Can't find a place to change the steering sensitivity for gamepad, anyone?

Pretty sure the steering sensitivity can't be changed. I agree the racing tyres seem to exaggerate your steering movements a bit.

I'm also using a gamepad to play the game, so already at a disadvantage to wheel users (who can turn off TCS). Currently I'm sitting at #114 in my country:

GTP_jacoja06

Normal car: 1'50.986
Tuned car: 1'38.146
Total: 3'29.132

Those top runners are very hard to keep up with. My goal at least is to beat Yamauchi's overall time of 3'27.309.
Shouldn't be too hard, since I can spot the areas of the track where I'm going wrong. :P

Apart from that, I find the demo enjoyable. The new collision physics are nice, and the Road tyres have a very realistic feel to them.

the demo is more improved then gt5p, the sounds are way better, now all the game needs is skidmarks and also being able 2 do a burnout. I was also expecting damage but its not in there. They have to be improving it

Have you guys noticed how slippery these cars are. Dang i wish i could take TC off the stock Z and slide it around the traack

Don't know why anyone would be expecting damage. It is still in development, and is completely useless for a time trial demo like this. There will be too many 10 year-olds crashing the car on the first corner, over, and over. Belongs in Burnout, not GT.

I don't find the cars very slippery, but the bloody grass is! Get one wheel on the green stuff, and it's game over.

Yes the grass is like ice, and if you just touch it your ....... I don't think the cars are slippery, they just oversteer a bit much, and its almost impossibly to countersteer when you step on the throttle out of a corner.

The greatest amount of time lost during a fast lap (for me) is in the 'S' section of the track. Tricky without TCS whilst using a DS3 controller. Wasting a moment on wheelspin usually ends up damaging the laptime by tenths of a second.

1:37.3xx with the tuned car and a fairly slow 1:50.1xx with the stock one. I find the stock car barely driveable with the Dualshock, the tuned one is a bit better.
