With the new release of F1 2010 and the soon arrival of Gran Turismo 5, i feel i should get a steering wheel to get involved online.

So with a budget of up to £100, maybe more if i get carried away, what shall i get?

Logitech....whichever model fits your price range.

They are a very good manufacturer in my experience.

I bought a Logitech Driving Force Pro about 2 years ago for £50 - reconditioned, but still looks like new even now! Sorry can't remember where I bought it, but it's very impressive.

Here's an Amazon link, but there is not stock frown

Here's one for £100:

The Logitech DF GT is fine. Not as good as the G27, but way cheaper. Also works with a PC, has sequential shift or "paddles" on the wheel.

Enjoy it biggrin I was playing CM:Dirt (the first one) on mine last night after it had gathered dust for a year or so and I'd forgotten how much fun it was - love the change in feel over different surfaces...

I just bought this too.... been playing a bit of Dirt and GT5Prologue....

I have to say, its fun but.... I am way faster and smoother with a joy-pad than the wheel.(Logitech DFGT).

I wonder if it is the physics or the wheel (or just me!). I just cannot get on with it at all, After doing track days the wheel just doesn't do it for me. If I need to do a quick lap or race to progress I just whip out the controller and smash it with the trusty old D-pad.

Has anyone else found this or got any recommendations for setting up the physics or wheel to help this?!
