[Gedi69]

I have a DFGT, but it's too much of a pain in the arse to set up.

I know that 1 lol

Here in Brazil the DFGT is $200 more expensive than a G27, not sure if it's like that where you guys live...

Nah try the other way round DFGT is the cheaper 1.

Seriously, I went to a electronics store and the G27 was R$1400 (around US$700) and the DFGT was R$1800 (around US$900).

 

[Matty]

Yep. Its shaping up nicely.

Also GTP_Paul_Mac, Season 4 Independents champion, has agreed to be the TOCA Season 5 test driver providing background data and comparisons on the cars and any potential Season 6 entries.

You can't really say Season 4 independents champion when we only had (3/4?) races..

Seriously, I went to a electronics store and the G27 was R$1400 (around US$700) and the DFGT was R$1800 (around US$900).

Got mine brand new in Argos for 100euro, roughly $250.. Or R$500.

Lucky you, I'm still using my DS3.

 

[Matty]

Yeah but when I got my wheel my PS3 broke a day or so later, so in turn I had to pay another 250euro to use it..

Ok, that was bad luck.

Might sound stupid, but the Focus racers need to limit their engines to 305HP, right?

DFGT is only $99 here

 

[Michelin]

Send me one then please.

 

[rustyMercedes]

Send me one then please.

maybe...do you have paypal?

If the DFGT cost $900 here I would be out riding a decent used motorcycle instead of racing online! Though I'm sure I would still race online with a DS3 👍

Nah, I kid. I'm pretty happy with the DS3.

But $700 is about £460. And G27s in this country are onl;y £200-250.

 

[Tom]

I paid £140 for my G27, brand new. Shipped it back on the plane and here I am today, although it break after 3 weeks but I managed to fix it...

 

[gokartman78]

Akmuq and Kartman have decided on a team name. It may shock a few....i will let the team leader announce it

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Early signs are the Volvo team will be called "Farmphibian Racing" yet to be confirmed however.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm actually somewhat surprised that JB has buzzed into the series, but I guess summer frees up space for several people.

I hope to make half the races Carb anything else is a bonus. Hense our team will run as a trio.

 

[Chqr]

All these horror stories of breaking wheels and disconnecting pedals and whatnot have scared into buying another wheel.

I bought a DFGT albeit used and it wouldn't calibrate properly so I couldn't use it properly.

I'm happy with my DS3.

 

[Akmuq]

Introducing Scuderia Venom, using the Nissan Skyline with akmuq and gokartman piloting the cars.



Oh and by the way, did a quick practice and could only get a 59.8 round Tsukuba, you sure these are even? :/

 

[V8-Johnboy]

Stu Ovlov sent mate

@ Akmuq if the times are not close here at Tsubuka isnt it going to be exaggerated elsewhere? God i hope not.

 

[Akmuq]

Granted the people who set times are some of the faster drivers but realistically I should be up there, I've got the pole here in Season 1 and Season 3, if it were some other track I wouldn't take much notice.
