Slightly Mad Studios have produced driving games with arguably the most intense and thrilling driving experiences available: Need for Speed: Shift, Shift 2: Unleashed, Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends and now Project CARS.
They all have something in common: nearly undrivable gamepad control out of the box. Amazingly, they are clearly aware of this and so consistently and uniquely offer a bewildering array of unexplained, sometimes cryptically named sliders that allow you to fine tune the controls to your preference.
Project CARS on PS4’s Dualshock 4 is no exception and it took around 18 hours of play before I finally got a controller setup I was happy with. Here it is:
Gameplay / Authenticity
- Steering Assistance: No
- Braking Assistance: No
- Anti-Lock Brakes: Yes
- Stability Control: Yes
- Traction Control: Yes
Controls / Configuration
Go down and set this first:
- Controller Input Mode: 2
- Advanced: Off
then
- Steering Deadzone: 0
- Steering Sensitivity: 0
- Throttle Deadzone: 0
- Throttle Sensitivity: 5
- Brake Deadzone: 5
- Brake Sensitivity: 30
- Clutch Deadzone: 13
- Clutch Sensitivity: 45
- Speed Sensitivity: 65
- Controller Filtering Sensitivity: 65
It’s making the game most enjoyable again and if you’re looking for a gamepad setup for Project CARS I hope it helps.

Thank you I’m glad you are smart enough to figure out the settings and I appreciate your talent, and shearing the knowledge, I almost gave up on the game.
Thanks. Seriously. Driving feels much smoother now. My controller is still in one piece!
