It'll probably be a bit more expensive then that, but if it's cheaper then the other one it already works for me. Besides, the ThrustMaster is probably expensive cause of the Ferrari logo. Thanks for the tip Zep

AAAAAHHHHHH If you can help it please avoid thrustmaster wheels, seriously, I've had two from them and both broke within a year. Logitech Wingman FFGP's are awesome, especially if you're not used to sim racing with a wheel. Dunno what the conversion is, but I got mine for about £30 -EDIT- Google is your friend 1 British pounds = 4.06796317 Brazil reais so about R$120 for you then Its probably expensive because it is a 2 in one wheel for both PC and PlayStation 2 games I can use it for GP4 when I am playing in my PC and then for GT4 or Need For Speed Underground when playing in my PS2... I had a Formula T2 Thrustmaster before that Sidewinder, I broke the little gearbox after 3 years playing it with GP2 and GP3, but it was because I was playing like Yuji Ide I dont think that the thrustmaster wheels are of bad quality... its just a matter of being careful with what you do with them. Forcing them do to things they can't do is the main reason why they break easily... Since i've been driving with the new wheel I had a better and smooth approach to the corners, just like Jenson Button does ;D I dont know if it is because I'm avoiding to break the new wheel again or because it is really good, but my laptimes seem to be a little bit better now

Thanks for the tip Zep Well it has Ferrari merchandishing license, because its a wheel based on their Ferrari GT car, but I still think that it is because its a multiplataform (PC/PS2) wheel... And I am thinking about painting that ferrari logo, replacing for the Honda Racing F1 Team logo ;D

I found the Logitech MOMO Racing Wheel for R$380. If I get a wheel, it'll be that one

God, the last one I had didn't even have a proper mechanism for turning, it was two ropes and a pulley inside the wheel! Viper: MOMO's are good, wish I could afford one of those

lol... exactly the same i've seen @ FNAC store... its R$499,00 if I remember well ;D The description of that wheel stands that it has gear shifting behind the wheel and other for manual shifting on the right side... leaving to you to choose which one you prefer... but I didnt saw it in the box so thats why I decided to buy another... EDIT: OMFG, it really has both options of gear shifting... how fuckin' blind I am www.benchmark.co.yu/tests/preview/logitech/momo_racing_fb_wheel/momo_racing_01.JPGNah, I like the one I have, very far better than the one i broke ;D And I can use for PS2

No racing for me this weekend.
Slippy slidey down the board, if I get another win, ever, I'll be amazed...

Sorry to hear that man. There are plenty of races to go yet though...last year I didn't race in 4 of them I think and I still won...and that was with the crappy 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 point system

Well i whipped out the old wet setup today. First mistake i made was not changing my tyres to soft wet, so it was like driving on ice without brakes, not fun. Then once i changed to wet's it was much easier. I managed to get a time of 1.29, but one is hoping to get that down around the 1.25 mark with a little more practise.
