I was wondering which wheels were used at the e3 on the gp3 and wsc stand?

Why would you want to use the shifter for GP3?  Current F1 cars
all have paddles fitted to the backs of their steering wheels
for changing gear.  When I buy GP3, I will unplug my RS Shifter
and use the paddles for changing gear.  Much more realistic than
using the shifter.  Of course, the shifter will be plugged back
in when I go back to GPL.

Cheers

Phil

I'd certainly hope not, all 98 F1 cars used a sequential gearbox with
controls on the steering wheel.

You're joking, right?  Why should the current F1 shifting mechanism determine
what control device we use?  I'm currently using a TSW2 with shift buttons on
the wheel for GPL.  I guess that would be wrong, too?

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

It sure would, just as me driving my GPL with paddles on my MSFF is wrong.
(but I have no choice) <G>

Modern F1 cars do not shift using a gated shifter, they shift sequentially
(except for the button to select 1st or 2nd which I believe some use for
recovering after a spin ?) Is that going to be in GP3 ? :)
If they do support the RS shifter and people decide to use it then of course
that's their decision, but there's no way I'd shift like that out of choice
;)

Yes actually the shifting plates on all the current ff wheels don't comply
to FIA standards. I am afraid no of us can now buy GP unless we have a F1
car so not to de void realism!
Only joking!!!
