appreciate the replys.

i know the new logitech wheel looks awesome, but its a heck of a lot of money, and the lack of buttons on the wheel is a minus for me..........so its a DFP.
force feedback-worth it?

I hope this doesnt sound too noobish, but for AGES, ive been using non-force feedback wheels.

am i missing out?

i love my old momo, it was the red FF version, but through sheer usage its now a non FF with a homemade mod added to it.

it seems that if it came to a vote the DFP would beat the newer black momo wheel, but is it really worth the money just for force feedback.

cheers for your time and comments

i agree, i was chatting to a guy who races at a local level at castle coombe.

he reckons its a matter of time b4 someone is badly hurt or worse.

i think the drivers are encouraged to drive at this "standard", because the powers that run the BTCC want the "armchair wreck loving" public to watch this style of racing. thus giving them the tv ratings.

its like gladiators on 4 wheels.

a technique that stirling moss used for real:

if a car was behind him and trying hard for a pass, he would sometimes let them by.
the reason being: he would then pressure that driver into making a mistake or overdriving and killing his tyres.

Quote from tristancliffe :Have you met him? I mean really met him. Not shaken hands and said hi kind of meet, but sat down and had a chat over a pint (of water)? I didn't think so.

I don't think you can make a judgement about a persons real personality from a 30 second burst of PR. But I believe I can make a judgement from seeing him interviewed during highs and lows, during PR bits and more informal bits etc etc.

Martin Brundle is a nice guy. And yes, I have met him, over a pint or two, when we bought his Piper Lance Turbo II off him several years back (when he was a current F1 driver). I can say that with fact.

i met alonso when he was just starting to drive for minardi, when others were walking by him not knowing who he was. and yes, you can judge a person to a degree from a brief encounter, one being someone i was very fond of but totally destroyed my ideas of being a "hero"

but thats another story.

and thats my pennysworth on this matter

peace.

all i was saying was, judge the guy by his racing talent.

and he has bucket loads of that.

Quote from tristancliffe :Because he's quite possibly the dullest driver ever. Boring to look at. Boring to listen to. Boring to watch drive. Just boring. Even Mansell and Kimi, two drivers noted for having boring 'TV Personalities' are at least exciting and cool in their own way.

Fisi just reeks coolness. He's always veri 'appy. Gotta love it!

have you met the man?

its a formula one RACE, not personailty competition.

who else other than alonso would have kept schumacher behind him for a dozen laps in an inferior car?

and yes, ive met him and he is a pleasent, nice guy who doesnt feel the need to cheat and thats why he is a worthy F1 champ.

alonso showed what a star he is by holding off schumi.........(surely, that H isnt needed!!!)

like the guys on tv said, it all started with MS's mistake in qualy, so only himself to blame.

a cracking race though, and i hope that alonso takes the title........he is a worthy champion.

ages ago a mate was scrapping his nissan micra, so i had one of the front seats. i made a base from MDF, and along with my old momo wheel has given hours and hours of fun sim racing.

at work they still take the p*ss though!

no, its for a wheel.

my old red momo was knackered, so i stripped it and used the good parts to make a custom wheel. im still using the pedals as they work fine,

many thanks for the link.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :Its better to have someone who is honest about not knowing much about F1 than Jim who pretended he did. Personally i would want martin to do the entire coverage on his own, interviews, grid walk, commentary...ALL of it

amen to that, imo he does a superb job. (and a nice guy to boot)

ive made up a steering wheel and have used a 100k pot.

many thanks.

my congratulations to jenson, well done mate!

plenty more of that please!!!!!

and he wasnt lucky, see above....he drove a storming race, just check out his lap times........

i feel for kimi and alonso...both robbed.

once again the scumaster shows his true colours.
win at all costs, even if it means breaking the rules.
i hope next time he is going for a podium position the guy he tries to take runs him off the track.
wewll done to pedro and nick for 2nd and 3rd.

a cracking race to remember.

So whats the deal with renaults mass damper system?

why after a season and a half has it has suddenly become "illegal?"

was it down to another team or teams that prompted the FIA to take action?

now that there is a testing ban on the horizon, things are looking very rosey for a certain italian team, or am i reading too much into this?

why the hatred of 4x4's?

and the comment about needing one because you are a wimp?

i say drive whatever you want to drive.

its not the cars fault if something stupid happens, but the drivers.

so get in your mini/fiesta/micra/nova and dont hate the bigger vehicles, they pay their roadtax too (at least i hope they do)

peace.

your instructor will teach you how to PASS your test.

once you have done that you will learn to drive.

be respectful to others, but treat every other driver like a complete idiot.

for example, if someone is at a junction, expect them to pull out in front of you.

good luck.
