Please as a suggestion can you allow brakes to be applied on console using a keyboard. I prefer to use a keyboard on my Xbox when playing and it gets really frustrating when you can’t apply brakes using the keys if it’s not a combined power/brake lever.
Did you try to change the standard key bindings in the game for your'e keyboard? Its possible to so maybe this will help
Go to settings -> Controls -> Keyboard Controls and there you can change keybindings... Thats how it works on pc but if you have a keyboard on a console you try this to change.....
