Does anyone know anything about the new Thrustmaster T2 steering wheel/pedal package? It apparently can be used with the new IndyCar II and NASCAR racing games.
It is available for around $120 via some of the on line services.
The Thrustmast T1 package has been advertised in ON TRACK magazine during the past year as an option on the IndyCar and NASCAR games.
I'm curious if anyone has tried one and if so how well do they work.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jack.

I don't own a steering wheel system, but I have tried my friend's T2 on his
system. I tried it on Surfer's Paradise in ICR2. I only raced four laps with
it, and I struggled the first two laps (I mean, driving with a joystick felt so
natural to me). But the last two laps, I was turning in times similar to my
joystick times. I figure that it would've only improved even further as I got
more experience with it.
Unfortunately, I don't have the money right now to invest into a steering
wheel/pedal system yet.
My friend also uses it in NASCAR with no problems.

Jack, the T1 is the best thing that has ever been created for the racing
simulator fans. Trust me, I had it for more than 1 year now. You are
going to need one for the Indy2 and GP2.
Jack
Trust me on this. I own the T1 for 1 year now, and I am going to
upgrade it to T2. This is the best thing that has ever been created for
all racing-simulators fans. Through endless trys in NASCAR at Sears
Point RaceWay, I actually improve my lap time at Sears Point in real
life.
The T1 works very work. It takes a hour ot two to get use to. I don;t
see how people can play these great drving games with a joystick. Get a
T2, it is worth every penny of it.

: I'm curious if anyone has tried one and if so how well do they work.
I have been using the T1 since IndyCar I came out. Well, I tried to
drive with the joystick for a couple of months, but that didn't cut the
mustard. Before I took the plunge for the T1, I tried a couple of
"yoke" systems. None of which provided the control I need for steering.
One of the advantages (besides steering control), is the ability to lead
the car with the brake (putting down force on the front wheels while
braking and steering). This works just like the real thing in ICR1,
NASCAR & ICR2. This is a must for working the road courses.
If you can afford it and plan to spend alot of time racing, it's well
worth the investment.
