My first suggestion would be to invest in a wheel, but if you can't/don't want to you can adjust the steering characteristics in the "Configure Player", then "Control Configuration" page.
Steering Sensitivity adjusts the linearity of the control, with 1 being linear, <1 being less sensitive to movement at center, and >1 more sensitive to movement at center. '0.7' might be a suitable value for joystick/thumstick.
Speed Sensitivity adjusts the applied steering when the car is traveling faster, which can also help you control the cars.
Just play with these until you find something you like, you can see the amount of steering at any moment if you bring up the cross hairs (key '4'). Have fun,
Simon.
