The gamepad support of this game is extremely terrible.
There is a huge deadzone in the center while driving no matter what, while in the control settings page it shows no deadzone. The sensitivity setting is useless, as it leads to either losing control at high speed or not turning at all. Other steering settings like smoothing and steering sensitive to speed would only make the handling response even worse. On top of that, the entire steering linearity was set up in a ridiculous straight line which you can't adjust.

this game is trash its meant for a controller or a logitech

FUN
