Does anyone have one?

From the picture, http://www.racesimcentral.net/,
I cannot see where the analog gas/brake is located.  The shifters are
the wheel but the page states that it also has analog
accelerator/brake.

The shifters are behind the steering wheel:
- left shifter is gear down
- left leaver = break
- right shifter is gear up
- right leaver is accelerate

It works really nice.

To answer to your other posting:
- I switched from joystick (with steering help) to steering wheel
(without steering help)
  and I am much slower now in GP2, but it is much more fun.

I don't own one, but I know the gas and brake are controlled by two
'paddles' on the back of the wheel (no pedals).  A lot of people seem to
like it as well as, or better than, pedals ...
