GP500 Wheel - Any Good ????

Anyone got the GP500 Wheel ? - The one that costs about 250 - 300 quid. Is it any good ? - Is it worth the price tag ? I would be using it for GP2 if I decide to get one. Comments good and bad appreciated. Cheerz, Tony.

The GP500, (its now known as the F1 Sim) is one of the best Wheel and pedal combo's out there. Well worth the money if you can afford it, i can't, I'm still saving, But I have used a GP500 and they are the proverbial Dogs b*ll*cks, The build quality and its "feel" set it apart from all the others. BUY ONE TODAY!!!!!!! d:~) **Peter** #:?)

I would advise prospective GP500/F1 Sim owners to try one before buying it. It is a _great_ wheel (I have one and love it) but some people have reported finding the pedals very awkward to use. This is mostly a matter of getting used to it (took me about three weeks to get back to my previous times) and adjusting the pedals to suit their needs, but people should be aware that it might take some effort. Cheers, Richard
