I've had Hot Pursuit 2010 for a couple of months or so, but it was only today that I was able to finally configure the game to not only use my (temprememntal "8.8.8." bugged) Fanatec GT3 RS v1 wheel for steering, but finally use my Clubsport pedals (using their own USB cable) for throttle/brake (instead of using keyboard)!
The relelvent bit of the "controls" file in <C:\Users\my account profile\Documents\Criterion Games\Need for Speed(TM) Hot Pursuit\Save\Default> is...
[Config_Porsche Wheel]
STEERLEFT=0,X_AXIS,0.00,-1.00
STEERRIGHT=0,X_AXIS,0.00,1.00

[Config_Clubsport Pedals]
STEERLEFT=
STEERRIGHT=
ACCELERATE=0,X_AXIS (R),0.00,-1.00
BRAKE=0,Y_AXIS (R),0.00,-1.00
Bought it more for nostalgia than anything else, it was Hot Pursuit 2 that got me into racing games with my then Logitech Momo Force (first ever wheel owned)
