LOL with all those switches and dials, they made room to place a "MOMO" sticker on it.

I can just see someone turning dials, pressing buttons furiously, etc...then cursing and screaming after forgetting to press the "OK" button.

And that radio dial isn't ergonomically positioned. You can't even see what station is playing.

Glad to see that dial with the Ferarri emblem has a white dot. It's nice to know that they can relate to an everyday guy. I go out to the washing machine, and every time, I turn the dial like 3 times, before setting it right. Every time, I strain to see the barely distinguishable indentation that indicates which wash setting it's on. This last time, I grabbed thewhite out pen, and marked the indentation. No more straining. I bet they don't want to strain going 150mph now do they? No sir!

Whazzup17,

Can you change your Go-Kart's settings( brake bias, TC levels, RPM Limiter, etc.) from your steering wheel? While your doing 100MPH+?

I'm not trying to troll or anything. I'm curious about it, post a pic if you can.

the f1 probably has this but this can draw out the track on a computer by an accelometer and finding how how hard and when you go on the throttle
