Has anyone noticed a great improvment moving from joystick to the
Thrustmaster GP1?  I can do a 60.4 at Portland in ICR2.....will there
be a significant decrease?

        You honestly care more about whether your times will be
faster, than whether it will be more fun?

Thats the difference between running a sim and an arcade game.

           That's not true...I know of many arcade racers which are
founded on the principle of getting faster times.  More to the point:
will using a joystick or a keyboard to get faster times make GP2 more
of a sim, or will using a steering wheel make it more of a sim?
