I found that getting an office mat (clear plastic about 40" X 60") has
helped with sliding tremendously. Got for like $15.00 at local
OfficeMax.

Hi,

I had the same problem! All I did was take the top off, and then bolt
the bottom to a piece of wood about 6" x 20". I Then put it back
together. When I use the wheel now, all I do is use a G-clamp or two
to clamp the piece of wood to my desk. It doesn't move now!

Something else to consider though is technique. If the wheel is moving
around a lot, then maybe you are being too rough on the wheel. I'm not
saying that you are (I've never seen you drive!), just presenting
another possibility. When I'm playing F1GP, I find that I am quickest
and most consistent while trying to keep my steering inputs to a
minimum. i.e. Try to just turn into the corner, and then unwind the
wheel to straighten up. Now wrenching of the wheel is required. Most
slides can be controlled with judicious use of the throttle, and the
steering used as a last resort to catch the big ones :-). Like I said,
this technique works very well for me, but your mileage may vary.

Hope this helps
