Alas, I have no wheel/pedals or joystick, am I forever doomed to spin and
slide into oblivion with my keyboard?

I've never driven a 1967 GP car but I can't imagine the best way round
Stowe at Silverstone is to hit the brakes with all the force you have, snap
the wheel hard right and apply 100% throttle in the middle of the
corner....... :o)

Does anyone have a comparison of their lap times using a keyboard and some
other control device?

Much as it pains me to do so I've resorted to putting brake and throttle
help on.....

... Then spin :). Its not that easy with an josytick/wheel & pedals. with
keyboard, you can hardly spin your wheels, and cant lock them up, basically
its bullshit :).

silverstone: Wheel: 1:29.7 (i think)
                 Joystick:  1:34.1
               Keyboard: 1:50.something
