Now I'll be able to take my simracing to the next level... I'm proud to announce that I'm now the owner of a new Logitech G25 racing wheel! ![]() ![]() Yeah, I know the picture quality's bad... It cost $398 (that's in Australian dollars), out of my own money, but it's worth every cent. A total of 900 degrees of rotation (that's two-and-a-half turns lock-to-lock), pedals with differing levels of resistance, ie. the brake pedal is harder to press than the accelerator, plus a clutch pedal and a stick shifter that can be switched between H-pattern and sequential modes. And that's real leather the wheel's bound with. After driving with it for most of the evening, I have to say it has the best force feedback I've ever experienced. It was also very enjoyable exploring proper clutch-operated manual shitfing, and being able to turn the wheel all the way around... Formula One cars are so drivable now. Totally worth it, I haven't had this much fun simracing in quite a while, and it's an infinite improvement over my old wheel. ![]() I'm just so happy that I wanted to share it with you guys. I'm definitely going to get years of fun out of this thing.

The only things I drink when simracing are Tea, Coffee and Water.

It's 23 inches, I believe. Funny story, actually... When I ordered the computer, the hardware specs stated that it would come with a 20-inch monitor. But when it came time to have the PC delivered to my house, the shop discovered that they had run out of 20-inch monitors, so they gave me the 23-inch one at no extra cost!
