Sure, technically analog input, but good luck getting a throttle or steering control to stay in the right spot while using the range of travel of a single keyboard key.

An analog stick or even a trigger would provide significantly better range of motion and thus higher accuracy in gameplay.

Best kbm option for those kinds of controls generally are things like mouse steer, which still kind of suck. I'm not hating on keyboards -- it's just not really correct to say they're always superior.
