Yep, GPL should work with a keyboard although its far far easier to use a wheel if you can!!

I would recommend Logitech - I've had Wingman Formula Force since '99 and it's still going. I did pay £100 for it though (reduced from £130) so you get what you pay for. The Logitech MOMO is available for about £70, which is supposed to be good.

Welcome to the wonderful frustration that is learning to drive GPL cars. It is incredibly difficult with a keyboard tho, you need to be able to steer on the throttle and gradually increase or decrease the lock whilst steering. You need at least a joystick or joypard with proportional movements for this.

The keyboard is all or nothing.

Check the GPL websites and there are setups for each car that you can download which make them much easier to control

I brought a few thrustmater wheels and they broke within 3 months. Logitech is the way forward, they feel quality and are quality, improve your lap times no end!

Swapping from a gamepad to a steering wheel has resulted in a dramatic fall in form for me sadly. I shall be mostly disposing of the last and next 3 results I suspect (if we are still taking the best 12) while I get used to the damn thing.
