In GT1/GT2, I used to accelerate and reverse on the d-pad with the up and down buttons, respectively.

Yep, I'm all for it.
I'm so tired of racing against guys thinking they're of any good just because they've got a wheel !!!

I dunno but suspect since GT6 PD bugged G wheels. That clank on feedback switch so bad on SSRX in the bank OMFG either way we are talking pretty much 20 year old tech internals (25cent motors) with new PS4 buttons..... Twice the price..... Nobody should buy it as a lesson to Logitech stop fleecing your customers. TM is soooo smooth you never want to touch a G wheel again.

Are those jagged movements caused by people tapping the stick to turn? I've never done that on a DS4, I move the stick smoothly to make the vehicle's movements nice and smooth. It won't be as smooth as a wheel but it certainly doesn't look like the video posted on the first page.

Its not really a possibility. There can't be that many people who just use a wheel to race. Wheels costs money, like PS plus and Internet. Not all will cough up.

What I personally would like to see is an extra (hardcore) daily race without any assists (ABS, TC, etc) and and cockpit view only. Wheel or DS are both welcome of course.

The thing is, there are certain things that affect your race. I think with a wheel you can push the tires longer as in more tire life, whereas with DS4, the tires will go faster.
Same if someone drives with TCS 1 and someone drives without TCS. With TCS 1, you have a higher fuel usage I believe.

I agree, the differences is similar to playing with a battery remote control car as opposed to sitting in the driver's seat.
I'm much faster with ds4 than wheel; but I switch to wheel for the past 3 years sacrificed slower lap times and will never go back to ds4.
To explain:
1) I used flyby/bumper cams with ds4 = better range of vision; but use cockpit view with wheel=less visual range but more realistic (fun factor).
2) its much quicker to steer with fingers using ds4 than using more of the entire body to operate a wheel.
3) ds4 is twitchy and easy to rebound from a steering mistake, while the wheel is smooth and less forgiving on steering mistakes.
In my opinion, ds4 vs wheel is not on a level playing field it should atleast be a shown in-game label of whose using wheel or ds4 so you will know who you are racing against.

I would like to KNOW who is using what. I am a DS4 user, and I know I am not great - maybe not even good. I don't blame it on my controller choice. There are other factors - time in the game, familiarity with the track/car combination, and my age.
I think it is intuitive that a wheel enables more precise control than a DS4 controller. It certainly adds to the realism. Did you see anyone in the championship videos using a DS4? Granted I did not watch all of them, but it looked like wheel setup for everyone. I find it hard to imagine a DS4 user in the championship having to compete using a wheel for the first time.
The DS4 can have certain advantages - like going wheel lock to wheel lock on a wheel as quickly as you can with the L stick - or motion control.
My point is that there are lots of data points I would like to know about the best of the best, and my post race results:
The controller is one factor in the results, but it is the primary interface between the human and the game - seems an important one.

Segregation of controller users based on color... Sounds oddly (and horribly) familiar to me...

I agree completely. Given that there are some great players using a controller I about had it with pad users jittering in front of me and bumping me three times in a one second overtake, even at a B S level.
Since the game knows who uses what at least give me the option as a lobby host to ban pad players.

Man, some of the attitudes in here are rather unfortunate. I hate that there's such divisiveness within the GTS playerbase over this issue. I use a DS4 and have never had a problem sharing the road with wheel users. In fact, I'm not even that good with a DS4. I'm pretty slow compared to a lot of the players I've competed against.
yup that's what I do too. It effectively gives you a slightly longer X axis than the straight line left to right stick travel...

I play on a controller and I see no problem with having wheel users and controller users sharing the track. I've played on a pad since I started in 2013 and have not had any issues with collisions directly caused by the fact that I use one.
For further reference, I use R2/L2 for gas/brake respectively, and steer with the left stick.

I use both wheel and DS4 depending on the game, but for GT Sport, I use the G29 wheel. It squeaks. It shakes. It doesn't have much force feedback, and I use a racing chair setup. I don't think that I'm better than anyone just because I have a wheel.

It looks like a nice setup, but do you just put your beer between your legs, or what? I don't see any cup holders.
