Are racing games fun on PC

Hi, with the steam sales i've been having my eye on Blur and NFS Shift 2 Unleashed. How are these games? Do racing games play well on a keyboard/mouse? Or is it awkward?

I don't really like using the keyboard and mouse so I, use my PS3 controller instead.

They can if you use a good controller for playing --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tester, http://www.trademeters.com/ POS Software TradeMeters POSparetos

Like he said, use a controller. Typically I only buy racing games if they support the Xbox 360 controller, as thats the only controller have. I buy from Games For Windows if I want to use a controller.

I usually play racing games with a controller as well, Trackmania 2 being the only exception.

Blur was a pain with KB+M, it plays so much better with a controller - on the time challenge tracks I shaved 1.5 seconds off my time just by changing to a controller!

Anyone use something like this?

I'm not a fan of racing games, but this thing looks awesome.

I use a 360 controller for Need For Speed Hot Pusuit, but I've found that GRiD is amazing with keyboard controls. It's all preference.
