Which wheel would you recomend the GP1, or the T2.  I was looking at them
at the store today, and I think that driving with the GP1 must be
handfull, after all you have to do everything with your hands.  Any
commets welcome.

Thanks,

Steven

I don't have GP1, but my TSW is great on N2.  And, with the ability to
shift with a stick or  buttons on the wheel, I would think it would work
equally well for GP racing.

In Febuary's edition of PC Zone they review all the "good" wheel and
pedal combi's and the GP1.

The GP1 came third, its the same build and feel as the T2, but they
reckon the paddles for acceleration & braking make your fingers ache
after a while.

The T2 came second, I have one and I would agree with this, its OK for
the money, solid build, not so much of a plastic feel, parts tend to
break, (springs, pots), but thrustmaster have an excellent support
service for spares.

The GP500 or as its now known F1 Sim, came tops, I have used one for
about an hour, on a couple of occasions, and I agree, it is the best
wheel and pedal combo in the UK. a bit pricey, but worth it in the long
run, great build quality and lasts forever, (so I'm told).
