Quote from SuperSmitt :

Edit: I was looking up prices of different racing wheels and following the advice of one of the posters here, looked for the Logi Driving Force pro wheel. I liked what I saw (minus the fact that it doesn't include foot pedals), but apparently this is a PS2 controller. Is there a version for USB?

I don't know where you have this information from. The Logitech DFP comes with pedals and does have a USB connector (there is no version without). I have one and don't want to miss it anymore

Being a "noob" by myself (well, played a few weeks S1 after release but had to quit soon lacking of time) I know how hard it is to keep the car under control (no other driving simulator driven since my old S1-expirence). For me the border of when being ready to join (not compete ) online-games is very hard to locate.

At the moment I'm refusing to join online-session and train offline several basic tracks with the XR GT instead. Building up a solid knowledge and feeling of a RWD-car. Now I'm already beginning to drive some constant laps without spinning off the track. With the feeling of having the car under control comes also the speed. The hardest lesson to learn was not pushing the car over it's and my limits. Big advantage is also that the tires will start to build up more grip. When you're resetting the car (in offline-training) after every corner the tires are always at low temperature = less grip = more frustation.

I think (you tell me) that's about the time to join online races and learn how to drive with other cars on the track.

But maybe you need to be 28 years old (and therefor have the money to buy a steering wheel when you are in the mood) to go this way.
