        From reading this newsgroup I have concluded that the T1 has serious
reliability problems, and those considering buying one should think again.
I paid 180 UK pounds for mine (***y expensive) and assumed it would be made
from quality components - this is obviously untrue.  Although it was great at
first, the unit became faulty after only one season of Indycar ( if you want a
realistic simulation of last year's McLaren, a broken T1 is just the thing).

        If anyone from Thrustmaster is reading this, I'd be interested to hear
what they have to say about this matter.

Well, I have a T1 and have used it very heavily without any problems, I
bought it shortly after Indycar came out and have used it with Nascar and
Indycar alot. Infact I was a beta tester for both NASCAR and Indycar.

Personally, I agree some people have had problems with the T1, but
Thrustmasters response has been excellent.

Was it covered by warranty?


I'd be interested to see what they have to say.
