I use the same controller and notice the same thing. Like Kroblanx said, joysticks work better for driving type games. I don't have a good one, so for SBK I usually do lot of tapping back and forth to keep the thing on the track. I hate it in the corners, because it's either full lean or nothing. There's no in between.
