It's just plain not a racing wheel- it's a driving wheel- like you owuld find
in your own car. It's over big, and the wheel is too thick.
The flippers behind the wheel are tiny and hopeless.

They could stand to be a little larger, but that's
something that could be modified easily. I use the
buttons on the face of the wheel to shift gears, and
use the paddles to look left and right.

Interesting. My impression was that next to say, the Logitech wheel, or
Saitek, etc, i was going to loose too mcuh time over a race fumbling for the
flippers.

Can't argue with that.
I've carried the habit of shifting with thumb buttons
over from using a TM GP1 wheel. If I had my heart set
on using the paddles, I'd glue/screw/bolt some sort of
extender on the end of the paddle (if it bothered me
that much).
