I got a bit distracted last night, with the arrival of my works bits and pieces, so need to give it a propper go. Might even get my steering wheel and pedals out

I am thinking about getting a steering wheel to go with it, the new logitec one, but its not cheap at £99, so want to test drive one first

would you recommend them?

I have the old logitech one. It is good as it has a motor in it and loads up through corners. The only problem I find is the pedals slip on the carpet. IIRC mine cost about £80, but that was a few years ago now.

this is the one I have:

worth you keeping a log of those times on the ring, and posting them up in here

wibbly · Mar 10th, 2005, 09:07 AM

I actually took the plunge and bought GT4 last night on the way home from work last night....

Must have got carried away on the wave of euphoria on here about it...........

God, why am I soooo rubbish at these games!

I think I'm just a puddler on them.... best I could manage was 10.03 in the MCS, and 8.45 in the M5

Oh well, another one for the kids to show me up on I guess

Better than my best time in the MCS.

I only did two laps though. I had an enormous crash in an M3 round there though.
Probably explains why San made me use the MINI for work today....

I too bought GT4 last night. It's still early days, the Ring is excellent but the gameplay is so much harder the GTs of old. I have only played it on arcade mode so far, but have come last in every race!

Highlight of the evening for the wrong reasons was taking an 88 Volvo 240 GLT round Laguna Seca.

I'm beginning to wonder if there might be a market for JCW jimjams

I have my nice Works keyring though although I feel a bit of a fraud.
