I have a T1.  It turns through about 120 degrees.  There is *no* problem
driving IndyCar with it.  I set the lock down to about 5 on ovals with a
very twitchy setup (you know, the kind with 3.00/3.00 wings?) and no problem,
and I can also set the lock more normally on road courses and drive normally.
Even on the ovals I don't have trouble in the pits, either.

I have a G-Force yoke that I use for Indycar and NASCAR.  I find that
because this "wheel" only turns about 20 degrees in each direction the
steering is very twitchy unless the lock-to-lock in each sim is set at a
very low setting (6 degrees or so).  This, of course makes slow hairpins
and pulling out of the pits with cars ahead very difficult.

My question is does the T1 offer more wheel travel?  Can anyone who uses
one estimate the lock-to-lock action on the T1?
