Yes, I just bought it and feels good, I can't wait for Thursday.
Now, as an answer to a dead thread (apologies to the moderators, original thread is so old that no notification is going to be displayed)
in an earlier conversation someone asked should I use gloves? And someone recommended bike bar tape on the steering wheel.
As promised, bike bar tape on the wheel...
The grip is so much better. If you just play GT Sport is not worthy, but if you play PCARS or anything with a stronger FFB you might want to look at this.
Advantages: grip. It also makes the steering wheel thicker, which can alleviate some forms of light finger arthritis (like the one I personally suffer solely because of sim-racing). And it protects the real surface of the wheel. In 5 years time, when SONY/Logitec screw us forcing us to upgrade again you can remove whatever tape you used and the wheel will look like new. And... looks cool.
Disadvantages: If you leave that on your wheel for too long it could damage the original surface, there must be a determined time recomended to change them (perhaps every six months? or something like that?) The tape is cheap, this one is from a profesional racing team, but I got it for £5 in Ebay in a last second auction. Installation is not easy, but it takes no more than 15 minutes. If the tape comes with sticky line in the back it can be a bit messy to install, but totally worth it!
I hope this can help someone, it is definatelly working for me.
