Logitech g25 wheel is the best you can buy.

Playseat + G25 + Racing sims = driving bliss without having to worry about crashing and dying in flames.

Might set you back £300-350, but its worth it.

I expected it to be more like 600 quid. thats a bargain for 300

Robert1986 · 2 Sep 2008 at 12:30

Seat cost me £150 and the G25 cost about that too.

Does the gear stick move upwards? It looks a little low.

Actually, its perfect. Once you sit in the chair, the gear stick is easy to use. No stretching for it, unless you have really short arms.

I have a G25.

Am really tempted by that playseat!!! :eek:

Robert1986 · 2 Sep 2008 at 13:05

Its really comfy, I use it for my general gaming seat now and also like to sit on it while watchin movies.

can the gear stick be mounted on the british side?

Psymonkee · 2 Sep 2008 at 13:58

Judging from the website I found it indicates that you can.

Not sure why when you have FLAPPY PADDLES!!!

That seat setup looks quality, would consider one if its confirmed that you can mount the gearstick on the left as it would feel too weird changing gear with your right hand?

Psymonkee · 2 Sep 2008 at 16:10

read above

It is a separate add on (30 quid!!) and can be mounted either side...

If I wasn't up to my eyes in shiney new stuff already I'd prob buy one

There is the official wheel, The Driving Force Pro GT (an improvement over the DFP). Going to pick one up soon.

I've got the original DFP but haven't yet tried GT5 on it.

It is awesome with GT4 though so hopefully it won't disappoint!

I've got a Driving force pro (official GT4 wheel), it's utterly fantastic and when i bought it excellent value for money. However since i bought it the average price seems to have gone up from £60 to more like £90 :/

Robert did you buy the Alcantara playseat from the bay?

If so I`d be interested to hear your thoughts on it and stable it is etc. I`m planning on using it with a Logitech DFP so am assuming it would work fine with that without any need for modifications.

Really need something as I just cannot play F1, Grid, FC and GT5p with a pad any more lol
