I am a newbie to GPL.

After test-playing it at a friend, I instantly order a copy. But I have
not driving wheel. I have 2 choices come into mind:

1. TM Formula T2 (T2)
2. Logitech Wheel Formula Force (LWFF)

Which one should I go to? Or is there any recommendations? Oh, don't
tell me it is Microsoft Force Wheel...

Griffin, I have both wheels. And the verdict is: go for the Logitech if
you can afford it. It is the better wheel in all respects, not counting
FF. When used with the USB port it offers better control than T2 with
gameport in all games. You'll be needing it <g>

Good luck,

Ways in which the LWFF is better than the T2:
1. Force feedback (duh)
2. Dual-axis pedals  (You can rewire a T2 to add dual-axis support)
3. Paddle shifters
4. Better-feeling wheel
5. Stay-put pedal base

Ways in which the T2 is better than the LWFF:
1. Longer pedal travel
2. Better pedal resistance  (You can add stiffer springs to the LWFF)
3. Price

I highly recommend the LWFF.  I also highly recommend upgrading the
springs in the pedals.
