Yeah, great price for the wheel, but since getting mine last night, I've spunked another £150 on a Playseat as I didn't have anywhere to mount the wheel and didn't like the look of the stands...The wife was surprisingly okay with it all, she must have her eye on something she wants to buy, but hasn't told me about yet scratchchin Oh well, can always sell it if I don't get much use out of it (the wheel, not the wife)
What she hasn't told you yet is she's moving your ps4 stuff into the garage .

Tempted by the G29 but I've just bought a new TV this morning too! Looking forward to seeing GT Sport in HDR now (albeit 1080p as I've got a boggo PS4 and not a Pro!).. Anyone else playing in 1080p HDR?

Brilliant - just ordered one. My Thrustmaster died last night so hopefully this will be a bit more robust.

Only £18.99 for GTS on Blu Ray from Amazon as well, cheaper than the shifter.
Games dropping that cheap is normally an indication of bad sales. The last COD did the same
I'd agree, but as I understand it GTS has sold well, certainly in the first week it eclipsed Forza & PCars 2 by about 4 times.

I saw somewhere a suggestion its only a temporary price reduction but I don't know if thats true.

I'd guess it'll just be for Black Friday. I noticed that Argos have it for the same price so I cancelled my Amazon order and I'm going to brave the maul to go pick it up after work laugh.

I was slower for quite a while when changing to a wheel.

Yeah, SWMBO doesn't appreiate that the wheel was just part 1 of the expenditure... biggrin

You've changed seats?! Excellent! I might actually be able to keep up with you now laugh

I’m quite liking fighting the GTR and GTSR through the corners...

Grp X last night on N24 started with 8 racers and over the two laps we lost 5 of them after they bounced off literally every corner and rammed the remaining three of us off track.

The second lap was a lonely one with my friend having to coast and manage his fuel after spanking it all and I’d made a mistake on a corner which cost me 20 seconds.

The guy in first put in a blistering first lap, then attempted the second at the same pace, running out of fuel at mini carousel - id managed my fuel around the circuit and had just enough to go to 1 from the mini carousel... overtook first place on the second to last corner and ran out of fuel about a meter from the start finish - bloody great race.

Wheel was delivered earlier, wow what a difference - takes a bit of getting used to, but so much more fun to play than the controller - Beat my best time on the Nordschleife by 20 seconds with it on first attempt smile

Can’t wait to get the seat on Monday as I’m using an armchair that rocks and a wobbly ironing board to mount the wheel so it’s not the best environment
