Is this any good ? It comes bundled with the TM GP1 in the UK at
the moment, and I wonderred if I could replace GP2 with it.
Thanks.

No. Power F-1 is a big joke, like Psygnosis Formula-1. It is NOT a sim like
GP-2.
Keep GP-2 or better yet, get F-1 Racing Simulation. It's the best.

Picked the wheel up yesterday - it was 39.99 (unusually good
value for the UK, it was 79.99 last summer !) and comes bundled
with Power F1, Network Q Rally Challenge and the X-Miles add-on.
After a quick test I was reasonably impressed with the Rally game,
but strangely couldn't get the wheel to work with Power F1, but as everyone
has said it is ***anyway I pobably won't persue it any further.
It certainly works great with GP2 which is what I really wanted to use
it with. I'm very impressed at the solid feel of it compared to the
feel of the wheels available for the consoles. It certainly feels as
though it will help bring those lap times down - I've only had digital
accelerator and brake up until now, but now I can actually feather the
throttle round corners - not scream in, lock up the breaks, turn in, hope
I release the brake at the right time, then light up the tyres away again
hoping I don't spin out !

Hope you don't min me asking, but where did you get it for 39.99.

Many thanks

I've had several queries for this so -
I got the TM GP1 at Byte (in Watford). It was 49.99 reduced to
39.99 in their post - Xmas sale.
