Okay, i have played with d-pad for a week now, and one thing is pretty sure: there is no going back to analog stick. I have few issues with pitch in chengou project fwd (at that bouncy left hander) and sebenco climb fwd (at every second corner ), but i'll figure them out at some point. Biggest improvement has been how i manage quick turns with d-pad ie. last quarter of sol2, blind at metropia rev and hairpin at Chengou rev and fwd. Well, i think i'm going back to practice again.
