This is the only native game for Linux that suported Force Feedback.
Installed with urpmi doesn't give me FF,I had to download the latest version from here Vdrift and install it with autopackage.It runs clicking the icon.

These packages will be needed before installing

libsdl1.2 
libsdlgfx
libsdl_image1.2
libsdl_mixer 1.2
libsdl_net 1.2 
openal

When the game is installed,you need to edit this file VDrift.config and modify the ff_device sentence.In my case event5.

[ joystick ]
calibrated = off
deadzone = off
ff_device = /dev/input/event5
ff_gain = 2.000000
ff_invert = off
selected_index = 0
touchcomp = off
two_hundred = off
type = joystick

Enjoy!!
