What was the last really great racing game that expected the player to use a d-pad as their primary input?

Certainly not anything on PlayStation, it had a relatively popular analog controller made specifically for driving just one month into its lifespan.

Funny because it was used as a showcase for the new dual analog controller sony released a few months before it.

This, Gt1 supported both Dual Analog/DualShock and NeGcon. It was a transitional game for PS1 racing controllers.

There were PC emulators for the DS within the /vr/ era.

Not retro, but this is probably the correct answer to OP's question.

There was absolutely not a DS emulator in 2001 you stupid fucking tourist.
