Good Racing wheel

I a looking for a good racing wheel. I have had a T1 and T2 in the past and
now, I hesitate between GPF1 and FORMULA ONE (Or NASCAR) racing Wheel

Does the Formula One Racing wheel worth its price ???

Can I plug pedals from madcatz steering wheel in a GPF1 to have a combo ?

Is there a digital Racing wheel on the market (I HATE to calibrate
joysticks) ?

I do not like do pay more than 200$.

Thanks...

I think it is worth the price.  The next step up from this is probably
the Thompson Steering Wheel, which also carries a big step up in price.
However, they question arises as to what you didn't like in the T1/T2's.
If you disliked the pedals, you should find the Formula One Pro a big
improvement.  The complete new design in the tension/spring mechanisms
in the F1/NASCAR Pro is a vast improvement along with the feel of the
pedals.  The steering is much tighter and has a progressive feel to it
(more resistance as you turn the wheel).

% Can I plug pedals from madcatz steering wheel in a GPF1 to have a combo ?

I don't know the answer to this.  If the madcatz pedals are on a
separate joystick from it's wheel, I would think it's possible.  You
might need to use the "Win95" adaptor between the GP1 and the pedals.  I
know that people have successfully done this with CH Pro Pedals or their
T1/T2 pedals.
