Sorry my last post was utter rubbish.

Whats the better deal?

The driving force GT £60 (new)

or

The driving force pro £45 (new)

I can't tell the difference between these wheels, why is the GT £15 more? It is 1 inch bigger with some dials on front for brake balance, is this all?

Also was the pro top of the range for PS2
and the GT second in range for PS3?

It's been over a day and I fear the thread will die before someone makes a decision for me. I don't like making them myself...then there's on one else to blame :(

I used a Saitek R220 for 4 years flawlessly up until I upgraded to a R660 GT which is what I'm happily using today - also flawlessly. ;-)

Upon further investigation, I do very much like the DFGT, when it firrst came out ppl were compairing it to the G25 not the DFP, so it must be better than the DFP.

One really cool feature of the DFP though, is the variable lock, so you can set it to about 250 ish for F1 racing, does the DFGT have variable lock as well?

Whats wrong with [www.thrustmaster.com] ? I had Thrustmaster Ferrari FF steering wheel version (the one wich looks like 360 Modena wheel) before buying G25 and it worked fine for years in pretty heavy use (excluding some bugs with my WinXP). Solid as MOMO wheels and unlike those it didnt broke down.


And ven G25 is enought F1 stylish for CTDP1994 and other retro mods.. ;)

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

The issue with the Ferrari wheel was that it didn't work properly for a lot of people, probably driver issues with WinXP. However, if yours works, awesome ;).
