Don't give up the T2 yet. I had the same problems when I got mine. I
found out that a setup can vary greatly in performance between a
joystick and the T2, it just takes getting used to. Also be sure to
change the steering control to linear steering. This will make a
difference also. As for the pedals, are you two-footing? It's a lot
easier if you use both feet when driving. This especially helps at
resistor-plate tracks. You can brake slightly without getting out of
the gas. It also lets you get on the gas while easing of the brakes at
other tracks (Martinsville comes to mind for my driving style). It
takes a little getting used to but after I got my set-ups redone my
times improved alot.
