+There are some reports that games will work better with the Thrustmaster Windows
+drivers installed.
+
+# Installing the Windows drivers inside a proton prefix
+
+1. Install [protontricks](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks).
+
+2. Download the
+   [Thrustmaster drivers](https://support.thrustmaster.com/en/product/t300rs-en/).
+
+3. Look up the ID of your game with `protontricks -s NAME`. For example:
+   ```shell
+   $ protontricks -s Dirt
+   Found the following games:
+   DiRT 3 Complete Edition (321040)
+   DiRT 4 (421020)
+   DiRT Rally (310560)
+   DiRT Rally 2.0 (690790)
+
+   To run Protontricks for the chosen game, run: $ protontricks APPID COMMAND
+
+   NOTE: A game must be launched at least once before Protontricks can find the
+   game.
+   ```
+
+4. Run the driver installer with protontricks.
+   ```shell
+   protontricks -c 'wine ~/Downloads/DRIVER_INSTALL_EXE' APPID
+   ```
+
+   Dirt 4 for example:
+   ```shell
+   protontricks -c 'wine ~/Downloads/2022_TTRS_1.exe' 421020
+   ```
+
+Note that `protontricks` may change the working directory, so relative paths may
+end up not working as expected.
+
+# Installing the Windows drivers manually
+
+Assuming you've already downloaded the installer:
+
+```shell
+WINE_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix wine ./DRIVER_INSTALL_EXE
+```
+
+[Lutris](https://lutris.net/) is an excellent way to keep track of which
+non-steam games exist in which prefixes, and allows you to run executables in
+prefixes from a GUI if that's more your thing.
