    Looks simply amazing, Wayne ... hoping to put together something similar in the coming weeks and months. We should get together back channel and rap about what series we're considering ... it would be cool if we could hook up in at least one, and maybe swap notes as we learn the ropes :idea:

    EDIT: These are the two that have me dribbling the most ...

    @Stone...the V8 supercar is just mind blowing...'violent' would be another word to describe it.!
    You need to get yourself onto the TTR forum as Madison(Mad94d) is the iracing guru.

    Can't get the GTP at work, so will check TTR later. I've got Prancing Horse in my corner (he's just up the road in Ballarat) and he's helping me out. Sorted for Win7 ... deciding if I need to upgrade my graphics card. Has Madison put you on to the OMR site ?

    Hey you guys into I racing, wanted to go that way but hardware and money a problem. A local lad Mitch McLeod is leading the V8 supercars at the moment i think, he won a trip to Germany not so long ago, he real quick at that but a 57 year old friend of mine beat him the other night on GT5 so he's sworn to practice it to get him back. Mitch's sister has just got a gig in the formula ford's real deal, real racing family, we used to go to the drags with their old man.

    Tell Mitch to be careful ... by all accounts, going back to GT can lead to some bad habits creeping in ;) Finally ready to set up my eyefinity (3 screens) ... should be iRacing this weekend. Will post pics of setup :D

    Now that's well sweet ... she must be stoked :cool:

    Yer she always been quick, beet all the boys at local go carting growing up and good looking to boot. Hey Mitch ended up winning the v8 championship, he brought all his I racing gear over to a friend of ours place over Easter, I was invited round to have a try but we were away for the day, spewing could have had a drive in the current V8 championship ford lol.
    If you go down the v8 path i'll let him know to look out for you guys.

    I got my new wheel today (g27), So before I get the full potential out of it, I have to modify my wheel rig a little, and finally get around to finishing it off. I have to mount the H pattern shifter and hard mount the pedals. I'm seriously thinking of making an inverted pedal box, still undecided. Then paint it up and take some photo's so I can show it off here.

    I drove a few laps with it today, just using the paddle shifters. First thing I noticed was the wheel is much quieter, and a :):):):)load smoother. The quality feel you get from the pedals is great. The brake pedal requires a realistic amount of pressure, which makes it heaps easier to use without abs. It's a shame I can't assign buttons though. And there is no "easy to reach" left and right view buttons, so I might have to convert to "cockpit view". Otherwise I'll find it hard to know when cars are beside me. I don't use surround sound either.

    It will probably take me until mid season before I'm back at full speed. So now would be a good time for you blokes to have a crack at the d1 title, haha ;)

    Anyway, when I've finished my rig, I'll post some photo's

    I use iracing a fair bit too. Im pretty average but a decent alrounder 1500ir Oval just turned level C. About the same road 1400ir just turned level C. Bought the star mazda and the chev truck this week, reckon i should be B in in both styles by the end of the current season.

    Can you hook up club sport peddles to your G27, and how much are they?

    Don't worry found the answer here.

    Driving Force GT wheels are on special at Dick Smith's for $89... that's dirt cheap! Spread the word to our unfortunate brethren without wheel.

    I'll get some pics up of my cockpit once I've got a place to live sorted. Who knows, I might even paint it!
