DFP users - sore hands?
I feel a bit of a berk opening this thread, but do any other DFP owners who've been doing a lot of autocrossing lately have sore skin on the insides of your thumbs? I think it's from a combination of having quite a high rotation (420 degrees) and driving extremely badly. They're not quite blisters yet but they are sore.

Anybody else have autocross-competition-related injuries?

after the first (and only) night of the rtdc i had a blister on the inside of my left thumb ... ever since ive taped it when i was planning on doing a lot of sawing on the wheel for longer times

Don't squeeze the feel, grab it very lightly and set FF bit lower if needed. Some real life racing guide mentioned this too, that often drivers squeeze too hard from wheel, you should grab lightly to feel all fine feedback from steering.

But material indeed is quite sticky in wheel, some biking gloves or even driving gloves if you like proper touch
I didn't get that with the DFP, but have developed a callous in my left thumb since I got the G25. Similar to what you'd get in your middle finger after lots of handwriting. I blame the stitching.
Chuck out the DFP and get a G25 with the LEATHER wheel!!
I used to get blisters with the rubber grips on my M$FF wheel...but since the G25...bliss!
I used to, infact I hated to default DFP wheel with a vengence, it used to get all sticky and sweaty after 20mins use.

Don't have that problem with the felt MOMO wheel attached with the Frex kit.
Tape up the wheel with duct tape, or wear gloves. Works well as does not letting the wheel spin around in your hands.
Oh, for crying-out-loud, Kev! You're crying about hurting yourself playing a freakin computer game? Of all the things I've ever heard....

Perhaps you could get that "hot sexy blonde sex toy shop owner" customer of yours to help you out with some products for your skin chafing problem...

I'm only poking at ya, you know that...
And I know you're only picking on me because you're jealous of my hot blonde sex toy vendor customer.

It not easy going over there for meetings though. She's got her shelves full of stock all over the place and she's inadvertently looking totally hot all the time, ...
have you asked her if she would like to add another dvd to her collection yet ?
Invite some crazy canadians too?

you do know thats illegal (small hint on where its legal) dont you ?
I always find it funny that you can't get porn until you're 18, but you can sex up people when you're 16 (and in Canada I think it is around 13-14). T'is silly.
Is 14 in Canada. I agree with you that it makes no sense, because you can have it, for 4 years, before getting to watch it. Total idiocrazy, if anything it should be the reverse, have kids learn for 4 years, then get to go do it.
i was thinking more in terms of performing rather than watching

Lmao!, can you imagine? Sales of Kleenex mansize would go through the roof!
[OT] Lol! [/OT]

I don't have any problems at all with my dfp, even though I race at full lock and ffb. Are you holding the wheel the right way? Maybe you should wear racing gloves .
The stitching on my G25 is giving me sore thumbs! Might have to get the old Sparco gloves out
women!
Hmmm.......mental picutre of Kev, driving LFS in those gloves...........
