I want to experience better realism with my NASCAR and IndyCar games and was
wondering: Is the T1 worth all the problems it's apparently giving? I know
Thrustmaster has a good rep for dealing with broken parts, but is it worth
the frustration. I've also heard that the spring tension and feel leave a lot
to be desired. But I'm getting this from magazines. I'd like to hear from
people who actually use it. Please post your opinions. Thanks!
P.S. The reason I'm asking is because my birthday is coming up soon.

Is this wheel shipping yet?. I have had a few discussions with Trevor
and I'm on a waiting list. I haven't heard anything for about a month.

I got one for Christmas and am EXTREMELY happy with it. So far, no broken
parts. It seems quite well built, and I imagine that if something does break,
it wouldn't be too hard to fix. I've also heard that Thrustmaster has a good
reputation for customer service, although I don't have any first hand
experience.
Also, if you get one, be sure to put wooden blocks under the pedals... helps
A LOT! Also, I devised a mounting mechanism that actually bolts the wheel
assembly to my desk. Holds it very tight for those over-zealous turns at
Bristol.
Later...

I second the motion for the Thomas Super Wheel. I got mine last week and
this thing is built like a Winston Cup car, it will not break. this would
be a great investment. My car control is so much improved that it is like
night and day. I was using Maxx pedals and a CH Virtual Pilot......
