I've got the G25 and only use gas and brake. It's not a problem when you left foot brake. The G27 has smoother gears inside the wheel it's self, helical instead of straight cut. I think the only bad point it has is that the shifter cannot be put into sequential mode, it is only h-pattern. But when driving the V8's i have to use the paddle's any way, 1 hand off the wheel near a corner spells trouble. :)

Why did they get rid of the sequential mode on the G27? Not asking you specifically cunny :-) just putting it out there!

Oh plops i like the rally style sequential stick as it goes, can never find those flappy things properly.:dopey:
 
Don't know Sy, bit of a blooper if you ask me. The paddles are metal and feel fine. If your driving something less powerful or just taking things easy there is something pleasing about using the sequential shifter. I got mine just as they were getting ready to bring out the G27, £100 brand new from Play.com - BARGAIN.

I'd like the G27 but I've read reviews that the wheel becomes off balanced or something and doesnt turn as much as it should :scared: I was thinking about a G25 - there seems to be no problems with that one
 
Yeah they are but that's why theyre a dream! I think they're compatible with the G27 pedals, if that makes it any cheaper!

I understand it, but try not to get too interested in it. Same with Bowls and Curling. Still end up watching them though.

Forget not da Swifts, which is an important series for multiple V8 participants. ;)

BTW, I actually made a bet for the championships... Spain vs Russia in the final :cheers:
