From what I saw on you tube the G25 wheel can be used on the 360 just need some sort of converter but that cost 90 bucks in itself so I couldn't afford it right now along with the G25 wheel and stand...

I did some research into that converter and I would highly advise against getting that thing. It turns out there is no force feedback with it. If you are looking to get a wheel for 360 I would wait till after the game comes out to see what wheels are working properly.

I personally have a Porsche Fanatec GT2 wheel which although it's operational, the force feedback comes and goes while I am playing this game. I hope it something that gets addressed by Eutechnyx.

The standard Microsoft wheel might work better on day one. I would definitely check the forums to see what people are saying before you decide to buy one.

On day 1 you will be able to race custom cars on PS3 only. Eutechnyx is working with Microsoft to sort out when we will be able to take our custom schemes online on the 360.

Every video I have seen so far online these guys are all over the place on the track. Either it's hard to control, or they are very bad drivers. In the corners they just go right up into the wall.

Thanks, Blue... little bit of a downer but doesnt carry that much weight into getting the game for me. Ill probably try to run longer races for my "career" and getting through more than 1 season will be difficult anyway as I plan on playin online more than anything.

I know Blue has already answered this question but just thought I would add to what I found. Here are the stats it keeps for your driver (all-time):

# of Races
# of wins
Top Tens
Fastest Laps
Pit Stops

There are also stats such as:

Hours played
Miles driven
Longest draft
Fuel Used
New tires


Online it will keep track of:

Races
Wins
Top Fives
Fastest Laps
Skill Level (represented by stars)

LOL, I noticed the same thing. I bet it's user error. Instead of going with "slow in, fast out", it's like the drivers are going full throttle through the corners resulting in too much momentum and right up into the wall.
