keeveek: Does she have a good steering wheel with a gearshift? It's awesome if she has :D
xyem: She doesn't play many racing games, so she doesn't have a wheel herself. She's going to borrow one (just wheel/pedals I think) and if she prefers the wheel, but the one she borrows is lacking, I'll be lending her my G25 (which is currently "in the way" due to having to move to another room during decorating).
On the other hand, professional F1 drivers change their gears on a steering wheel with buttons, as far as I know, so gearshift shouldn't be necessary or maybe even uncomfortable, given the speed an acceleration.
