    So, haven't been at home much yet these holidays, but loving the new wheel! :D A bit of a learning curve though coming from the DS4, definitely slower, more inconsistent for now, but at least I have a big grin on my face every time I spin out! I did beat my Monza time though in the Lewis Hamilton challenge with the wheel being much smoother through the low speed chicanes.

    The force feedback is great, have fiddled with the settings in GT Sport a bit and have currently settled on 3/2 force/sensitivity. Loving the transducer too, you can feel it through the wheel and the pedals on the Next Level Racing wheel stand pro.

    The stand is solid too and packs up quickly, which is a must for me as it needs to go in the corner (along with the TV) after each session. Anyway, a lot to learn!

    You'll pick it up quickly. You'll never want to go back to a controller

    Yeah, only came second last in Race C last night (starting from the back on second account), but then up to 5th on the next attempt. Just gotta put in the hours

    The TGT is good, u will go backwards at times but soon get the hang of it. Are you using the brake mod? Don't let it frustrate you in the early stages, it's definitely the way to go.... Good luck with it....!!!!

    No frustration. I've only had two sessions on it so far (not at home at the moment). Haven't tried the brake mod yet

    It's a good stand. Would be nice to have the screen stand also, but would be much harder to pack away in that instance

    First FIA race on the tgt tonight at Tokyo. Pretty happy with it, qualified 4th, but slipped back to 11th by the end after a few minor incidents, nothing too bad. No penalties or major DR down so happy enough with my pace. Onwards and upwards!

    Fitted this load cell mod last night. Rated at 20 kg and feels pretty good without shoes, just will take some getting used to.
