  • @canadiangunreviewer there is a new microsoft made wheel on their website

  • darin and shaun..i have a g25 (my baby!!) but iv been thinking about getting this wheel as there no cheap decent wheels that i can use on my xbox, but theres only one place i can find in australia it costs $799 with shifters and clubsport pedals or $1399 for wheel and gt extreme V2 (have u reviewed this cockpit?) but iv just heard about the fanatec csr elite, should i hold out with the hope it comes to australia? does it support all 3 platforms? will new handbrake work with gt2 the gt2? ..cheers

  • hi where can i buy this?

  • does anyone have any idea of when they will go out production???

  • better used corvette ((

  • Best review ever, I always wanted to purchase the G27, currently own the GT3 RS v1, after watching it I have made up my mind and will purchse this wheel, check out my youtube channel

  • Does the GT2 come with a table clamp as standard? I'm thinking of getting one, but I really need a clamp lol. The Fanatec website is really unhelpful...

  • the mabuchi motor is actually used for childrens ride on cars suv`s etc.

  • I just pre-order this wheel can't wait :D

  • @Tommy36xr have had mine for some time now broke the standard pedals so upgraded to clubsports either way the wheel is amazing your gonna love it have fun man! :D

  • i need NO I REALLY NEEEEEED THIS WHEEL

    I'm going to preorder it

  • Heey guys!!!! My GT2 wheel is beginning to say a weird squeez kinda noise?? anyone who has the same issue ?? :/

  • @breakethebeat mine too, i turned the ffb down to 80 and it disapeared.

  • I use their eariler version (turbo S wheel) and the SportClub pedals. Love both GT2 and GT3 car, see mine and read the description of my video too:

    /watch?v=is49Z8rmhLk

  • Comment removed

  • Did Fanatec stop selling "Clubsport editions"? I've considered buying this, but the clubsport editions seems to have vanished from their website a while ago.

    Also, i know the shifters are not thaaaat good, but are they acceptable? Do the GT2 accept aftermarket shifters for XBOX 360 use?

  • May I ask why you gave the GT2 a point more for Force Feedback over the Turbo S, they have the same motor in it...

    (I own a Turbo S)

  • where's the handbrake ? cuz im driftning and i use the handbrake alot...

  • i would get this but i don't have the money, i'll have to settle for the carrera

  • i have one question if i (when driving) drive manually is the switch controller like you only only push it back and forward to switch between gears or is it like a real car...

  • View My Channel For A Working Microsoft Points Code Generator,

  • Does the H-shifter from G27 also work with this wheel?

  • I wish they were selling them here. (and that I had the money for it)

    It looks like a fantastic product.

  • Why are you using two legs driving AT??????????

  • Comment removed

  • I need help! I have a Carrera which is healthy but the 6 speed shifter is acting odd whenever I shift into 2,4, and 6 it goes in 2nd,but when shifting into 1,3, and 5 goes into reverse if you can help me great if you can't that's still cool.

  • How awesome would it be, if the game recognized the Fanatec wheel and eliminated the steering wheel on the screen so all you see is the gages. But when you play with the controller you can drive with the steering wheel screen "on" or "off".

  • @Smngorin You can do that on the PC

  • is there any way that we can get an exact date for the review on the t500 rs?

  • I was wondering what a well priced (obviously i dont mean $50 but not $300) wheel that has compatability with PS3, XBOX 360, and PC. Please message me or reply to the message

  • @AirsoftGamer94 xbox 360 part is the real killer as there is like 3 wheels that works on 360, its xbox own wheel, a little cheaper one form madcats/saitek (still goes for 100+) but has no FF, and this GT2 wheel.

  • i wanna buy the gt2 from you guys i dont feel like dealin with fanatec directly anymore cuz im still waitin on my replacement PW Shifter Set i order since november

  • @simracingtonight ---- thanks for not answering simple questions that would take 30 seconds of your time. Much appreciated.

  • All of thsi is nice, just you forgot 1 staf Fanatec dont send this wheel all around world, what i mean all contry in Balcan halfailed not suported buy Fanatec. Cmon you have a loot of real sim racers there. thtas onli mine minus for this wheel. They force me to BUY g25

  • F I racing....GTR3 and RF2 is a must this year!!!

  • Great program! Love the GT2 (i have one), upgraded from the Turbo S wheel and its a big step up in forcefeedback, quality and the shape. Simply makes it feel much more realistic.

  • Omg lol if i was Marc Gunzelman, id be JUMPING in my seat right now lol screaming and yelling.

  • Wow, dude you dont use 900 for iracing? Arent they set up perfectly for all wheels to each car if you set it to 900? I mean....i havnt heard at all of people using anything less than 900 unless they are oval racers or something

  • Thrustmaster T500 RS Review???????

  • you guys should do a episode to show which wheel is great for drifting

  • you guys should do a episode to show which wheel is great for drifting

  • T500RS review ??????

    news? price drop ??

  • Awesome Review guys! I am absolutely, 100% totally loving my GT2. Ive got both the standard and the clubsport pedals.. Obviously the standard pedals don't see much use.. but man oh man.. This wheel makes every game I play feel like a new game! Forza is amazing with it, as is GT5. But Ive been putting a lot of laps in on F12010, GTR2/Evo and RaceOn/07, and holy christ! This wheel makes these games a really great experience. F12010, on PC, with this wheel and triple monitors, nothing better!

  • u forgot f1 2011 that will come out this year

  • @MrFifaisbest Cant wait for F12011.. Im still loving 2010, 2011 is going to be beast! F12011, Forza 4, GTR 3, Rfactor2, and Shift 2.. What an awesome lineup for 2011 racing!

  • that's Jose Carlos Pace.......Pronounced Pache' not as it looks...........

  • @simracingtonight -- Can you mount the GT2 shifters to a sim-seat SR-2 Platinum shifter mount.. I bouhgt the SR-2 Platinum after seeing your review. Also I have no X-Box, Just PS3 and PC. Would I be better of with the GT3 V2? Is the GT2 mechanically identical? Is the GT2 better besides back-lit buttons and X-Box support?

  • im still extremely torn between GT2 and T500, the GT2 has xbox support but T500 is the new ps3 wheel, i think ill wait till you have the T500 review up and i can make a decision.

    also suspecting you run these wheels really hard, are the claims the belt will snap in them true?

  • So, what's with the massive controller delay we see in the videos? Is that just your screen setup that has that delay or is it the wheel? Look at 7:13 for instance.

  • My civic type R with a t14 turbo and 18" chromes would smoke that piece of shit.

    I've got a bigger rear wing than that porsche too..

  • GRID was so amazing...in my opinion, the best arcade sim on the market! dirt 2 is alright, but GRID was so ahead of it's time when it came out :D

  • Acura LMP car

  • 100th like!

  • классные сиськи)))

  • 250 bux for something that will last you probably the next 5 years. a good investment.

  • $300 for the GT2 wheel and pedals alone??? i guess if your out of college and have a good income you could afford it but man not on my college budget...also im 98% complete with GT5 with only the 24 hours of Nurburgring in both A and B spec left to do =)

  • @iluvworldofwarcraft Perhaps u could have found an old DFP for around $40-50. i got mine preowned for around £35-40 from a company called Cex in uk. this was back in 2007. its got 900 degree steering and reasonable force feed back.

  • GRID 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • can i drill two holes in the front bottom of the base to mount it to the clubsport table clamp?

  • i see you are runing b-spec even while you are filming :D:D:D

  • Just a curiosity, since Fanatec wheels work instantly with Logitech G25/27 pedals, won't Logitech going to sue Fanatec for stealing their tech?

  • Guys this is a very polished Episode, Stirling job again :)

  • How do you get a score of 3.25 and 3.75 etc? :P Is it just guessing, or are there specific things in each category that you check and each of these things have a set amount of points the wheel can get?

  • @SpeedFreakNO Shaun and I both score it and it's a combined or average of the two of us..

  • @simracingtonight I see, of course, that makes sense :) Seemed like it was such a specific score, to specific really, but when it's an average it makes sense :)

  • Forget that question.. I was at the wrong Fanatec website.. Anyway, are the mechanicals of the GT3 RS V2 exactly the same as the GT2? I don't have an X-box, so should I get the GT3 RS V2? Will I lose any features or functions? Can I mount the Fanatec shifters to my sim-seat SR-2 Platinum? I don't want to mount the shifters to the wheel. I have the shifter mount that came w/ the sim-seat. Thanks.

  • I'm in the US- how do I buy a GT2 if I want one? <-- That's what I meant to ask in post below.. Don't forget about G25 pedal question on PS3..

  • Thanks for another great show. I've been a racing game fan for quite a few years now, and the closest I've gotten to sim is Race Pro on Xbox using the crappy wireless wheel made by Microsoft.

    I like the review given to the GT2, and has me considering buying it, but putting me in the hole deeper than I might with a G27. What would you say is a smarter choice for the frugal, going with the GT2 with standard pedals or buying a G27, since it is still a great wheel without many luxuries?

    Thanks!

  • we wanna see more lopez let do all the reviews

  • I want a wheel for mainly just GT5 and F1 2010 (on PS3) and mainly a little use on PC. But I've heard problems with Logitech and problems with Fanatec on PS3. Which one do you InsideSimRacing (and viewers) think I should go for?

  • "Deliveries to countries outside Europe are unfortunately not possible at the current time." That's what it says on fanatec website. I'm in the US- how do I buy a GT5 if I want one? Will my G25 pedals work with that adapter on a PS3 for GT5?????????????? (as others have asked here) Thanks.

  • Will you guys please do a 5-7 minute video comparing the GT3rsV2 to the GT2? Supposedly, they are the same except for only color and M$'s console support.

  • Looks like you guys can't quite make up your mind which wheel is best for GT5? It's not possible for both to be "best for GT5". "Pretty much best for GT5" doesn't cut the mustard. If it's not the best, then SAY IT! Say "Although the T500 Is better". Don't you think Thomas would rather have your honesty? WE WOULD. Redo the video please.

  • hey darin and shawn, how did you guys do in the GT Academy? you guys in round 2?

  • @thnk4urself Shaun made it, I didn't.. I didn't run enough laps to make a run at it although I made top 200 in my region.. Shaun was in top 80 in the region.

    Darin

  • @simracingtonight I had to force myself to run a lot of laps towards the end. I didn't really enjoy the 370z at tsukuba or the fact that everyone was cheating in the cape ring time trial. I hope they patch that because if you go off the course to save time or smash into walls, you should get DQed but oh well. I hope they fix that for round 2

  • @simracingtonight I think im going to buy the first one, but do i have to buy the thing that holds it with the table?

  • Were is the GT5 review.. ????? (palpatine voice)

  • Are you guys going to review the clubsport shifter and handbrake whenever they are released?

  • There is a mistake in description - Fanatec Porsche 911 GT2 Wheel for the PC, XBox 360 and PC - PC mentioned 2 times!

  • Hi SRT great review as always described in great detail. i just wanted to ask u guys what the basic pedals are like for the gt2 wheel because i have a g25 but was gonna sell it so i can have this 1 on my pc ps3 and xbox 360 u did say the g25 pedals worked great on this wheel but how do they compair? I dont really have the time to be a proper sim racer even tho i love playing them so would the basic set be ok for just genaral use or would u recommend keeping the g25 pedals. Thanx guys

  • Trackmania 2 is by NADEO not UBI :(

  • It's a tough decision whether to get the GT2 or the T500RS, the clamp on the GT2 puts me off the though.

  • @BolgOfTheNorth

    GT2-Xbox 360-PS3-PC-3Pedals+6+1H Shifter+Sequential Shifter-Paddle Shifters.

    T500RS-PS3-3Pedals-Paddle Shifters

    but if u dont own a 360, you should get the GT3 RS.

    The only difference is, that the GT2 is for xbox as well.

    If u wanna play on PC or PS3, take the GT3 RS it is about 150 buckz cheaper

  • @Xzibitfreek Oh right, I wondered what the difference was between GT2 & GT3 RS, thanks for that.

  • its such a great wheel, but its so expensive :-(.

  • @yippe True but If ur a G25/G27 user there's a guy testing a xcm wheel converter so you can use logitech wheels on the 360

  • @kizzagt where do i get one of these converters dude?

  • @yippe look up dcemureviews on youtube This guy is beta testing it but hopefully he'll have it ready to buy soon

  • I'm sold on the GT2, just gotta do some overtime to pay for it. Can you use the shifter from the g25 with the GT2 and clubsports?

  • @Numnutzvr6 The G25 shifter is not compatable with the fanatec wheel I'm afraid to say

  • Jessica is such a cutie. Such pretty hair.

  • Jessica marry me please!! :)

  • Hey Guys ! and Jessica :) Great show ;] You have fans in Poland :D

    I bought about a year ago the GT3 RS V2 Fanatec with clubsport pedals - and I am just wandering is there a difference in the wheel itself when you compare the GT3 RS V2 and the GT2 ? (I mean do they have different FFB strength, smootheness or is it basically the same wheel with additional items like illumination and compatibility)

  • I've got a GT3 RS V2, Fanatec make really awesome wheels :D

  • wow i only just discovered this show , fantastic job guys...ive been after a wheel by these guys for quite some time and finally a distributor in Australia will be selling them so i got my order in.. great review on the wheel i use the xbox wheel and G25 and get sick of changing the wheel over in my Next level GT pro racing chair everytime i wanna change sims this GT2 will be perfect!!!

  • I subscribe this channel to watch some sim gaming news and Jessica is actually a surprise bonus. :D

  • hey! love the show hope u answer can i use the wheel with g27 pedals on the ps3? or does that only work with pc?

  • i read somewhere that simbin going to release a last expantion for race 07. do you guys and girl know anything about that?

  • any news when the Fanatec Porsche 911 GT2 is going to out in australia

  • @tullochaustralia yes pagnianimports are doing a per order for april delivery NOW

  • lol at 14:21 the mouse fall over

  • Is there a Xbox Microphone port on the Fanatec wheel?

  • Thanks for the review on the GT2.

  • GRID 2 IS ON ITS WAY...!!!! YESSS.....

  • New camera? Quality seems better than before, although it wasnt bad before. Also a lovely Bokeh.

  • OMG! GRiD2! Finally! Hopefully it drives a little more realistically, but its always fun to race on there. And, I like the buttons and everything on the G27, it feels more racey to me. Maybe gamey, a little, but the layout, I like more. Though, for someone big into road cars (and someone who is actually old enough to drive :P) I'm sure the Fanatec buttons feel more standard. Not for me, but great for everyone who does like it! Thanks for another great review.

  • Nice review Guys and Jess, Your cons were very short and if you took the ones like the chopsticks they don't really count as you only have the pure edition so not many at all. Im going to get this wheel for sure (When Stock Arrives at Our New Zealand Supplier in Feb) and the laughs at the end awesome lol..

  • Got my GT2 a week ago! getting my rennsport stand and peddles tomorrow cant weight !

  • GT5 REVIEW???????????????????????

  • @gLaDik they did gt5 review

  • @krislovercar They did part 1. the games been out for 2 months. Wheres the rest.

  • @tomcatobi wasn't it unfinished?

  • @gLaDik Coming soon.. Im at about 94% complete.. We wanted to get as far as we could through it..

  • @simracingtonight have you tried the 172 laps of suzuka? its fun hehe

  • @forx4crawler I've raced all of the races in B Spec except the 24 Hours of Nurburg.. In A Spec I have all of the Extreme done except the Formula GT.. I haven't done any Endurance yet

  • @simracingtonight cool :D i'm just about to do the b spec of it, how long did it took in b-spec?

  • @simracingtonight You dont have to get 100% in a racing game to be able to review it. That like trying to get 100% in a game like fallout 3 before a review. Not needed at all.

  • @tomcatobi Thanks for your insight, but we'll go as far as we want to review the title.. You must be a fan of IGN ;-)

  • @simracingtonight Now that was funny. Love u guys wayyy more than ign. Maybe u guys can do a 3 part review.  Part 2 now and then Part 3 when you finish all endurance races. (which will kill you ps3) :)

  • @simracingtonight you guys should wait for the next update before you do the review. its coming out soon

  • I've been all excited about Off Road Drive since this episode came out. Where did you find it was coming out in Feb 2011 though? All I can find is that it's coming out in the second quarter of this year. I've called two gamestops and neither has heard of it either. It will be released in the US right? I've waited my entire life for a true rock crawling sim to be released so any info would be very helpful. Also, have you guys ever reviewed Rigs of Rods? It supports most wheels and is a sim.

  • @simracingtonight nice.. i hit 98 percent!!! got Level 40 B spec 38 in Aspec!!! I need to get golds in Nurburging special event!!!!

  • @gLaDik why bother.

  • i want a pit stop with jessica :D

  • Just like on real porsche cars, everything is an option on this steering wheel.

  • Does Fanatec still offer the GT2 clubsport edition for $499? I check their page and I don't see it there anymore :-(

  • @wastnTIMEwastnTIME You can part it together for the same price.. $249 + 199+ $49= $497

  • @simracingtonight The thing about ordering it piece by piece as opposed to the club sport package they had going was that they where including the Carbon Paddle shifters (a $39.99 value). So you got a pretty good deal.

  • don't know why you'd want to buy this over a g25/27 if u already had one, sounds like its only a very slight improvement ..the difference can easily be made up with driver skill...and I'd rather upgrade my pedals for my g25 than a new wheel to go with the pedals... I'd love to get club-sport pedals but those shifters look really cheap ... cheaper than even the g25's which I'm not fond of to begin with

    the

  • what does LMP stand for?

  • @Kminatz Le Mans Prototype.

  • Nice vid. Whats up with GT5 review.

  • @tomcatobi they did gt5 review

  • Guys, I know u said this has the convertor for g27 pedals, but what about the g27 shifter?....this wheel doesnt seem to have enough buttons for games like iracing where I need to take as many keys off the keyboard as possible and those shifters u showed have no buttons so its not ganna work for me :/

  • I see you keep mentioning the Nascar game, i know it's a big release and probably a great racing game. But you could mention it's only going on sale in the US ;)

  • That wheel is just perfect... i whant it in my Clio 172

  • Im currently playin GT5 with my Logitech g25. You said it before to get the most realistic feel I had to turn off all driving aids, but for some reason everytime I step on the brakes wheels locked up immediately (absoff). should I leave it on, or is it just me ?

  • thank you very much for the draw, we appreciate it ! :)

  • wow 2011 looks AWESOME ! :D Grid 2, Dirt 3, GTR 3, rFactor 2 BIG

    and great episode

  • You guys ROCKS !

    Great review

    Looking forward to the Rinoseat GTR review !

  • :* you guys

  • That GT2 wheel is very nice.

  • My GT2 with CSP has been on order since Dec 6th!!!! Getting sick of waiting now..

  • Did Jessica say "GRID 2"?

  • @Retrogamer71 Did u just type GRID 2?? (please be G27 clutch ready X).

  • @taitoimpact Well I'm a Fanatec owner on Xbox. Funny I wasn't thinking of GRID being set up for a wheel. Grid just happens in my opinion to be the best racing game all round for controller.  Although I agree full wheel and h shifter clutch support would make a great racing game even better.

  • @Retrogamer71 the crash effects' smoke GT5, and the force feed back is strong. i like the graphics and arcade physics of grid but i wanted a shifter game, so it was gt5 and shift on my shelf. Although Grid is probably more fun as an automatic racer. If they have a good shifter and clutch in the next one then count me in. I wander if its possible to configure the fanatic wheel to play old games like "tokyo road race" and "initial D"(ps2) at 900 degrees?

  • Great Show!

  • I don't want to be a dick but... ashoshiashion.

  • great review....

  • What about Porsche 911 Carrera Wheel. I would like to see it in the Shabami.

  • @MrKyle080905 : I didn't mean "rip it out and trough out of the window" I meant changing it for a proper fan not a cheap 50cent part.

    why save money in the wrong place ?

  • It is a good wheel but the little fan that is in there got to go . it produces a high pitch nois that tortures your ears and sometimes sounds like a cable got into the fan or something.. a real MINUS if you ask me ...

  • @gogomike69 If it didnt have a fan it would over heat

  • I want and need a GT2 Clubsport set :D. Great show guys!

  • I was thinking of buying GT2, but the need to get the pedals and the H-shifter separately for quite the price is sort of a let down. Still a quality wheel, surely the best choice right now.

  • ok i cant believe 2 idiots out there disliked this show ! (or episode). You guys are assholes. These guys try hard and do a great job at reviewing everything properly and fair. I'd like to see you do a better job

  • is it porsh or porsha??

  • "Cargasm"...you gotta say that with a smile on your face!

  • You forgot F1 2011!

  • so, which wheel is better in your opinion? gt2 or t500 rs?

    I had both wheels and like the t500 rs more...

  • Nice show once again. I currently use a Logitech G25 but ive seen some people are really good on GT5 with the GT5 RS V2. I have the Turbo S wheel but dont like it much. I cant really put my finger on why, i just prefer my Logitech wheel. How does the GT2 compare. I'm really attracted by the idea of having a wheel that works on both consoles + pc which is why I got the Turbo S, but has the GT2 really moved on much from the Turbo S in terms of feel?

  • 500 bucks for a great racing experience is actually really cheap.

    And I think for guys like you the console/PC is more the accessory, this wheel works with all the current racing sims.
