True but a wheel that won't slide or come off every other lap and with a paddle shifter that will go from 2nd to 3rd rather than 4th would be nice.
So, with what we know so far, which spot is the minimum cutoff? I want to say it's 40th.
). I ran a 1:17.988 where going into village it went from 5th to 1st in one pull. So to get proper downshifts without double-triple-quadruple dumps I have to be very careful with the paddle. Pulling it in and back out. 
Is anyone here who runs 2:17-2:18's using a wheel other than the G27? I am using a DFGT and wonder if I am just wasting my time trying to get it to work!

Hey man, IMO if you have the pace which it seems you do, I'd go for it and work my ass off the next few weeks. I am also not in very good shape at all but plan on killing myself getting back into shape if I do make it. It's basically a once in a lifetime opportunity, who knows where you will be or where GT Academy will be by next year, it may be non existent. Strike while the iron is hot my friend
