One thing that bugs me though is my front wheels seem to stop spinning while
cornering even though Im acelerating out of the corner. I understand that
the wheel will get air regularly over berms but rarely does the wheel just
stop spinning let alone everytime I turn hard right of left. I find it
distracting at this point ;)
Anyone else see this or know the fix? Ill get to the readme's but cant till
later.

I've noticed this too; it reminded me of working on the champcar physics for
the aborted Cart Heat mod, since they did the same thing. You'd lock the
inside front from heavy braking past your turn-in and the car would carry
the stopped (or slowly-rotating, which looked cool) wheel right through the
apex into the corner exit. As soon as you straightened the wheel enough for
it to touch down again, you got a nice chirp and puff of tire smoke for your
effort! ;-)
Dropping the CG and static roll centers in that one made a big difference in
the weight transfer, but for F1C, you probably need to reduce the spring
stiffness as well as the RB's, and lower the low-speed rebound damping.

PS - the F3000 in NetKar does this to a fault as well, and I'd imagine it
might have something to do with not modeling the tire casing deformation
fully. I remember an interview with one of the Cart drivers who tested a
Toyota F1 last year (not CDM) and he was surprised at how much the car
rolled on the relatively high aspect-ratio tires.
