I am in TDU series since 2007 (I'm also familiar with some other titles such as RBR and Dirt Rally 2). And I prefer a wheel controller and 900 degrees wheel travel.

I want to tell you about TDUSC from an unique perspective:

Imagine you started Free Roam in Dirt Rally 2 but this time the developers have opened the Dirtfish gates so, with this rally sim physics, you are now finally free to drive anywhere in a large world scaled 1:1, slalom through the AI traffic with other players. The racing is really sim'ish and challenging with some really crazy and fun tracks.

Many legendary classical and modern supercars are in the game, so no need in modding hassle. And you really have to earn both money and reputation to buy them, which gives a strong feeling of ownership!

Three IMPORTANT things:

1. For the desired responsiveness, just tune the steering axis sensitivity (which serves as 'variable ratio steering' and is best at 0.8 in my case and -0.5 for 340 degrees wheel travel) and set the very minimal dead zone (not zero).

2. You don't have to win 1st in races to progress. But if you want a 1st place, it is quite easy in a few tries with a wheel controller AND all the upgrades for a stock car (which is 100% correct).

3. You'll need a really good hardware for a good performance. Otherwise be prepared for compromises.
