Got my almost new G25 for £75. Just collected it and whole new game now. Have to learn again

Get yourself a bodnar box for your pedals it gives you more resolution and will make you faster.

I went from g25 pedals with bodnar box to clubsports with loadcell brake and I was faster with the g25 pedals with bodnar box.

If I remember right its about £24

I feel like we should all have a little practice and race together at some point. Maybe next weekend.

I'd be up for that.

Sorry I gave away my g25 pedals and bodnar box or you could have had mine for free.

thanks mate, got that link saved. I take it the box is inside the cable connector ?

What you see in the picture of it is the whole thing.

Seem to be starting to get the hang of this, after all my practicing being an average of around 1.06 with the mx-5 roadster at Lime rock, managed to get that down to 1.04 - although on a few races I have been wiped out just after the first corner when people have driven across the track (must practice rookie avoidance!).

Just done a qualifying session to try and start higher up the grid, was running a 1.02.324 average and managed a qualifying time of 1.01.413, was surprised at the sudden improvement

I really need to see a membership renewal offer.

Yeah as soon as you're running with a faster pack it's amazing how much quicker you can be without even thinking - it's partly the draft, partly from mimicking a good line. If you can shave 1 more second off that average you should be pretty competitive!

Yeah same here. Anyone know of one? I hear they do them on Black Friday but that's months away and mine is due next month. Was hoping to do the 12 month one.

Exactly the same for me with the laptimes! Even managed my first win last night :cool:

I've moved onto Okayama in the Solstice now and finding it pretty tough, the stock gearing makes it rather awkward. Lime Rock took so many laps for me to nail it, I get the feeling this is going to take even more.

You normally get some decent offers if your subscription has run out for a while.

anyone got triple 32" tvs for their rig seeing as i can buy 3 tv's for about the same price as 3 decent monitors it got me thinking how to make a half decent triple 32" tv stand, inspired by other PVC rigs i've come up with this prototype now just to build it :rolleyes:

It may need a bit more bracing but i cant see any fatal flaws in it in digital form

thougths ?

barmyllama · 16 Jun 2013 at 21:26

^^

Isn't there a danger of it falling forward under the weight, might need the side screens at a more acute angle.

ImMrChris · 16 Jun 2013 at 21:34

I would have thought most of the weight in the center with the center tv the force required to pull it forward would be quite high it'll be fun finding out :eek:

.Sean · 16 Jun 2013 at 22:02

Driving Force Pro or Driving Force GT? What's the difference?

MagicBoy · 16 Jun 2013 at 22:05

DFGT was the new version for GT5, with the twiddly manettino knob thing.

.Sean · 16 Jun 2013 at 22:07

Haha, alright thanks.

They seem to be going for about £70 second hand or £90 brand new. Are those prices alright?

Spils · 16 Jun 2013 at 22:29

Hit me up on the I-racing forums and you can have my G25 for less than that. As i cant do a deal with you outside the MM on here rules are rules. But as a fellow I-racer I don't mind helping you out.
