The most important point of this is that if designed right it is easy to swap buttons with axis controls with minimal code change... or overhead. This is why I love c++.
If you do not want to use a joystick, I would suggest using the analog triggers on a game pad. This would allow the driver to have two joysticks and two analog triggers at their disposal.
