Just drove the car you have out there. It was a blast to drive and I think under the right hands someone here can pull some very fast lap times with this car :)

Thanks! Hopefully a few of us will be able to do so :)

Hey guys, it's been a while (although I still check in quite often). I'll probably be back racing soon enough since the baby is getting older :)

Anyway, question... does anyone know what's going on with the XBOX 360 wheel? Mine finally bit the dust and I was looking for a replacement. Apparently they're discontinued? So the only one left is the fanatec one (that I will not buy...)?? ACK>> I can't play with a controller!! Anyone have the inside scoop?

Glad to see you'll soon be returning Loth!!!

No clue about the wheel but my suggestion is buy one used on Ebay. I bought mine used for around $40 shipped maybe 2 years ago or so, sold it a few months ago for $50 locally...

I didn't go to work today (a lil' under the weather), I let a hired driver finish off season 5 while I did some reading...man, 11 rounds for the 5th season is brutal!

13 for season 6 may kill me...or my hired driver.

What's season 6, is that R1?

Yeah I'm on the R1 season also. Haven't started it yet, 'cuz I have zero practice in R1.

I probably won't make it this week. Wednesday nights are just bad timing lately.

For the R2 season I hired a driver for half the races. It's just too fast paced for me...

I got through R2, but it took a lot of rewinds and sometimes I ended up using a max-spec R2 to beat them ;) R1 is going to be ridiculous...

After the 5th season I probably still have 60-75% of the event list undone. There are SO many events!

I think I'm still on the R3 season. For the weekday races I went back to the lowest class and it'd change the choices to give me at least one race that I could run with it.

Any chance you guys would want to pool our money together and pick this bad boy up?

Although is it just me or is that a woefully inflated price...

I also notice they have it listed as "Front Wheel Drive." D:
