Thrustmaster GP1

I just got the Thrustmaster GP1 wheel. It is so cool. I got it from Costco Wholesale for $49.99. What a bargain. My lap times have dropped, I can drive a loose car much better, much smoother. This wheel design is great, with the throttle and brake levers on the wheel. No pedals sliding around on the floor. No pushing the gas and brake at the same time cause the pedals are the size of postage stamps and too close together. Installation was quick, and it works with all my driving stuff well. Go get one if you don't have a wheel now. Kenny L. Not a Thrustmaster employee either

Where my computer is set up there is no room for pedals, so for me it was the first wheel attachment. WOW!! Went out and bought Rally Championshiop, Monster Truck Madness, and my current drug of choice, Grand Prix 2. The GP1 wheel changed my mix of games from mostly flying to mostly driving. Love it. (Almost paid $90, but found it for $50 at Sam's Club -- would still be a bargain at $90.)

I see Sam's Club also has them for that price. Jim Treber

You can't get some massive hand cramp though after driving 100 or so laps at Talladega. Still, I like my quite a bit. Scott Rogers

I really can recommend the TM GP1 in combination with the CH Pedals. They are a lot better than the T2 pedals and can be used for flight sims as well. With this combination I can use the pedals on the GP1 for shifting which is excellent. l8er ronny -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Excuse me. What I really meant to say was... You can get some massive hand cramp after driving 100 or so laps at Talladega. Still, I like mine quite a bit. Scott "I think I speak English" Rogers

Well, I actually read it the right way... Isn't it funny how the brain corrects things because it excpects it to that way? That's why there isn't much use in spelling checking one's writing. You know what you wanted to write and you will most certainly read that and not what you actually wrote. Anyway, I have been using the GP1 for a year and the throttle hand can get tired I tell you! Haven't succeeded in fastening the wheel though because my table has like a "frame" underneath it preventing the clamps on the wheel from working. /Michael

Steering with the wheel, shifting gears with the wheel pedals (!) and gas and breaks on the CH Pedals. The joystick calibration in ICR2 and Nascar2 is the best and most flexible. There is no other game that allows you to choose a joystick axis for shifting gears (e.g., this doesn't work in GP2). l8er ronny -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
