GP500 Wheel - Any Good ????

by Tony Powel » Sun, 05 Jan 1997 04:00:00

Anyone got the GP500 Wheel ? - The one that costs about 250 - 300 quid.
Is it any good ? - Is it worth the price tag ?
I would be using it for GP2 if I decide to get one.
Comments good and bad appreciated.

Cheerz,

Tony.

Uh, if you've tried the Thrustmaster 'plastic-shit' and you try the Gp500 -
you'll know which one to buy ...

Build one! (or get a friend to build one for you :-)

Check out Wally's world of wheels on my web page!

So you don't think much of the Thrustmaster as well :-)

The GP500, (its now known as the F1 Sim) is one of the best Wheel and
pedal combo's out there.
Well worth the money if you can afford it, i can't, I'm still saving, But
I have used a GP500 and they are the proverbial Dogs b*ll*cks, The build
quality and its "feel" set it apart from all the others.

BUY ONE TODAY!!!!!!!

I would advise prospective GP500/F1 Sim owners to try one before buying
it. It is a _great_ wheel (I have one and love it) but some people have
reported finding the pedals very awkward to use. This is mostly a matter
of getting used to it (took me about three weeks to get back to my
previous times) and adjusting the pedals to suit their needs, but people
should be aware that it might take some effort.

Cheers,
Richard
