I knuckled down with this the last week or so and decided to tweak my controller settings, the big problem at the moment is: The controller (XBox 360 PC Gamepad) is really good on one car but absolutely hopeless on another and there's no way I can see of assigning alternative controller settings to different vehicles so effectively I am limited to being able to drive only the cars that are drivable with the settings I use, all other cars are completely impossible to control, unless I change the controller set-up which then makes other cars uncontrollable.
Is the above issue the same for Wheel users? Or is it just a Gamepad problem?
I know looking through the Time Trial Leaderboards that Wheel users are easily a good 10% faster than the vast majority of Gamepad records (Which are much, much rarer)- excepting the odd Alien - on virtually every Track/Car where the records exist which shows conclusively to me that non-Wheel players are at quite a disadvantage anyway without being limited to only certain Gamepad friendly cars and tracks. I don't see how they are going to fix this before release TBH....
