At Silverstone in the Marlboro Stand they had several copys of F1 for
the sony play station. The graphics are fabtastic it was a little
difficult to control useing a joypad but it is almost worth buying  a
play station just to get the game.

Don't forget that you can buy a wheel/pedal combo for the playstation for
around 60-70 bucks american.  From what I hear, it's a pretty good piece of
equipment.

It is.  The wheel is every bit as solid as the T2, with more buttons in
more convenient places (like on the back where your index fingers rest, 3
across on the spokes, and a joypad/start button in the middle for
navigating menus).  It also has a shifter just like the T2 on the right.
No foam grip like the T2, but the wheel is still solid.  The pedals are
the weak link, as they offer little resistance and there's no resistance
differential between the two, but they are decent analog pedals and get
the job done.  The bottom line is that you can't beat the price...just
slightly more than a Playstation game, and games like Wipeout and Need for
Speed are now absolutely fantastic.

        Yes that's right ! There's a Mad Catz for PC. A friend of mine bought
one yesterday and it looks like to be cool on PC too.

        Have Fun with the Mad Catz and your playstation or your PC.

I read somewhere that it will also work for the PC. Is this true?
It's the Mad catz set isn't it?
