Yes, I had some time last night and couldn't resist. Although my time is high I have no driver assists on accept for the Racing line as I still don't know the tracks very well. Give it a shot Wobbly and lets see what you get. I don't see Al's times yet because we were somehow not friends in Steam yet. I remedied that with a request.
As for your controller problem, I can see where that would be a real pain. The game is set up so that it is easy to use a mouse for steering. I have talked to many people who use it and they like it and are the ones with the best lap times. Give that a shot too and tell me what you think.
