    It has been a long drawn out process of back and forth emails with Fanatec. Them trying to diagnose and help me fix the problem with my wheel. But just yesterday my wheel sighed it's last breath and did it's signature disconnect "during" a re-install of firmware. This basically now turned it into a very expensive brick. Doesn't even turn on.

    Fanatec, look as if they will be sending me a complete new wheel after this revelation. They will be doing a complete analysis on my old wheel to try and figure out the cause as it seems to be one of a kind so far.

    Let's hope I receive the new wheel soon! I'm looking forward to getting off the controller.

    So a wet version of Tokyo East in the offing.

    BTW, what are PD doing to get this kind of view of the races at the World Tour events? Presumably the driers are using the same version of GTS sports as everyone else, @JonoStan96, given your recent appearance in a top 16 event?

    Their servers allow them to save the raw replay in these Top 16 races and apply their in house broadcast settings. As far as I’m aware only PD can access these special camera options and HUD. Barring that, there is no difference between these and regular FIA races.

    After a long ordeal talking back and forth with Fanatec my replacement wheel has finally arrived home.

    Hoping this one lasts a little longer .

    It didn't fix it :(
    Lasted all 30 min in qualifying but then peaced out on lap 7 in the race. I quickly switched to the controller while racing.
    So it has to be a wheel base issue and not a rim issue.

    I enjoyed my brief time with the wheel. Back to the controller I go. :oops:

    It is like waiting for a 10 gear racing bicycle for xmas and getting a bicycle pump instead. :(
    The sad point about adding micro climate content like this, is obviously it will massively impact the way the track is used.
    The only positive about this pitiful update, is possibly we may race at RBR in the dry again, one day, maybe.
    I now am convinced that GTS will never provide us with tracks like Silverstone, Monaco, Twin Ring Montegi, Laguna Seca, Ascari etc. Why they dumped all of the "original" tracks is beyond me.:confused:
    As for Spa, it will possibly/probably come 1 day, but the rate and content of these updates is pathetic, as far as tracks are concerned I am bewildered that a later game, with FIA incorporated, would have so little tracks in comparison to its previous release GT6.
    Disclaimer: I possibly think my play station yearly update fee has impacted my passion on this issue. :mad:
    Sorry, had to vent my feelings :oops:

    Super_GT in his video from Salzburg gives some glimpses of the behind the scenes stuff from about 15:05 to 18:10. Have a look at

    Happy to say I have a full time job as of today. Now I don't have to worry about spending money on a loaf of bread.

    Just need my wheel and everything will be back to normal.

    Come and play PCARS2... Has most of those tracks..... once you work your way around the few little issues it leaves GTS in the dust. said it a few months back, if we could pick the best bits out of both games and merge them, we would be in racing heaven
