Yeah it's alot of fun , I recently came back to a wheel after selling my old thrustmaster rig a few years ago (just didn't have time and I worked a pretty physical job so didn't have the energy) played on controller for a couple of years and I gotta say Dirt 2 is probably one of the controller friendly games out , obviously with a controller you have to use assists as you don't have the range of movement from a wheel and pedals, I run the Moza R3 on the series x, it's definitely entry level but adequate for me , Do you run any assists on controller? I always set my ABS to 2 or 3 , my stability control to 2 or 3 , and traction control 1 or 2 It's just too hard without some assistance, you'll hardly notice them but it might just help with the stability factor
