NASCAR Racing w/T1

I have recently been having a problem with my T1 while racing NASCAR. Every once in a while, usually during a yellow, the wheel calibration goes haywire. The car makes a hard left and accelerates into the wall. It's like a cruel joke especially after finishing half the race. Anyway, if anyone has had similar problems and worked them out please do tell. - Marcos Balcells --

The steering pot on mine went bad after 2 weeks. With the wheel 5-10 degrees to the left the calibration was all over the place. Must have had some oxide flake off. Thrustmaster sent a new one, which I installed. It has been flawless since. BTW: They're not trivial to install. Not REAL difficult, either, just not as easy as you might expect. -- |---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | "The Constitution is a radical document.

Hey Sean, you'll probably never get rid of that push because they made the Tri-Oval too darn tight!! Just drive down onto the apron from the top lane and you'll be fine(just pray that no one sneaks onto your outside or it will be time for a "slide ride" across the infield!!). Julio C.
