I am just curious what wheels the fast drivers are using. Any thoughts or speculations? Or any of you fast guys (or gals) want to let us know?

One thing for sure I will be glad when this is over. Using the paddles on my G27 is killing one of my fingers:tdown: I will be glad to go back to using a clutch and H pattern shifter! Hopefully I can at least get in to the 1:31's. Currently at 1:32.638 with a theoretical best of 1:32.135.
 
It's in my signature. Love my Fanatec, and especially love my ClubSport Pedals.
 
You'll only know by asking, but I'd say a majority of them are probably using DFGT's.
 
I know if I had a DFGT I would probably be using that instead of the G27. Not that it would make a difference in me making it to the finals. But at least I would be prepared if I did.
 
If I make it to the finals I'm planning on buying a DFGT to practice with for a couple weeks, then I'll probably just return it or sell it. I already have a G25 as a backup wheel.
 
After using a thrustmaster t500rs for the last month, I just set my fastest time yet with a DFGT. I am as baffled as anyone.
 
When I switched from a DFP to the G27 I feel that it did not make me faster. It sure felt more realistic and made me smoother and more consistent. I do have a suspicion that I would ultimately be fastest on a controller but I love driving to much and feel not using a wheel would be wrong.
 
DFGT for the win, 1:31.3xx
Cant believe it. 2 days ago I thought this time was unachievable for me.
 
I was using a DFP in the first week, and topped off at 31.363, which was probably the best I could've gotten with it. I bought a G27 though (bye bye $300 :)) and almost immediately shaved another tenth off, and I know there's still about another .150 or so I can cut.
 
I run a DFGT. My best lap now is a 1.31.212. No complaints with the wheel and since it'll be the wheel for finals I don't wanna get another wheel. Definitely worth the 150 or less you'd spend for it.
 
I'm using a DFP. As of right now, current best lap is a 1:31.314.
I asked to borrow my friend's DFGT since he's still running 1:35s, but he won't let me...:(

Edit: My current best lap is a 1:31.263

DFGT for me. Great wheel for the money my best lap is a 31.301
 
Gtmunky u can us my dfgt or g27 👍
Thanks mate, I'll keep this offer in mind during the rest of the week. Funny thing is that I went faster with a 1:31.263 during my last 1hr stint. I'm quite a superstitious person and if I can keep improving with the DFP, I may stick with it.
 
I'm not in top, but i'm using a g25. I had thought about using a dfp, but mine shot craps.
 
I find it a little funny how many people think it's the wheel someone's using or some race-seat or whatever, which makes them fast.

It never is. It's just the driver.
 
I use a pad for now, Might get a wheel in the future.
 
It's encouraging to see some top times with the DFp. My problem is finding some piece and quiet in a house with two toddlers and a loud goofy wife.
