Anyone want to buy this game from me for cheap can have it. I dont have the time to play it as forza is getting in the way.
Fifa 2012 also for sale. PM me if interested.
Checked with OP to see if he minded me writing this, thought it would get better audience than classifieds. :thumbsup

A mate has a second hand G25 which is ACE, I'm sure the G27 will be every bit as good and some...........commit to using the H-shifter in simracers as much as you can, it is only when it becomes 'second nature' that you can enjoy the benefits (don't imagine for a minute that as you have a manual car it will be a skoosh, there is no clutch biting point, more of a switch and timing is key)

Genuinely can't understand how anyone can play F1 without a wheel set-up, but with it, it is magic. How different is the 'simulation' on the PC compared to console? I've tried Xbox and PS and the improvement over 2010 is very noticeable, more challenging but rewarding to boot.

Tell me about it, trying to get to the bottom of suspension set-ups in an attempt to top a mates time on the Alpine track in a 2-11, can get so close, so often but car balance still isn't spot on. Since I got my new wheel I am really sensitive to traction and struggle to get really close to the edge without backing off, that and manual/clutch shifting isn't as quick as the paddles, downshifting while braking smoothly, balancing the revs.........nightmare.

On that the sequential shifting on GT and Touring cars is a lot of fun :thumbsup
if evolution don't take care of it, redesign it
