PS4 Controller

[Ninja27]

I'm planning to purchase a PS4 controller for this game since I only have is keyboard. Will that work fine for my laptop? As I play this game.

It all will depend on your specs.
With a PS4 controller you can play fine with the R2/L2 as throttle/brake and analog sstick as steering, or you can also play it fine (less smooth but fine) with X as throttle, square as brake and pad arrows as steering.
It will also be possible to use the PS4 controller gyro as steering but, well . . . may feel weird for a good time until you get used as it will be a steering wheel without full lock and without being locked into place (much like a wii remote steering wheel).

Anyway, if you can save more and buy a basic FFB wheel, like a G29 or a similar Thrustmaster, it will not be a world of difference (like it will be from keyboard to controller), it will be a whole new dimension, almost like a blind person that finally can see for the first time.

Noted thank you!

Just my opinion: I don't want to discourage you, but I had stopped playing this on my PS4 because I found some cars to be uncontrollable with a controller. Some were easy but some were almost impossible. I got a steering wheel that's why I'm playing this now. And I also tried to practice a LOT on practice sessions. Give it a try, it's a great game, but also keep in mind what I said.

* I played on max difficulty (100%) with Real assists.

I've just bought DualShock 4v2 mainly for car racing games. It works fine (note that I've played a few hours for now). I had to install DS4Windows to make it work.
I don't know how about "uncontrollable cars" which -HyPe_x7 has mentioned. I didn't experienced any issues like that (maybe yet).

One example was the BMW M1 Procar. To me it was a nightmare with the controller, but if you do fine with it then great, as long as you enjoy it
