Daniel Chipman from Ontario, Canada was left severely disabled after a motorcycle crash, but he didn’t let that stop him from building an incredible racing simulator right in his living room. First, he spent approximately one year gathering parts from various Subaru vehicles, all the while recovering from fractures to his leg, pelvis, wrist, shoulder and arm, which were sustained in a terrible motorcycle accident.
After getting the parts, he needed to piece everything together, including installing a few custom screens as well as a projector for the authentic racing experience. Even though this project is now complete, his love for cars has only grew and he’s ready to open up a real shop to celebrate automotive art.

I was in a really serious motorcycle accident. I couldn’t do much so with the love I have for cars, Subaru’s and all the car parts I had lying around my home,” said Daniel.
