Does a steering wheel greatly improve performances at Sears Point and
Watkins Glen.  I'm using a Gravis joystick and just can't seem to make
some of the turns.  My best times are only about 86mph at Sears Pt. and
108mph at Watkins Glen.

   My personal experience...
   I have a Gravis joystick as well as a T2 and have found it is a lot
easier to be CONSISTENTLY faster using the wheel, especially on the
two circuits mentioned.
   The best route to an improvement in performance... a decent setup!!
