Okay, for every human that uses a controller, they each have three limitations: skill, reflex, and endurance! Overtime, your thumbs and fingers get tired after exposed A-spec gameplay on an endurance race, including races that require a constant hold down on any button to keep a car running.
Default controls for GT5 appear to be the X button and pushing up on the right analog thumb stick for acceleration. Holding these buttons for a few hours can easily wear my right thumb down! I am sure everyone can feel the same way. So for an alternative method of keeping something held down, I came up with a solution.
The first thing I did was finding a plastic fork and breaking off one of its teeth:
Then finally, I would hold UP on the right thumbstick while taking the point end piece of the fork I broke off and wedging it into the bottom part of the controller that covers slightly over the right thumbstick:
I would call this method cruise control so that your right thumb won't be so sore and the only thing you can pay attention to is the road. Even with the right-hand stick wedged in, you can still use the X button to direct pit strategies and game delays anytime during your endurance race.
Try this for the next few hours and it will take time to get used to it. Let me know, people, if this helps you any.
Update: I also found out that another method of cruise control that can be useful in most endurance races - can be utilization of rubber bands. If there are simple instructions of setting up a controller using a rubber band, please let me know right away.
