A condition called "GT5 Knee!"

[Frozzy]

I walk a good 3 miles everyday of the year and go to the gym 4 times a week. Eat lots of potassium so leg and foot cramps isn't an issue for me. lol

Although I used to get leg cramps during races on GT5 with my G27 but no longer have that issue.

I just wanted to point out that you shouldn't hurt your meniscus from sitting and playing a game. It is more commonly injured with your foot planted and a twisting of the knee. A pre-existing meniscus injury could definitely get irritated by using a wheel though. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is probably your cause though, probably need to work on flexibility though.

I used to get hamstring tendinitis before I bought my stand. It was pretty sad when I would tell people why my leg hurt.


Stig, I think you need to harden up with all those injuries, not us. How did you manage to pull all that off?

Lol yea for real. I thought I was injury prone. I guess some people are just not built to be athletes....

I used to get pains in my back with my old "cockpit."

Never happened to me, then again, I don't sit in the same position for prolonged duration and am smart enough to take break, stretch, stand up a bit to break up rigor.

This. I never sat in my Obutto for longer than an hour at a time.

Luckily I haven't experienced any of this but I have experienced "lfs-foot" which was a really bad bruise on the outside of my right foot from incorrect heel-and-toe. It was excrusiatingly painful but still I wanted to play because I was enjoying it so much.

Haha, I got that from driving the Targa Florio in GPL. I'd not had my G25 for long, and it took a while to figure out how to heel & toe painlessly! I'd get about halfway around the lap (20 mins) and have to soldier on just the same.

Full FFB is fun but will shorten the lifespan of your wheel significantly. My G25 barely managed 2 years with full FFB in GT and rFactor.

ohh... 💡

yeah thats right... ill reduce the FFB

btw..

the difference from FFB 1-10 is for me no difference whats a bit strange

tried to use FFB1 at vettel challenge... but really no difference to FFB 10

so i thought "who cares?"
