After seeing a video on you tube of seeing some guy drift a t350 around the complete track on GT5 I want to go and buy the game as a cams pressie but I also want to get a wheel/pedals/ shifter for it.

The one in the video i saw was giving the guy feedack like a simulator one would. I only want to spend about £100 on one. Are there any out there that can do this for the money?

I have seen a dew expensive ones with 3 pedals, does the clutch actually perform like a clutch in the game?

Any pointers greatly appreciated. Any advice or anyone local to s. Wales with one willing to let me trial it for 10 mins will be great.

Really you want a Fanatec (about £350) or a Logitech G27 which are £230 in some places, both have clutches which work very well.

The only wheel worth considering in your budget is the Driving Force GT which is around £80 although it doesnt have a clutch so makes drifting much harder. With the Fanatec you can drop the clutch, build the revs and launch the clutch up to get a drift going!

Wheels are great (I have the old Logitech Driving Force GT), but without a decent seating position your back will be killing you after ten minutes. If you're going to be spending loads of cash, might as well spend loads more and get a proper racing seat smile I don't have one unfortunately, so I rarely use the wheel frown

How do people actually sit with thier wheels? The Logitech's we've got at work clamp to desks, but if I'm on my PS3 I'll be sat on the sofa so don't really have anything to clamp it to. I quite fancy GT5 but having dabbled with GT3 years ago there's no way I'd want to buy it without a wheel and peddles.

I have the Fanatec Carrera wheel.

http://www.fanatec.de/webshop/new_eu/product_info....

It has most of the features of a G27, but for £130

The quality is great, and you can change degrees of rotation, force feedback level, linearity and deadzone on the wheel itself.

And theres also the option to upgrade to the clubsport pedals later on, which are supposed to be amazing.

The only bad point is that the table clamp is a bit weak, but both the wheel and pedals have hard mount points to screw them to a racing seat.

You need a Wheel Stand Pro or the Fanatec Rennsport Stand.

i have a fanatec GT3 RS wheel on order with standard pedals for £250 but currently running a driving force GT. TBH its perfectly suitable if a clutch pedal isnt a must! Only problem i can find is that the force feedback is incredibly loud when you go against full feedback.
