I'm doing the same, on Live for Speed. Just bought my S2 license, which gives access to all cars and tracks.

Back when I was into GranTurismo2, I had steering setup on the analog stick instead of d-pad. MUCH nicer to drive that way. Never owned a wheel so i can't really compare.

Of course, FAR better. I found a good way to set it up was to use the left stick for steering, the right stick for gas/brake, and set it up with left stick all the way to the top/bottom for shifting. That was the only game that allowed that setup, but ever since I've used a similar setup whenever using a gamepad with a PC driving game (set up with a programmable joystick, vertical deadzones on the left stick to 99%)

I managed to get 100% in this game about a year ago with nothing more than a DS2.

I am not saying a wheel and pedal setup wouldn't make the game more fun, just that they are not necessary for success.

Also, I hated trying to pass the test where you have to win that race on the Ring with the lead car getting a 2 minute head start for no other reason than you have to sit there for 2 minutes.

I'm faster with the DFP on the road races, but never would have finished the dirt rallies without the DS2. The force feedback on the wheel is a little weird..IMO the resistance gets stronger instead of lighter when you lose front grip. Regardless of hand speed, I just couldn't spin the thing fast enough to countersteer properly in the rallies.

I gotta admit, I'm not 100% complete yet. I still have Mission 34 and 18? ("3-Lap magic @ LeMans) to go. And I screwed up my last pit stop at the Monaco GP, and only got a silver....and I still have to do the stupid GT World Championship thing at Opera Paris Reverse. Man, I hate street courses...
