This past weekend, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Mr.Alan Smith, Product Marketing Manager Dude, of Thrustmaster while at the Long Beach Grand Prix. We talked long about sims, controllers and the market. He couldn't say too much, but my advice to you is to wait a bit longer if you can. This summer, about the same time GPL hits the shelves, TM should have released their new line of Racing Controllers, and I think we may be in for a pleasant surprise. We'll have to wait and see, but I was very encouraged by what I heard, about both features and pricing. However...If I had to go out and purchase a wheel today, I'd pick up another Thrustmaster GP1. I already have 2 of them, and for the time I spend driving, the features it has and the price of the GP1, I just cannot justify spending any more than that right now. ( My local EB sells it for $ 49.00 US ). Don

Pedals and Wheel have a nice feel. Much improvement over the T2 series.

I have a Nascar also, but Im experienceing sluggishness (compared to a microsoft3d joystick) and some chop...using sb card only. Do you have this problem or do you use a seperate card? >> Question, i'm thinking about buying a steering wheel for : >> F1RS,TOCA,GP2,CART etc. >> What's currently the best wheel to buy in terms of quality and playability >> ????? >> Greetinx >The Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel is really nice.

Are there or will there be any pedal units that have a clutch pedal built in? Using the 3rd button for the clutch on my GP1 is impossible.

You can buy an F1 Sim which is available with a clutch pedal. Or try.... www.racecar.co.uk/interactive_racing Wheel and pedals approx 150.00 UK, extra clutch pedal approx 60.00 UK. *Peter* 8-)

Hi Russ, Of course it will :) everything we do as a new accessory will fit the new TSW 2 and also older TSWs, this is one reason why they are the best systems money can buy<g>. Wait til you see a clutch equipped Formula model with a Momo wheel and Momo pedal pads, talk about ultimate realism :)! Trev
