What kind of controls are people using for nascar?
I started with the keyboard, but didn't like it, I seem to have better
success with the joystick. How about a Steering wheel set-up? Anyone
using that? How is it? Whats is cost?

MUCH LIKE DRIVING THE REAL THING. IT COST UNDER $500 AND MADE TO LAST NO
PLASTIC AT ALL. YOU CAN GET THERE INFORMATION BY CALLING THEM AT 612-824-

Me? Thrustmaster M-1 Joystick. I can't afford a wheel (yet).
Yeah, I tried using the keyboard once (and only once while I was sober -
if you can believe that) and won't do it again.
My team mates in the NASCAR Racing League both use wheels and say that
they're a heck of a lot better than using a stick. Cost: about $110
(approx) for a Thrustmaster T-1 wheel/pedal combo. This is an economical
setup and is fairly reliable and common. I do know a guy who makes
hi-grade wheel/pedal combos for $250 (approx) a copy. But those are
high-end models.
Hopefully, I'll win one in the league. (They're offering one at the end
of the season; it'll be a raffle - every race you run is a chance you get
in the raffle. Should be interesting).
