    I was planning on getting one of these for GT5. Do they work well when on your lap sitting on the couch? I don't have anything to clamp it to.

    you probably could use it on your lap but it'd be sh1t. if its something your going to use a lot then a wheel stand pro is worth every cent.

    i have one and its much sturdier than it looks. you can leave everything attached to it and it just just folds so theres no setting up time when you want to use the wheel.

    Yeah, looks very well made. It's going to make Gran Turismo my most expensive game ever. €125 for the wheel stand, €100 for the wheel and €60 for the game.
    I do like driving games though, and its something the PS3 badly lacks.

    F1 2010 is a quality game if you play it enough to learn the tracks. Cant wait to play it with my wheel and stand.

    Got the Wheel Stand Pro today and been playing F1 2010 all day. Great setup I must say. I still need to get used to it but its so much better then a controller. Recommended!!

    Which wheel you are using on that wheel stand?

    Did your order arrive in 4 days? Impressive

    I found this Wheel Stand Pro very similar to Fanatec product
    price is similar too. What do you think?

    I'm not paying mad money for a wheel, so I invested in this Logitech Wheel
    Logitech Wireless Wheel

    It feels ok, not overly heavy on the legs, flappy paddles at the back for accelerator/brake or gears. Maybe a cheap and cheerful alternative to some of the more expensive wheels. Very customisable as you would expect from Logitech. I started taking some serious time off my laps when I began using this wheel.

    I bought myself a Logitech Driving Force GT on Saturday for 99 from Argos.
    Set it up and was struggling with making it work properly on RBR and Dirt2 about 2 hours :]
    Finally all works fine and after few tries I managed to out do my own record on one stage very quick....
