I spotted this wheel today at PC World, it looks to me like Thrustmaster's attempt at a Momo, and certainly looks pretty good to me. Has anyone seen or heard anything about it?

I was thinking along the same lines. I know a nifty shortcut through the back streets of Monaco that might come in useful.... Then, i plan do lap in the 1m30's, while still running at Ayses pace, yet continuing the use of my shortcut.

Wow, that's a real MOMO copy isn't it?

Damon · 23 Sep 2003, 18:23 (Ref:727980)

It looks like it, but I can't find any reviews of it anywhere. The box was bloody heavy mind, so it was either lined with lead waits or made from good quality stuff.

pirenzo · 23 Sep 2003, 19:21 (Ref:728034)

I bet somehwere on it, you'll find a logitech logo they forgot to get rid of

**Aysedasi** · 23 Sep 2003, 19:40 (Ref:728055)

Yes, scratched off with a blunt chisel.......

Damon · 23 Sep 2003, 19:54 (Ref:728063)

just spotted how I spelt "weights"

.

pirenzo · 24 Sep 2003, 07:12 (Ref:728411)

They'll have done a good cover up mind you. We might have to look on a circuit board, or the inside of a bearing or something.

**Aysedasi** · 24 Sep 2003, 12:36 (Ref:728666)

Probably no bearings in it. Just elastic bands and clothes pegs.....

It's my wheel! (when the soddin' computer is working that is.)

I quite like it. It seems a robust wheel. It is very substanstial and it doesn't seem like it's going to fall apart any time soon.

The pedals are nicely weighted and have a nice feel.

The only thing is my throttle pedal failed. I haven't taken it apart to have a look but it could be something simple. Besides, I went over to using the analogue paddles behind the wheel and found it suits me better.

Damon · 25 Sep 2003, 16:31 (Ref:729879)

Hows the force feedback Spud? And (to keep us on topic) will you be joining us on sunday/tuesday or are your computer troubles on going?

**Spudgun** · 25 Sep 2003, 17:06 (Ref:729917)

Well I'm away at a friend's place this weekend where we'll be trying to fix the thing. So hopefully I'll be back in business for Tuesday (and very rusty!).

As for the FF on the wheel, I like it. I haven't tried any other wheels for comparison though.

Damon · 25 Sep 2003, 17:28 (Ref:729933)

Certainly sounds good, I'll have to see how my finances look after Christmas

.

pirenzo · 25 Sep 2003, 18:37 (Ref:729987)

oh it's the praccy race this Sunday isn't it?

I probably won't be here.

I guess me and ayse were wrong to joke about the wheel then

**Aysedasi** · 25 Sep 2003, 18:46 (Ref:729997)

Yep, it sounds OK after all. Is anyone going to be around on Sunday?

pirenzo · 25 Sep 2003, 19:06 (Ref:730024)

Well, i might be around, but since there's no GP, i forgot about the praccy and made other arrangements. I'm gonna be back for the GP, and i will be here all Saturday if you want to move it to then. I should make it for the real thing, but i don't really know, because i'm in a bit of a mess with homework and other stuff atm.

Tony_Simpson · 25 Sep 2003, 19:58 (Ref:730080)

I am racing in Birmingham, so I will not be back till late, I am afriad.

GOod news is I should be returing to racing soon. I have seen a new wheel, so I should get it. Watch out

pirenzo · 25 Sep 2003, 20:00 (Ref:730081)

when, tuesday or sunday?

**Aysedasi** · 25 Sep 2003, 20:02 (Ref:730084)

Well, I'm happy to run a race on Sunday at 2.00, but unless there are at least three of us there, I don't propose to bother.

I'm actually feeling a little rusty. I haven't driven for three days...... - shock horror!

pirenzo · 25 Sep 2003, 20:11 (Ref:730093)

Ayse last time i drove Monaco, it was to try to break into the 26's in the Lotus (on the back of my 27.2 in the Cooper)

A miserable session saw me doing 23 laps, and a best of 1m28.9

I'm not confident for Tuesday at all.

Damon · 25 Sep 2003, 22:59 (Ref:730251)

I haven't driven GPL since my uber lap at the Ring but I'll be about on sunday if there is a race to attend, I'm guessing ozy will be there too?

**Aysedasi** · 26 Sep 2003, 08:21 (Ref:730515)

Well, I'll be in the chatroom on VROC for 2.00 p.m.ish - we'll take it from there. But as I say, 3 drivers has to be the minimum - I'm not desperately keen to run an hour's practice and a race for 3 people........

Tony_Simpson · 26 Sep 2003, 16:09 (Ref:730946)

Sorry, I will not be there on the Sunday, I will be there on the Tuesday, to watch the race (and wishing I was racing)

rdjones · 28 Sep 2003, 11:31 (Ref:732695)

Sorry guys I am going to MIA this afternoon, something has come up. It also looks like I am going to missing on Tuesday too.

Damon · 28 Sep 2003, 11:51 (Ref:732703)

Hopefully Ozy, pirenzo and Ayse will all decide to show then. See you on track soon then Rob.
