I am very pleased with my purchase and GPL is fun to drive with the
joystick, is it possible though to be as quick with a joystick as a
pedals/wheel combo? I still need lots more practice till I find out for
myself:)

Some of the top "hot laps" are by joystick users, but I imagine they are
using a stick and pedals. I use just a stick, and I feel like I have hit
a wall in terms of speed. Without the division of throttle/brake from
steering, even the most sensitive use of a joystick will never match stick
and pedals.

Mike Lasky is the only really quick driver I know of who only uses a
joystick (he's the driver of the sample Kyalami replay on the GPL CD). It's
quite a sight to see Mike abusing his joystick but I wouldn't really
recommend it as a means of control ;-)

I was actually slower after converting to a wheel for months.

I still don't know if there are limitations with this method as I'm
still improving. I'm not sure what sort of times Chris is aiming for,
but as a couple of examples off the top of my head I have done:-
1:20.3 at Kayalami
1:28.3 at Monza
1:25.7 at Zandvoort
1:57.8 at Rouen

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.

You feel slow at 1:29?!? Try 1:31...I'm in the next TIME zone...

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...
