Racing Cotnrollers reviewed ... by Car & Driver!

Thought you guys might be interested. Car & Driver magazine reviewed PC steering wheels / pedals in the December issue. Me, I tried a GP1 twice, gave up, and went back to my CH joystick. So, I probably am not the best to comment on their expertise. Here's how they finished: 1. TSW Formula, 92 pts ($725) 2. CH EXL500, 88 ($60) 2. Extreme Compretition CDS4000, 88 ($995) 4. Virtual Vehicle VV.JD, 84 ($1295) 5. Mad Catz, 83 ($60) 6. TM NASCAR Pro, 79 ($180) (lost favor due to its pedals) 7. SC&T Ultimate Per4mer, 73 ($100) 8. Interact V3, 70 ($59) (I agree with their comments as I tried the PSX version for playing Gran Turismo). Oh, they used Nascar2 on a P2-400 for testing, Sears Point. They limited the laps to two, which probably isn't fair to the different controllers. Yes, price was one of the criteria.

It's funny that they didn't like the TMPro pedals, but ranked the exl500 second. Have you seen these pedals? I wouldn't even call them that.

Oh yeah, $180 for a TMPro? Geez, I don't want to shop there ;) >It's funny that they didn't like the TMPro pedals, but ranked the exl500 >second. Have you seen these pedals? I wouldn't even call them that. >Mike (TEN ID:mpete) >http://www.mnworld.com >Mike's Nascar World

% comment on their expertise. Here's how they finished: % 1. TSW Formula, 92 pts ($725) % 2. CH EXL500, 88 ($60) % 2. Extreme Compretition CDS4000, 88 ($995) % 4. Virtual Vehicle VV.JD, 84 ($1295) % 5. Mad Catz, 83 ($60) % 6. TM NASCAR Pro, 79 ($180) (lost favor due to its pedals) Just a note, that TM has new pedal designs for the NASCAR Pro, they are place very similar to the NASCAR Super Sport. The new pedal design should move it the list. The new pedals with the Super Sport are a delight. Great control over throttle and braking. % 7. SC&T Ultimate Per4mer, 73 ($100) % 8.
