I play GT5, not so often right now with trying to get my 79 on the road, but will be getting back into it very soon. PSN ID rotarypower85.

I use a Logitech G25 racing wheel mounted into a custom made cockpit. Loads of fun that way.

I built a custom stand for my G25 also, it makes it that much more fun to play GT5 with

I'm using the standard controller. Don't have the space for a proper steering wheel pedal setup
Still pretty quick with the standard controller.

I play GT5 as well, but lately i've been playing NFS shift 2, which is horrid, but soooo pretty.. I too have a logitech G25 (use to race in an Rfactor league) but i have no room to make a proper rig of sorts.

my user name is ep82-power

Yeah I play, PSN is P_Lav.

I'm part of a touge league called LotS, we race on Toscana with -5 width roads, 1 vs 1 cat and mouse best motoring/initial d style with performance point limit of 500. Loads of fun. You can look it up at gtplanet.net under GT5 then online leagues and clubs.

Heres a pic of my cockpit:


I have a logitech G27 I modded with a 320MM Reactive wheel (the stock one is tiny!), shift ****, homemade handbrake that uses a automotive push button switch wired into the shifter, I also replaced the brake pedal spring with a stiffer one that I got from a hardware supply store, and put the brake spring in the clutch pedal. And yes that is a Sparco seat.

I know, I might have taken it a bit too far, but I dont have a 7 at the moment so this is my substitute till Im done school.

Nice setup you have there. I'm a member of what used to be called the HSRL, H-Shifter racing league. Its now evolved a bit, but unfortunately a bit quiet recently. Summer months kinda suck for online racing when you race with a bunch of guys that do it in the real world as well. Excellent competition on the track. I love whiping around in either of the FC or FD's I have. I only wish they would have included at least the FB from GT2.

I just picked up a Logitech Driving Force wheel, and what a difference! Like Neo, I had got pretty good with the controller, but the wheel is definitely a whole new world. That said, I don't have the room (until the basement renos are done...) for a rig like that, so I have to make do with a wrong height coffee table / sofa combo. That is, when I can find time.

I stopped playing when it said I couldn't have any more than 20 million credits. Also, I beat every race in the game and Im still not high enough level to do the 24 hours of nurburgring. Fail.

Always wanted to make a gaming rig like the one above, but I don't even have a PS3 yet, maybe I'll buy one now that Sony dropped the price.
