Someone asked me to rig a test where a gauge is mounted more steadily on the controller so that it was clearer to prove, so I did a second test for Part 2, which you can see linked at the top of this post.
The Playstation.com community responded courteously, though some tried to just criticize my driving technique. The moderators ultimately felt that it would do no good to talk about it further on their message boards, so after just one day of discussion, they locked my thread that I put so many hours into:

I was told that their forum had only ONE Sony employee and that he only had 50 posts.
I did as was suggested: I pm'ed amar212 on the GTPlanet forums on July 5th. A week after I got a Read receipt, he still hasn't replied.
The issue keeps falling on deaf ears, so I don't really know what to say other than, I'm looking at other console sims for a more suitable control pad experience.
