Can someone tell me how well the Thrustmaster GP1 wheel works with F1RS?
I'm thinking about getting one, it seems to fit my budget/needs but I'd
like to hear some opinions on it.

Thanks,

I never really liked it.  But that's a personal preference.  I just seem to
"drive" better with a joystick (hmmm, maybe I'll fit one to my Integra).
Anyway, I didn't its inability to give a consistent return to dead-center.
If that doesn't bother you, it's a good deal.  Last I saw, it was "free" at
CompUSA (after rebate) when they discontinued carrying it.  Otherwise, it
should be available for $50 or so.

It works fine, but obviously it isn't a real wheel (pedals!)

I love it!  It's a great step up from a joystick.  For $50 you can't beat
it.

I have a TM Nascar pro and a GP1 wheel and actually prefer the GP1 for F1RS.
It works quite well for me.

I've been using the GP1 with F1RS since November of last year. It works very
well, easy to configure and it takes up very little space.  Recently I've added
the CH Pedals and , although I ran into some setup problems, they helped knock
off at least a second from my laptimes.

Works _very_ well.  I have the flippers setup to do gear changes and a set
of CH Pro Pedals for their respective duties.  GP1 is solid after a year of
*** in GP2 and now F1RS.  Love the flippers.  Thrustmaster has them on
their site for $39 as of a couple of days ago.
