Also, we should make a separation between those who race with any kind of wheel and those who can race with a Pad.
I know that there are some pretty god pad users, but most of the times, a decent player with a wheel can pull amazing times. To make a comparison, I can consistently pull 5 less second laps in suzuka in my Enzo when in on my DFGT than when I'm on the DS3.

Had no idea it made that much difference! i might invest in one

It's hard to get used to at first, especially finding that sweet spot between good acceleration and wheel turning, especially if you've never used any kind of wheel before, but once you do, it makes tons of difference. You can control your turns better, your exit speeds better and since it's much easier to control an all assists off car, you'll do better times.
I found my DFGT for 100€ and since then I just went back to the DS3 to do comparison times, or to move around in photo mode, other than that, I use the wheel for everything. Thanks to it, I've managed to get all golds in the licenses up to S (haven't done it yet) and every challenge, including the hard ones like the Elise 111R on the Top Gear Track or the Alfa Romeo on Eiger for the Grand Tour event.
