@rorie: Thanks for the update!

I noticed this too. I use Overcast as my player on iOS 15 and in various browsers. All episodes are dated Mar 28 and they’re all out of order. When I click the RSS link here I also get an error. I took a couple of screen shots.

Gotta go with 12

Cool cool! Tossing my name in.

I'm seeing this too in Safari 11.0.1 on macOS 10.12.6 Sierra. Thanks in advance GB staff.

Same, though I use Safari in macOS Sierra. Streaming the download links works fine though.

I use Overcast which I think just uses the free feed link. I didn't bother manually adding the premium feed since the ad reads are often hilarious.

Austin's one of the most thoughtful writers out there. I'm really impressed GB hired him.

Yeah, it's a Safari issue. I just use the download link for the video and play the mp4 using the QuickTime plugin. The video will expand to full screen just fine.

It's great to see a wheel racing crew here.

I've read up quite a bit on the CSR and most people seem to love the wheel but a few have called out the cheap feel of the rest of the rim beyond 9 and 3. The CSR was designed to perform slightly better than the GT2 in some ways. It has subtle tweaks to the electronics, and less mass in the wheel rim so more vibration is stronger and force feedback is quicker. Fanatec also finally upgraded the shifter paddles on the CSR so they're much more positive and responsive.

Right now I have the GT2 wheel with a set of ClubSport pedals. I had the Turbo S before that. I can say the GT2 does feel really nice. The whole rim is wrapped in Alcantara, and feels luxurious. There's a bit of mass to the GT2 rim, so the vibration motors are a little muted. The paddle shifters on my GT2 are really mediocre though, and I think that's an area where the CSR really has a leg up on the GT2. I miss the paddle shifters of my old G25. If I was buying new today, I'd probably go with the CSR, even with concerns about the exposed plastic in the rim, if for no other reason than the fact Fanatec finally fixed their paddles.

Anyway, for the new CSR and GT2 users, here are some things I've noted during my Fanatec ownership:

• The standard table clamp seems pretty useless, but you can get a secure fit if you pull the wheel a couple of mm forward, which allows the clamp to close a bit tighter before closing the quick release levers. This allows the plastic of the clamp to flex a bit and act like a spring. Just don't overdo it. This also may not work with thicker desks.
• The mounting rods for the stick shifters work best if you extend them deep into the base of the wheel, enough that they protrude a bit from the other side. Slide the shifter as close as to the wheel as you can stand. It still won't be perfect, but it's serviceable. Also, make sure to follow the directions in your manual to calibrate the 6-speed shifter. That's crucial.
• If you "invest" in the ClubSport Pedals definitely take the time to tweak. Experiment with spring strength, load cell strength, positions of the pedal faces. If you're handy, get the tuning kit and try adjusting the throw of the brake pedal.
• I strongly recommend getting a Rennsport Wheel Stand or Wheel Stand Pro to hard mount the wheel. I have the Rennsport and also have my shifters hard mounted to it and it makes a world of difference.
• If you get a wheel stand, consider securing the pedals. I peeled the rubber feet off my ClubSport Pedals and replaced them with industrial strength Velcro. I have strips of the mating fabric running the length of the base of the stand if I ever need to change position. The pedals feel like they're bolted in place and it really improves braking confidence.
• When using the Fanatec wheel with the Xbox 360, boot up the console before powering on the wheel.
• Turn the force feedback strength to 100% in the wheel and then adjust force feedback strength lower in your game software, until you seem to feel the full range of effects, from subtle to maximum. Think of it like maximizing dynamic range and avoiding clipping in an amplifier.
