Post by Antonov »

Do some members on here use one? I'm considering getting one for in the living room (PS4 console).

I was wondering if there are recommendations?

I wonder why race cars don't come equipped with game pads.

A decent office chair will do as good a job and you dont have to pay a premium for the stickers. Personally I like IKEAs Markus although it could do with a bit more lumbar support.

is a wheel so much better an experience? If so, which would you recommend in the £100 - £200 range? (PS4 compatible)

What do you reckon it would be like driving a real car with a gamepad or keyboard rather than a wheel..... :whistling:

I never imagined Chaz Mostert to be rocking the 80s German pornstar look.

I think the hair and the mo are an iso boredom thing he did for the V8 eseries. Noticed this last week he was interviewed and the mo was gone. I think he copped a lot of flak on social media and TV... the commentators in the e-series (Crompton Skaife Larkham etc ) all gave him a bit of grief over the look.

Will Power was doing great until he lost his pornstar tash as well.
