was broken images/smilies/sad.gif

Toyota Vitz i drove, no pics of the celica, cause everyone knows what that looks like

haha they have that in a lot of autoshows also.

i remember that in the NYC Autoshow they would have 3 of those in the Subaru show area (all in blue with subaru graphics of couse) and i would set the fastest time each time images/smilies/tongue.gif
