Interesting. How do you brake and accelerate? Auto accelerate? Touch the middle for brake?

Brake on each side of the screen and auto accelerate. That way you can easily brake no matter in which direction you steer.

I love tilt even with a heavy new ipad, but I prefer tilt by far, I just imagine my ipad is a steering wheel, and I play on my tv hdmi. But some games have poor tilt implementation, and those buttons are better especially for high scores.

But in most cases like Asphalt, nfs, repulze, etc, like tilt.

This. I feel that tilt is the only control scheme fit for a racing game.

Exactly this, though I don't mind an onscreen wheel with brake/accelerate buttons.

If its touch, then give us two brake buttons on each side of the screen to touch or just touch the middle quadrant.
