It is a kind of waste for common gamers, who do not play auto game frequently, to buy a steering wheel simulator. But normal game controller can not provide good solution at all. Then you might need a mini steering wheel like this.

Because the USB mini steering wheel is detachable, you can have a better driving experience when playing auto game. While playing normal games, micro wheel can be easily removed which leaves you with a pretty standard looking gamepad.
