Both have gotten great reviews, but the back logitech is both cheaper and better looking imo.

yeah ive been looking at some reviews too & the logitech does look better ( less bulky) but one negative thing about this wheel is it has no paddle shift for the gears which ive come used to now on most wheels,anyway back n topic about the game Ive not seen it uploaded yet on any of the popular binary groups I must be updated them every 5 mins to see if the first lot of files are started to be uploaded,no joy yet

Note from the NFO if anyone needs it...
Advice from the manual: You are only able to play this game if you switch the PAL Mode to PAL-60 !!
Don't think it applies to most people but just in case.
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz - 32GB Kingston HyperX - Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 - EVGA GTX 980 TI SC 6GB - Asus ROG Swift PG278Q

I used the search to see if there was another topic but nothing came out and now I see why... you didn't insert a space between Race and Pro.

Don't forget; Richard Burns Rally got panned by some critics and gamers when it was first released on the consoles, but to this day it's still to be bettered. It's rare for niche titles to get adoring praise and hype explosions. That doesn't mean they are bad games, just not for everyone.
| Quote: | | absolute sim = not my cup of tea |
I don't know whether this has the dynamic weather and changing track conditions like GTR2, but those sorts of simulated effects add a lot to the experience of racing - especially against fallible human opponents. Throw in fuel, tyre wear, damage, having to be consistent and fast.... and yeah it's challenging, but once you've crossed the initial hurdle of getting to grips with the game it's also a lot of fun. Perseverance and practice is necessary with sims, but the rewards make up for it... give it a try.
...but, by all accounts not with the microsoft wheel (supposedly super-shit according to other PC sim racers with Xbox's).

what else is there for xbox besides microsoft wheel? nothing! (of better quality anyway)
Just buy GTR evo for PC and a momo or something...
PC has mods, better controls, better customisation, better everthing. ok except for graphics but they don't look that much better then GTR evo.
