I'm looking to buy a racing wheel with pedals for N2. I've seen
some talk about the T2 and the new Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel, as
well as the wheel / pedals from CH. I'm not going to try to build my
own as some have done. Are there other choices out there as well?
What wheel / pedal system is best for Nascar 2? Obviously I want
comfort, durability and control.
I currently have the Thrustmaster Grand Prix wheel. It seems to be ok
but I'm getting some shoulder / arm pain from holding down the throttle
with my hand. Also I have to drive with the steering assist ON. It is
impossible to even drive in a straight line with it off. Steering assist
can be annoying at times, so I'd like to turn it off. This may not be
the wheels fault, I'm using a SB 16's joystick port. I'm getting a new
computer so if after testing the wheel with the new system, I'll get a
gamecard if need be.
Any help or links you can give me with finding the right wheel would be
appreciated.

For the price, I think that the NASCAR Pro wheel is the one to go for.
If you are willing to spend anything over $200, there are other
alternatives (Thompson Steering Wheel and Extreme Competition Controls'
wheel). I seem to have lost the current URL for TSW, but I believe ECCI
is http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/extreme

Try reducing the steering lock in the garage setup. If this doesn't
help I would assume that you may need to look into getting a dedicated
gamecard. Driving with steering assist on is like driving with a fully
employed parachute!

Forget the Nascar pro wheel. I just got it and I hate it
particularly the pedals.
Its not a patch on the CH Racing wheel and CH pedals
which are great for N2 (I use these now).
BTW CH is bringing out a Racing system which includes
my wheel and a set of car pedals. It may be worth
checking this one out first.
