    Japanese websites always scare me, they look like a deluge of information, lacking the pretty.

    i must ask because ive always wanted to buy a wheel. does the wheel have resistance and does is go back to the middle if you let it go while coming out of a turn? im thinking probably not :( but i dunno for sure.

    and that kid looks pretty tiny for 17.

    @ChonieRanchito: Most racing wheels for the 360/PS3 do have force feedback, I know the 360 wheel pulls against you in turns, then goes loose when the front tires break traction.

    It's sort of a pain in the ass to set it all up, but once you get used to playing Forza/GT with a wheel the controller just doesn't cut it.

    @ChonieRanchito: With a few notable exceptions Formula 1 isn't really a sport where you have tall men. Most famous drivers average at 5'7"-9".
    and I believe Xe03 answered the other question :)

    Nothing new. Various F1 drivers have familiarized themselves with tracks by playing F1 racing games.

    GT benefits from a huge library of cars, but there are better and more accurate racing games out there.

    Wait for the G27 to come out, and then get the G25 for cheap. (hopefully it will drop when the G27 comes out)

    I really need to get a racing wheel. The amount of racing games that are coming out, or have come out, in 2009/2010 is crazy:

    Forza 3, NFS:Shift, Gran Turismo 5, Split/Second, Blur, F1 2009, Dirt 2, the new WRC game (announced for 2010) etc.

    Good time to be a fan of racing video games ay?

    EDIT: Just noticed, isn't that a motorcycle helmet? You sure he's playing GT5:P and not Tourist Trophy (with a wheel for some reason)?

    @VEX: Playing Gran Turismo with a good racing wheel is absolutely heaven dude. You will not regret it.

    Also, my times are like 50% better using the wheel than using a controller.

    @dowingba: @teeuwen:
    Yeah I've heard playing GT (or any racing game) with a steering wheel is like taking it to another level ... but damn man 50% faster times? Now I REALLY have to get a wheel.

    @DJ_Skrull:
    NFS:Shift and Dirt 2 until Forza 3 comes out. Then Forza 3 until GT5 comes out (of course not just GT5, but F3 and GT5 in tandem).

    But as an arcade racing fan as well, I really want to try out Blur and Split/Second
    ... the videos look good for them man.

    @gallahad:
    Interesting. But you're not saying it's not a motorcycle helmet right? Or are you? Now I'm confused.

    That appears to be the same wheel I have. And if so, that force feedback is going to be knocking around all those drinks and stuff he has strewn about.

    I have mine hooked to a table and to weigh down the table I pile on my Sin City collection and LOTR books. It's not uncommon for a book to go flying during a crash or such.

    @Michael Dukakis: Well, I should hope he is, for his sake! But even just going off the track a bit generally causes an earthquake of juicy, juicy force feedback. Who knew grass was so bumpy!

    The meaning of my name is a closely guarded secret. (And also an inside joke that no one but me and some old friends would understand anyway.) I've been using it for about 9 years now online. It's very useful because, since it isn't a word in any language (apparently), it's never "taken" so when I sign up for shit I don't have to add numbers or anything to the end.
