What cars have you guys mainly used in the S events? I just can't seem to get it right with the GTR... S1 for example.

I am about to buy one of those Logitech G25 stearing wheels for the PS3,before I go out and buy it,is this the best stearing wheel to get for gran turismo prolog,I seen there is two other Logitech wheels,Driving Force Pro and the newer Driving Force GT,are any of these ones better than the G25,wasn't sure if the Driving Force GT was better because it is newer.

As has been said many times in this thread it's the best 'mass production' wheel you can buy.

Just look at the price points of the logitech wheels on their website, that tells you how good each is in respect to the other, and the G25 is king!

G25 is the best, keep in mind you will need to find something to attach it to as well - its a beast

Ok thanks for that,I will grab the G25 today,dicksmiths have them on special for $298.
For the time being I was just going to attach it to one of those sawbenches I seen someone on here using,looks like it will do the job.

I've got mine attached to a 750mm high saw bench too - it works quite well.

Yeah looks like it will work pretty good,and saves me paying a few hundred for one of those proper sitdown cockpit ones for the time being,I will probably be happy with the sawbench and not worry about buying anything else.

Can anyone recommend the Logitech Driving Force EX ? I can pick one up for under $100 at the moment, but can't justify spending the extra cash to get the g25

Don't eat for a fortnight, all my friends regret not spending that little more for the G25.

If you really can't get the G25, the lowest-spec steering wheel I'd go for is the Driving Force Pro.

I was looking at the Driving Force Pro with it's 900 Degree steering and the same force feedback as the Driving Force EX but lacks paddle shifters.
I even tried using my old Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP last night to get a feel of what it's like to drive the Lotus Elise 111R Tuned, that half worked but the wheel was vibrating so badly at times and became undrivable. The thing I noticed though was that the pedals were perfect and I was able to brake and accelerate without any of the snap oversteer you would get with the PS3 controller.
I just bought the PS3 Prologue pack with COD4 last week and I don't thing the missus is going to be too happy with me spending another $300 on it at the moment

Well i sold all my cars and bought the F1 thinking you could just win all the S races and make money real quick

BUT

I know what you mean took me about 100 tries

just stay calm,brake and turn in early and try not to hit anyone or get hit

Oh and allways try to pass on the inside,try to position your car so that your on the inside line for the next turn then get em under brakes

I finally got around to connect my g25 up last night... OMG! Makes it sooo much easier! On my first lap I shaved 0.4s my suzuka east lap time using DC5R (that's with a mis-shift

) And now the R35 is much more drivable as well
