Strange controller issues in driving game menus

[npb]

Hi all,
I seem to be having controller issues with the driving games, such as daytona and scud, whereby when i'm in the car or track selection menus,
when I move to the next car or track on display, the section highligher square moves forward and then immediately goes back to the default first choice. This happens even when I move 2 or 3 choices forward, the selection always moves quickly back to the default first choice.
This happens with both the keyboard or gamepad. Can someone please help me diagnose and resolve (config/setup ?) this annoying problem, as it means that I cannot explore/enjoy the other excellent cars and tracks available.

Also another annoying issue, I find within the driving games, is that when I'm actually driving in a game, I notice that when I press left or right, the car quickly jerks to the driving position, rather than make a nice smooth diagonal motion. The keyboard moves the car nicely as visually exepected, but the gamepad jerks the car oddly.
Again anyone experiance this and/or know how to resolve this issue ?

thanks all.

Yes, i had this same issue, then after some investigation i found out how to do it

On the course and car select screens using your gamepad, hold the left analogue stick in the down position to the left. Now move the stick (still in the down position) slowley to the right, and you will now be able to select course 2 or car 2.

Once you get used to it, it works great everytime.

Remember, these games are designed for steering wheels, so thats why you have to use your analogue stick in a similar manner.
