Hello fellow sim racers~! Well, I've held off the purchase of a FFB wheel until GP3 has arrived. GP3 hits the store Wednesday here in Canada, (you lucky european dogs~! ;)) Now I need some advice... Is there a particular wheel/pedal combo that is considered the best? I know that everyone must have an opinion and preference, but is there a clear cut winner? I read a review/comparison of the Guillemot (Ferrari) and Microsoft (Sidewinder?) wheels. And it appears that while it was close, the Guillemot was their choice. Would the majority agree with that? And are there others available that are as good or better? As far as pedals go, I wasn't too thrilled with the pedals I saw with either of the above mentioned products. They seemed too small & looked like they'd need an anvil to hold them still,..(any tips on that BTW?). Are there wheel/pedal combos with better pedals? A few years ago I had some really massive pedals that were actually for flight sims, but I loved their feel and control... As an apex nibbler I trailbrake very late into most tight turns and feel a good pedal setup is almost as imprtant and a good wheel. Any advice greatly appreciated TIA

Can't give you a comparison; but I have a Logitech FF and it works without any problems with GP3 (and other games). Not too expensive either. Have fun!
