I am interested in getting this wheel. But would like some information on it
first. Where can I get reviews and opinons?

Thanks for any help.

www.gamecenter.com, www.voodooextreme.com, and  www.f1racingsim.com all have
reviews on this wheel.  They may call it F1 Wheel, but it is the same wheel as
the Nascar Pro.

The buttons are oddly positioned though - way too low if you drive
with your hans at the 10/2 o'clock positions as lot of people do. I
was also surprised that there weren't MORE buttons - The T2 was always
difficult to use for action games like I76 because there weren't
enough buttons. If they'd put a couple finger-trigger buttons under
the 2/10 o'clock hand positions it would have been perfect.

Love mine.  Good step up from the T2 although there is a little learning
curve getting use to the feel of it.  Also, the price is pretty good
compared to some of the high end wheels.  It feel sure it is not as good
as a ECCI or TSW but for those who don't want to spend $500+ (figurtive
number) on a race car controller, it is the best way to go.

From most in-car camera shots of the F1 & CART drivers they seem to race
with their hands more in 9/3 o'clock position.  I think this is because
of the  position of their buttons.  If you adopt this position, the
button location work fine (if your thumbs are long enough that is).

Probably true, but I think that would be a very difficult adjustment
for me to make.
