Just ran a couple of races in the Porsche for the first time. Did a 1.02 something.
Oh, and I have a niggle. The start procedure is b****cks. You don't get time to get your revs set. There's all the fancy camera work then go......
Why have you got ABS on? It's loads easier to brake without locking up in 3. You can really take the piss in the Evo and it still grips. I'd never dream of dabbing the brakes mid corner in Forza 2, but you can get away with it in 3.

That comment is spot on, the brakes are massively better with pedals. Using the Fanatec pedals I have to push the brake so hard to get a lock up, that my chair rolls back. I've had to put a block under my rear wheel!!
The physics jump is similar to the one taken from GT3 to GT4. The...
It's not hooked up to the seat as the mount for the wheel won't fit and the pedals are too wide. :( It's on my desk though.
Christ it's hard having to use a proper shifter and clutch! It's a lot easier in real life. lol
I set mine off from the website for the console sat next to me. It moaned that it was assigned to my consle at home, so had to force the download to start on the console.
Funny you should ask that, I was just going to comment that it feels a little pedestrian, even in the R3 Porsche. I'll try the R8 in a bit.
Really should be doing some work TBH.
Tried the Ferrari. Feels very different, grip levels feel much higher. Putting it sideways is way more progressive.
Visually it's a massive improvement but but still short of GT5.
Anyway, I've got s**t loads of work to do.
They've not announced the price yet. It's pc/ps3 only. To be honest, it's not massively different to the g25.
Nice one Paul. The stand is a must. I don't know what do do, I can borrow the wheel from work, but then have nothing to attach it to!
Bad news Gareth. The Fanatec wheel won't go on either the Logitec or MS mount for the Wheel Stand Pro. Understandable as they make a competing product. I need the table clamp gor work as it's not ideal on a desk with a metal bar at the front.
Paul, if you are serious about your 360 racing...
Turbo S with Clubsport pedals is the setup you want, unless you don't need 360 compatibility. http://www.fanatec.de/webshop/new_eu/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=62&osCsid=c46f12c47a9fa0eab2ea8219ca72c040
It works out around £430.
If you only want PS3/PC then get the GT3 RS with CS...
I've got both. The GT3 RS has a lovely feel as it's suede trimmed, but it's PC and PS3 only. The Turbo S which I'm now using is 360/PS3/PC so I'm using it on the 360.
I can't be bothered to write a review or anything, but I will add that this wheel will be coming home with me every evening and weekend once Forza 3 is out. I'll use my MS wheel for now at home
It's so nice to be able to play DiRT2 on a smooth belt driven wheel.
Please excuse the state of my...
I could murder a coffee. I've not left my desk since I got here this morning. I had a doc to deliver. All done now, so I can go for a piss and a coffee followed by a quick stroke over the wheel.
