Ooh now that's tricky. It's hard to think of one that was downright awful but the 2002 EA effort springs to mind. Also, I remember one from about 1997 or maybe 1998 in which the cars didn't do more than 145 mph...which was somewhat inaccurate...

I hated all of EA's F1 games.

According to Gamespot this appears to be the worst F1 game.

I give you F1 Pole Position 64:

That does sound pretty woeful. I've always thought that If it's not made primarily for PC, then it's not worth a look. A decent steering wheel is also a must. if it can be done with a gamepad, it simply isn't difficult enough! As a side note, Forza Motorsports 2 on XBox 360 feels promising enough with a controller, feels like it might be quite a satisfying sim with a wheel...

I actually don't like the wheels, i find the way you turn them is nothing like what you actually do if you were racing an actual car. Of course i have always had the crappy wheel controllers.

I believe there is a racing wheel controller for the 360 & that Forza Motorsport 1 and 2 support it.

The problem is fixing the wheel to something. The x box is in the living room and the wheel would have to be between my knees which is no good. What do you use? On GPL, I used to find a joystick was pretty good for steering with a set of pedals for go and stop

I prefer the control pad over everything, specially the 360 pad for both pc & xbox. The trigger buttons give you great control over braking & acceleration pressures.

The keyboard would be ok for GP4 if they had programmed the driving aid not to force you to take the most ridiculous racing line in places...

[Gilles 27]

I find with the triggers, I need one hand dedicated to accelerating and braking and one entirely to steering. I can't get my head round braking and steering with the same hand, so I change the buttons to ye olde Playstation configuration.

the teams should market their simulators... no need for a joystick with those babies
