I guess even the FO8 isn't impossible with the mouse. I just did a 1:24.35 on WE1, which is hardly WR-caliber, but then my setup could use some serious work. Still, it's under the benchmark, which makes it the only FO8 lap with a non-wheel contoller that's under the benchmark on any track other than KY oval. 
Yeah, who needs a wheel?
But speaking of wheels, does any company make a wheel that turns, well, freely? Even without FF on, every wheel I've tried has had a lot of resistance, which makes steering a noisy chore. I feel like I'm about to yank my desk off my floor when I try to counter-steer, so I don't turn it as quickly as I need to.
