The game is possible to play with a controller but from my experience it is very difficult to control the car properly and is almost impossible to control the car if the back gets too loose.

BUT I also think that the controller should be supported for all the basic user interactions and menu navigation: I would like to be able to start the game, entering and exiting the races without having to switch from controller to mouse/keyboard. #7. Raiden_chino Dec 18, 2013 @ 1:07pm.
