Let's be serious.

Sorry, I forgot this is serious business.

Or a little levity from time to time wouldn't hurt. The GT-R may not (and definitely wasn't) have been the first car you could drive with a game controller, but it was the first one I've ever driven from the passenger seat of an entirely different car. I even backed it into a "garage" (made of cones) first time, to great surprise from the guys there.

It's definitely a car you could, at the time, have driven with a pad. Also I like bringing it up from time to time, just to remind people of the cool **** we've been up to over the years.

Anyway, back to the seriousness, I guess.

Incidentally, there were ~100m cars sold in 2025. 49 of them were Ariels (Atoms and Nomads; can't say how many of each but I have been told the approximate proportions of the build slots).

By the argument that anything that can be expressed as an integer per million is statistically none, that means the Ariel Atom - at no better than one in two million (or ~0.00005% of the new car parc) - doesn't exist. Which is odd as I've also sat in three of them.


Okay, now back to the seriousness, I guess.

That’s fine, which advice have you tried? Doesn’t matter if it worked for you but what have you tried?

Now if you are struggling to share replays I can google that for you, no judgement just trying to help you

Thanks and some people recommended braking earlier and I tried doing that and it helped some, but even when I try that and racing against my ghost, it's still often hard for me to get a qualifying time that's less than a few seconds slower than expert players.

@Andyxdr to add to this comment, I would seriously recommend you post some screen recordings of your gameplay so that people can specifically advise you.

Edit: additionally, I wanted to say after you posted your race screen the other day, if you're qualifying 3 seconds off the top time that's pretty not-bad.

It was always my benchmark, and I haven't really improved that much in many, many races and time trials.

Same. That just be how things do.

A (one outlier) in millions means, statisically, none. Let's be serious.
That was an experiment (not even the 1st made, cause there's other attempts with joystick like the Saab 9000 in the 90's) and nobody can go to a Nissan showroom to buy one.

Not a pad per se but they did modify Robert Kubicas cars to have hand controls for the pedals after his crash. So yeah you can for sure mimic pedal controls with triggers. Steering is still with a wheel tho so definitely the hard part is still a wheel :D
