Gran Turismo 6: Real enough to confuse my body

Yea, but are you good at racing sims? I think at the more competetive end of the game, a wheel really holds you back because it's just not as responsive enough. e.g. You can't do a sharp turn, like on Tsukuba, with a steering wheel as fast as you can with a controller, even with sensitivity at 10.

For comparision, I know I'm within the top 10,000/2,500,000 (last I checked) Forza players on the Top Gear Test Track, and I think I could do better.

Last year i was 200 in GT academy, they year before that i was 130 and normally rank in the top 500 in the weekly time trails. I use a wheel. The controller is a huge disadvantage. Every now and again a controller will make it in the top of the ranking but it’s dominated by wheel users.  The pedals are everything in a racing sim. And a controller cant touch it. 

Maybe, to be honest I almost exclusively race with a wheel too, and if I really wanted to make a good time trial, I think I would do better with a wheel too, but it depends on the circuit. Anything with a 180 degree, 1st gear turn, the controller has a huge advantage.

Also controllers....oh wait. PS3 triggers aren't pressure sensitive are they? I've never played GT5 with a controller, I'm judging all my controller experience with Forza Horizon and such on the 360 (It's annoying to use a wheel when you car is bouncing on a golf course).
