I remember once getting severe TTO in my parents' Jetta and the experience
was so scary that I quickly learned proper FWD cornering technique & have
not done it since!!!

Well - I think this car's basically a 1.4 Fiesta.

I have a 1.1 Fiesta - And the only time it's oversteered is in a turn,
lifting off heavily. The weight goes to the front right, which unloads the
back which can then come round.

Yes it should and no I'm not either. This product has potential but is
still way off in terms of real-life handling. I've tried it in some
depth and have had communication with the developers on it
(where I praised them for what is great about the product but also
stated my views on the physics). Having raced a FWD Fiesta in
the Willhire 6hr endurance race at Snetterton on Saturday and in
2 races at Brands on Sunday I had a pretty good idea what to
expect from the handling of the FWD car.

There is so much that is good about it that I hope they can
sort out the physics.

The right hander off the tarmac intot he dirt again? - I like that one

Getting slowed down for the right-left back onto the tarmac again is very
difficult at the end of that one

Just had a few awesome online races with the GTI's, absolute blast.
Sometimes i even go to wave my hand at people when im passing them for a
joke, only to realise they cant see me! Thats what i call being immersed
(however u spell it) in a game! Top job guys, want a beta tester?

I'd thought LFS simulated FWD pretty well, myself, but it's been a while
since autocrossing my old Scirocco.  The LFS GTI did seem to respond
accordingly to some of the old setup tricks, and I could get the tail out a
bit on lift throttle and bring it back with some right foot.  Since evolving
to mid-engine cars for my jollies, my recollection of FWD TTO is that is was
SO benign... ;-)
