Had chance for a quick try yesterday, wow it really does transform the game after playing on pad, managed about half an hour and got back to about where my pad times where (from last few combos I've done), so much easier to be smooth.

However I now need a new chair... Chairs with wheels really aren't suited to driving with a wheel lol
Get a thick rug, that's what I did until I got my mancave setup, seriously it works, and when you get something to attach the wheel to, the clamps are usually crappy so put some blu-tac in there smile

Cheers mate, it did dislodge from the desk once actually but I think that could well have been me not tightening up the clamps enough first time, hasn't moved since but will keep the blutac idea in mind, or just hard mount it if it keeps doing it.

I always had my wheel moving and sometimes pulled off my desk. Solved it by taking 2 thin plastic washers and cutting a straight edge on each. Then screwing them to the underside edge of my desk. So that they line up with both clamps (straight edge of the washer against the clamp) and prevent them being pulled towards me.

Pick one Jezz!

I'm disappointed I won't be able to use my G29 till next month I think as I can't quite stretch to a Playseat and no way of mounting my wheel in the short term :-(

Another recommendation for the wheel stand pro here. I've been using one for years. Folds up quickly and easily to be moved out of the way. A playseat on the other hand, is a part of the furniture....literally!

playseat challenge looks the best for me , i think it was recommended many pages ago.

it folds up and will fit under my bed or in my cupboard (along with half of my scirocco lol).

it's about £160 and by the time i've bought a wheel stand and an appropriate chair that I then have to have sat around in my room it just makes sense to get the playseat smile

If we're going Monza what about the HUYUYUYUYUARARARARAAAA thingy...I had this combo in my career just the other day (one of those trackday style challenges) it's quite tricky.

Will give the Gulf a blast in the meantime though.

After the Suzuka trial, I am never touching the Huayra again.

not sure on this combo. For large parts of the track I feel like I'm not doing anything. to get the improvements is all in the braking and apexes though.

Definitely underpowered for the circuit, but I can imagine for a race with everyone slipstreaming this would be a lot of fun.
