THIS is a prime example of why wheel is better than controller.
I could not do this event for SHIT on my controller.
but now that I got a wheel it took me two tries to get a gold. TWO!
I tried it numerous times with controller and I coldn't even get silver!

only trophy that I'm scared of is beating the Nurburgring official GT-R record.. that'll be tough... very very tough
seen a number of devoted people do this. so its not impossible
