Tuner section, HPA Motorsports. Unlike the factory tuners, in the bottom right, you can get complete vehicles. In retrospect, I shoulda picked the Spoon S2000 Race Car & 100k in mods... oh well, there's always next week.

Well, my driving force pro arrived yesterday and...smelled like electrical smoke as soon as I fired it up. Fricken thing did not work. New one coming tomorrow though hopefully. Sucks having to stare at this contraption that dosent work. It sure looks cool.

I know I can do better but quite honestly I'm having a hard time staying interested in putting around in a rice-burning VW since I recently aquired a pair of group c racecars.

Well I wanted to run it with the polyphony formula car.. but then everybody would have to run the Nurburgring 24 hour enduro. However, anybody else should feel free to pick this car. I have 5.

ok guys got my wheel set up and working now, question though, are wheel users allowed to use active steering in the steering options section? I know we arent allowed ot use it on the cars but there seems to be another option in the steering setup.

I believe any of the steering settings in options are your perogative. Use whatever is comfortable & easy for you to drive with. However, in the settings for the car itself, we're running our league here with TCS & ASM disabled.

57.351 so far with the wheel. gonna try the controller tonight for comparison. Its tough to get used to this wheel after playing with the controller for so long.
