It’s definitely the preferred option, though, as the “advanced” method has you operating the vehicle like a remote control car. The left stick is the steering wheel, and you now accelerate with the right trigger and brake with the left. What really makes this scheme unwieldy is that the game is constantly inverting the controls based on which direction your car is facing. That means pushing the stick to the right does two completely opposite things when you’re driving “up” the screen versus when you’re driving “down” it. It’s a mess.
