I hope all of you folks get your video cards up and running real soon; I just upgraded from an ATI to a NIVIDIA GTX, so for now I am set.

BUT, as a novice gamer, with not much racing skill and coordination, I am finding it REALLY HARD to even win the novice race ( time trial ), early in this game, by usinf 'W' "A' 'D' and 'S', on my keyboard.

It does not appear that with my basic mouse, I can control racing movement; what options are out there for the pc?

Is there a different mouse that will let me control motion like a playstation device?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Not sure about a different mouse that would let you do that, but you could use a gamepad, Xbox 360 controller or PS3 controller?
