If you want to get the most out of this game (because it has a more realistic simulation than dirt 3 or showdown) you need a steering wheel with force feedback, because it's designed to be played with one (you can play of course without it but it will be much harder to understand what is going on, I'm referring to tire-road physics, weight distribution and so on). Dirt 4, coming out next month I think (although I don't know if it will have linux support), will feature a selectable physics engine, with a simulator one for those who enjoy a realistic car handling and physics, and a simplified one (similar to the one in dirt 3/showdown) for more casual players.
Which wheel has the best compatibility to feature-set ratio? high end / low end price?

Playstation 3 emulator 'RPCS3' has improved Linux support recently

Quoting: ProfessorKaos64Hmm, I'll have to revisit building this. Had trouble in the past, even on Arch Linux. I'd love to get an early build up for Debian/SteamOS.
I just followed the basic instructions for Arch on the GitHub and it compiled fine, so perhaps this has been improved more recently.
It's still difficult on anything prior to Debian Sid.

I forgot about this. Bought at full price to be a good Samaritan (or bc I am a huge fan of the PC game Road Rash). Decent reviews and up my alley.
