I' m not familiar with the T2 setup but I just got the CH VirtualPro Pedal and Wheel setup (you also should have a CH Gamecard Auto3). So far I've been able to beat all my previous track times at every track in Nascar Racing. It also works just as well with all my flight sim programs. It's not as cheap as the T2 setup but the results were worth the extra money.

long time. I only wish I had done it sooner. I have always been fanatical about driving simulations, but annoyed at using keyboard or joysticks. Now driving simulations are pure pleasure. I do have one problem with it though. If anyone out there has a good solution I would appreciate it. The little *** squares that go on the bottom of the pedals came off, so now if I have to slam on the breaks for anything, the pedals slide on the floor. Anyone know a good way to re-stick them on there, so they will stay forever? Thanks.
