Ah, so you use a mouse for steering and keys for/throttle brake, that
explains a few things.....

   Fwir mouse steering was pretty good...I think there was an EA F1 title
that used it and the first Papy Indy 500 the Simulation ....You could make
very small steering inputs  heading into turn 1.  of course you kept the gas
mashed so keys didn't make any difference for the  500 title...The F1...that
was a different story.
