I also have the GTEye and love it. I've been reading more review today, and watching more videos. I think I'm gonna wait until the full reviews are out for the new Fanatec CSL Elite range. If I was gonna spend 700-800 anyway, maybe it's worth the few hundred extra. It does look pretty nice.

I also have the GTEye spring in my G27 pedals and it does feel pretty good. I'm still undecided; spent quite a bit of time today reading and watching videos. Not gonna rush out and buy something like I normally do!

Yeah. I don't really need it, the G27 is fine, but I have money burning a hole in my pocket, and I'm curious what the 300RS would feel like to use.

Maybe I'll wait until November and get those new Fanatec pedals first, then maybe the wheel after that. That way I don't need to faff around with adapters either.

its far from my best display.  :-\

Yet better than most  ;D

Am sure it will be all good Bruce! We just need to watch out for Gratulin as this was the track where he came inside Wally!

Ah nice. The rimotech one connects it to a thrustmaster wheel but making it usb is better. Looks uk based and the inlaws are coming over at the end of the month. Tempting...

Thanks slideways. I saw ricmotech had one but was thinking if I'd get the fanatec pedals in november I'd skip getting the adapter. Will check out the one you mentioned.

Done quite a bit of reading, watching etc tonight. I'm pretty tempted to go with the basic T300RS as gamesmen have it on sale for $429, then keep using my G27 pedals which have the brake spring mod (would need to have both wheels plugged in unfortunately). Then in November the new Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals with load cell come out for $329.

Although from what I've heard they have a new range coming out which is more reasonably priced.

Could be the CSL Elite stuff? They currently have a package for $1050 for wheel and load cell pedals. Still a bit more than I'd wanna spend, but much cheaper than their other stuff.

Cheers gb! I saw the 500rs is only 50 bucks more than the 300rs and the pedals look much better but will take another look.

Thanks Wally. Have you had a G27 in the past? Curious about comparisons and whether it's worth the money to upgrade or just stick with the G27.

Will do some more googling.

Yeah was looking earlier. Top notch stuff but a little too much for me at the moment.

So I sold all my camera gear, spent 800 of that money on Lego (hobby I picked up during my AC break), and have just about enough left that could afford a T500RS.

Anyone have one? Any good? Any other recommendations?

Currently running a G27. Probably won't bother with a shifter as I can't really use the clutch. That said I don't like the idea of not being able to use one should I decide to try, so I may pick one up in the future.

another shocker, hate reverse grid, always taken out and hit, i obviously do it wrong by giving people room, time to get the arms out and put up with penalties

Yeah take a leaf out of Grat's book ;)
:(((((( really unsure whether it's a compliment or a criticism... :(

Haha maybe a bit of both. I just remember one overtake last night where you did force your way through a bit with some side by side contact, but hey that's racing I guess.
I think you mean the one in race 1, lap 12.

May have been but no worries. I can't really remember now, but think I was surprised you went for the pass when you did and I had to take a bit of adhesive action and we rubbed panels. All good, you're much quicker than me and I often don't fight too much with faster people as better to loose one position then take both cars out.

I've also turned up my race 'aggression' level since coming back from my AC break. Before I'd just give in too easily being afraid of taking somebody else out due to my lack of skill, and understanding how much space there really is on the track, especially with single monitor. I definitely fight a bit more now and give just about as much room as I feel I should instead of half a track and loosing position.
