I don't think so, as Jerome posted.
An used DS2 can be cheaper too.

@nursemorph , I wasn't aware about your physical condition, I hope you get well soon.

Dual Shock is a good piece of hardware but it's not very friendly with our hands for long sessions, anyway, X, O, triangle and square buttons of the DS2 are made of soft plastic if I remember well.

One of the benefits of a sreering wheel is that your fingers and hands won't get hurt anymore, as for your back, there are very comfortable cockpits in the market, or wheel adapters to be used when sitting on a couch, it all depends on your budget and available room though.

Thanks....it's been something I have suffered for some time, and after 3 surgeries I am worse than before. I used to be able to use the DS2 for 10-12 hours straight without it causing issues with my hands, so it may be better than the DS3...I think half the problem is the short grips on the DS3 makes you hold it slightly tighter to keep a good grip.

As for the steering wheel, yeah, I just can't sit for longer than 20 minutes at a time before needing to lay down for an hour, regardless of how comfortable my seat is (even in my recliner with a gel cushion, I can still sit for only short periods)...and then there would be using the pedals as well. Space-wise, I am a bit limited due to my double bed being in my living room :lol:. If, one day, my surgeon or someone works out what is wrong with my back and sorts it, then one of the first things I will get (after the obligatory bottle of wine of course :cheers:) is a wheel and pedals. :)
 
Love the R8 as per usual. New splits almost a full second better at the finish line!!!!

Submitted my lap, it's too bad I never got close to that .939 T2 but I don't see myself giving this another go without losing my sanity :scared:
 
One of the downsides of using manual gears is that you sometimes freak out on a good lap and double-downshift or worse, double-upshift. :ill: The engine just goes PBBBBBBbbbbbbbbb.....

I had both of those mishaps approaching the final corner on this lap, but it was still my best T3 yet. :lol: (Exact same time to T2)

Nice pass, Phil. 👍

Sounds like GT 7 with a nifty ds4 will be just the ticket. :)

Yeah.. maybe.. but my T2.. Spilt.. was over 1.xxx down on my best.. so there is a lot of time to be had.. also last night I had a faster total lap.. but my T1.. was over 56.. :( just a hard car to control with a DS3.. when going fast.. :ouch:
 
I had another go this morning, a short session. There is definitely a couple of tenths left out there, but it takes me a long time to get into the controlled mode I need with this combo. So splits submitted and accepted.

The combo really grew on me. The track has never been one of my favourites, but I understand it much better now. And thanks to @PASM , your T1 video gave me a good idea of the right balance of slide & control 👍

See you all in two weeks, I'm going real racing! :)
 
@Vagabond , @Gravitron , @Vaxen Sorry to poke you guys, but the registry was not updated with the latest promotions. The leaderboard was confusing me (the division markers), and I see why now.

Will the results show the true divisions if the racers don't resubmit (provided it can be fixed)?

Thanks guys 👍
 
No Submission from me this week, ps3 won't read any discs :mad: that sucks, i could have improved my time by 2 tenths at the minimum...

Yes, the results will reflect last week's promotions. 👍

Good luck in your real-life races! :cheers:
 
After several minutes of checking and checking and re-checking.... Well I didn´t listen the sound of the car touching the wall, so I think I might have judge it well... :)
