well we had 2 consoles and 2 copies of the game and 2 of the exact same steering wheel set up.
first game both using wheels, i lose by a HUGE margin.
second game, i use a pad and i win by a HUGE margin.
the pad for me is 100 times better than a steering wheel, i'm quite decent at driving games, in the older GT's i tended to win more than i lost, same goes for recently in GTA 5, i used to get to missions first and win a lot of races, etc.
the only games i suck at are single player really, i was the best out of all my mates at UFC too. oh and mortal kombat, i suck at that game very badly, i'm a tekken man.
