Huh? People that use steering wheel and peddles for racing games have a serious advantage, it’s far more accurate, I have no idea what makes you think it’s too slow or what that’s even supposed to mean.
Most people use a controller for racing games because there’s no setup or space requirements and it’s what they’re used to. Plus a basic decent steering wheel setup is about three to four times the cost of a standard Xbox or PlayStation controller.
Keyboard and mouse players win in FPS shooters, not driving games.
As someone who spent an inordinate about of time trying to play Test Drive III with a keyboard, I can assure you that a keyboard is a terrible interface for driving.
Later, Test Drive Le Man’s and PGR3 helped me learn that a controller is better than a keyboard, but still not great.
A wheel is by far the best control mechanism for a car.

Well, here I am challenging that idea, and apparently that is a bit too much for most, but I have yet to be given any proof of the superiority of the wheel.
I for one would prefer to control my car using a theremin. How can you know that it is not better, if no one has ever tried it?
Well, if you truly think it’s better you’re welcome to put your money on the line to develop a prototype theremin-controlled vehicle and provide real world data to prove that it’s a better mechanism for controlling vehicles on public roads than a wheel and pedals.
Until that happens, I’m going to stick with the proven technology.

Huh. I guess times have changed. It used to be that keyboard players would always win.
Anyway it doesn’t change my opinion on the topic. Car steering wheels are stupid and only kept relevant because it’s fun to turn.

I’d put my hand up to try that! (And then crash into the nearest tree because I put my hand up to try that 😉).
So much fun 😊 and don’t forget the vroooom
