The problem with a joystick is that it is har to accelerate AND brake at the same time.
For example when you are accelerating out from a corner and you see that you are going to understeer out of the track, just keep your accelerator flat and give a SLIGHT (I repeat SLIGHT) kick on the brake, it helps by putting the weight down and getting more grip so you make your corner exit all right...
Besides that BUY THE GAME IT'S SO F....G GREAT, try it with a stick and when you can't wait anymore buy a wheel....
Aah, that old chestnut! Sure you can play GPL with a joystick and be
quick enough to compete. However, if its a question of you just want
some cheapo stick to try GPL out with, then chances are that you are not
going to get the best out of this game. You really need to spend cash
on a decent controller (my latest stick cost 40UKP). So, if you can
afford it and have got the space to set it up then a wheel would
probably be a better bet.

Before you buy.
But if you have a stick with a throttle lever (MS Sidewinder Pro in my
case) you use that as a brake. Gives you the ability to accelerate
(stick forward) and brake at the same time
