Yes, you can play it with the keyboard.  It makes it a lot more difficult
IMHO, however, and removes most of the fun...

You can assign keys in the options section - just click on the steering bit
and acceleration / braking etc

You can do this even if it asks you to calibrate you controller

PS. Keys....your a sick man! :)

If I start-up GPL without my FF wheel turned on first (about every 2nd
time), it converts all the inputs to keys automatically.

It is possible but not practical.

Very difficult with keys as GPL usually requires very smooth yet sudden
steering movements, a keyboard can be jumpy.
Set steering to non-linear though, that'll help a lot.
Throttle help at least is probably necessary.

Thanks alot for comments/help guys.

I forgot to mention that my Grandad visited..saw it and REALLY wanted a
go,he has no wheel,no money so keys will suffice his needs.

If he did get ***ed i would find some way of getting him a wheel.

Many Thanks
