The new breed of Force feedback steering wheels are causing quite a stir in the racing department. Are they worth the money, and what about the original non-force steering wheels? I investigate each of these 6 steering wheel's pro's and con's.

Race Leader Force Feedback

Race Leader Force Feedback £100 ($167) http://www.guillemot.com

There aren't any.
