You never played with a wheel?

nah man, on the mouse since 2003.

kinda inevitable though really, since s2 i have felt really disadvantaged. mainly because of not being able to drive as smoothly as a wheeler.. i could keep up but tyre wear was always harder to maintain due to contantly tapping the throttle through the turns.. and braking hard all the time whether i liked it or not

. im quite amazed at how smoothly i can take corners now due to the proper pedal control.

i got a logitech driving force, only $85! so cheap that i couldn't say no. i realise it aint the best wheel but for a start it'll do me just fine. didn't wanna risk buying that G25 for $450 incase i didn't like using a wheel. once i get my times down using this sucker though i might consider buying one.. awesome looking wheel
