Was up yesterday at Barbagallo, today at Brands, tomorrow will change to Zandvoort. Pretty sure it was named xgn, had a few on the pther day at Barbagallo too was quite fun. Didnt try them at Brands though so may keep that up tomorrow or is that today lol.

Here is the timing for the 3 tracks.

Thanks Marty. I reckon the AWD will be the quicker of the two.

Feels like I need to push my break pedal through the floor to pull the AWD up...
Love the Porsche, but personally very tough to drive.

Thanks for already having server up too Marty  ;D

I found it a very easy car to overdrive, as it gathers a lot of speed. I got quicker by going slower :)

I think the AWD is easier to drive but actual laptimes they arent far apart. The AWD has a big advantage out of slow corners and off the line. Into lobger medium to high speed corners the rwd getting looser on throttle is a little quicker.

Should be a good mix and for those struggling a bit more on throttle with the rwd theyay be better jumping in the awd.

I prefer the RWD, it's a bit more of a challenge and can be a little more fun, however I haven't driven either of them extensively.

I'm going to try swapping my throttle and clutch pots over the weekend.  If this doesn't solve my issues I'm afraid I'm going to have to put myself out of all racing indefinitely.  Hopefully it does the trick though. :)

Why would you get out of racing "indefinitely" pots can be replaced, surely, with new parts?
Have you tried the manufacturer?
If that won't work, have you tried to ID the pot, see if jaycar sells it? (or even ebay...)

Or even; have you tried to see if someone sells the same type of set - maybe even "broken" - for cheap parts?

Sorry I haven't followed your pedal saga too closely; give us more details (maybe in a separate thread!) and I'm sure we'll sort it out one way or another.

Thanks Bird.  I've tried looking online for similar pot however there doesn't seem to be any that look the same.  There was one internet site that used to sell them for G25's, but that is no longer operating.  I haven't approached Logitech directly, but from the different forums I've read they will not supply parts as they cannot condone anyone tampering with the equipment.

I could buy a new set of pedals, I just can't justify it when I need to buy a whole new G27 for $300 just because of this little, but crippling issue.

I've looked into buying a separate second hand set of pedals from another manufacturer, but if I do this I need to buy new mounting plates for my wheel-stand which will cost quite a bit as they need to be shipped from Poland.  I'm also not 100% comfortable on having different brand wheel+gears+pedals

I only say "indefinitely" and not "forever" as I'm sure to return, but I just don't know when.  I may end up buying a whole new set of wheels and pedals.  It just seems a shame as I was quite happy with my little G27. :)

Hm...going from here, it's a pretty average looking pot:
http://www.thesimshop.com/
(got there from here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/g27-potentiometer.130692/)

Resistance   10.0KΩ
Power   0.5W, 1/2W
Rotation   300°
Package   23.83mm x 11.51mm

If the g27 is the same, you can probably walk into jaycar with the spec and buy one for a few bucks.
I'd recommend taking the potmeter out, and walking into jaycar for a matching one.

If all else fails, you can prolly pick a used one up on ebay, and have a few spare parts

Yeah, I think so.  I've looked up the specifications online and followed a few similar requests but have never found anything that looks like it will fit.

Yep, that's the website that no longer operates Bird.  I've plugged those specs into ebay, web, etc. but can never find any pots that look similar to the G27 pot.

Try here? (somewhat pre-filtered list - the rotation is not specified in degrees, but if you get a "one rotation" that should be close enough.
I don't think it's an issue, you just need to calibrate it.

Wait a sec....just check the rotation on those pots of yours.  The g25 maybe completely different.
This place talks about a very weird pot with only 70deg rotation
