I was just wondering is it possible to upgrade the F1 software on a 355 to be quicker/smoother? I know it's possible to upgrade the 360 to the Challenge Stradle software, surely it would be possible?

is not software its mechanical diffrences as far as im aware,

the system in the 355 is still a manual gearbox albeit with paddles.

the f1 system is completly diffrent in the 360 isnt it?

i might be in the minority but i dont see a massive difference between the 355 and even the 430. yes the 430 is more tolerant but i quite liked that the 355 had to be driven like a manual i.e. change gears at the right time, tiny bit of throttle required for smooth changes. Yes the 430 is better at pretending its an auto but in other respects its not a major leap forward - it still cant get up my garage ramp without burning the clutch for example and surprises with slow speed automated downchanges into 1st mid corner

Take it to Karl at Verdi and ask him to set it up for you, the F1 355 I toyed with buying changed smoother than any 360 I've driven and smoother than the 575 F1 I was torn between when buying my 550
