I use the keyboard with the arrow keys. And I think this thread should have a title more like "What type of controller do you use to play GeneRally?" than just gamepad.

Keyboard. Nothing else. My writing table is already too full by any means

Left hand: (A) middle finger, throttle - (Z) index finger brake
Right hand: ([) middle finger, left -(]) 4th finger, right
(I recall that magicj used to throttle/brake with the right hand, which I found very peculiar
)

I can't do this with my hand even if I have the longest fingers I ever seen.
Maybe because I have a french Keybord!
my ([) is with the 5 and my (]) is on the right of 0.

Not really: I (used to) do it, too. On a US QWERTY keyboard I use(d) O/L for accelerate/brakes and Z/X for turning.
Nowadays I used a gamepad for extended gaming sessions. My new keyboard's ergonomics suck a*s, and it's painful to game on it only, after long periods of time.

Keabord. 'J' - throttle, 'M' - brake, ',' - left, '.' - right (with middle and index fingers on both hands). I use these buttons since me and my brothers shared one keabord for playing GR together. I sat in the middle and had buttons in the middle of a keabord.
Once I tried to use a gamepad, but I was slower with it so I returned to a keabord.

Yes, it's normal to be slower, but after 30 minutes, all the skills come back!

I'm significantly slower with keyboard and 30 minutes of practice surely doesn't change that.
But in the end it's all about what you're used to and the amount of practice. After 9 years I'm too much into gamepad but I'm sure I'd be as fast with keyboard after extensive testing.

Basic WASD
I think it's easier with WASD than with arrows

I use arrow keys on keyboard, except I use B for the brake button.

Arrow Keys. On my old Laptop I use PLÖÄ (They are arranged like WASD on a German Keyboard).

@mayfly: I guess you use the arrow keys on that keyboard beneath the wheel?

I use the numpad on the right of the keyboard. 5 = throttle, 2 = brake, 1 = left and 3 = right. The shape is exactly the same
as with the standard arrow keys, but I like those more because they are upper and more right placed on the keyboard
When I play with a friend, I use WASD.

I like to use x for brake, and then up, left, and right arrow keys for acceleration, left, and right steering respectively
