Logitech game pads. not with this game?

Windows 10
Logitch Dual Action

After not being able to control the game at all with my Logitech controller I google the problem and found that there are only 6 compatible controllers for this game, 5 of them Microsoft.

I don’t understand that at all, Logitech are one of the most used brand.
What’s more other car games have the option to manually set your own buttons if it doesn’t have an existing profile, this game as far as I can see doesn’t even afford you that option, why not?
It seems like this game is a sales pitch for Microsoft controllers.

I was wanting to play the demo to test the game to see if I would buy it, i’m not buying a new controller just because this one game will not play with the controller own and like.

So is there a way around this? or should I forget about this one then?
