Hi
After I got my wheel I became a much better racing driver. Its a big difference
between a wheel and a pad. My advice: Get a wheel.

Which one? I have never used a wheel. Do they plugin
to a standard joystick port or use one serial port?
What does a good entry level wheel cost?

Thanks

The "Possible" best bang for your buck currently COULD be the Act-Labs
RS for arround 69.00.  I have NEVER tried that wheel but have seen/heard
good things about it.  For myself (Note:  I have about 1,400 races and
40k+ online laps and have been ranked #1 at times on TEN/NROS) I have
always used a Thrustmaster GP1.  The wheel has been very good to me and
I just recently purchased a set of CH Pedals for 45.00.  The GP1 can
probably be purchased for under 50.00 and is a very good/inexpensive
sim-wheel.
