     After purchasing the ICR2, the understeer problem I encountered in the
demo has now changed to oversteer!
     But overall, the feeling's good.

I had the same problem! I have notice that the setup does make a big
difference though. Might just need to do some tweaking (I prefer
driving though).

       After a whole night running in Vancouver, I found out that decreasing
the rear tires' pressure give more grip and compensate the oversteer a
lot.Here's my setting in Vancouver.

       First load "easy", then change......to:

Front wing: 18
Rear shock: both 10
RL tire pressure: 32( at cool)
RR tire pressure: 28( at cool)

      But I haven't run a long race with this setting so I am not sure whether
the rear tire can last for some distance without overheat or blowing up. Try
lower the front wing if there's still difficulty, but maybe time will be lost
in some slow speed corner.

Hope this helps!

Talk to the guy in the earlier post who had understeer problems!

I think the speed you carry into the corners and the amount of
acceleration you get off of the corners is much more crucial than in
ICR1

I was able to get rid over the oversteer by massively softening the
rear shocks. I haven't been playing long enough to work out a proper
setup, but at least I could get around the track a few times.

If your oversteer happens during braking, increase the brake balance forward.
This has helped my control immensely. Otherwise, the softening shocks thing
seems to work best. Letting air outta the tires can heat them up unevenly and
seems to cause faster wear for me.
