I don't think it understeers. All race-cars handle like that. If you give gas
too early out of a corner, you're in a spin. If you break too hard while
turning, you're in a spin. That doesn't change, and I believe your attempt to
avoid this have made you raise your wings way too much. The downforce is
therefore way too great on the straights.

As for CHEATING!!!!!!!!! :

Go to the dir called cars and then into the cars93 (or whatever car set you're
using). Edit the DRIVERS.TXT. Here, among other stuff, is a list of all the
drivers and their data. You're on top, and the two numbers (somewhere around
900-950) before your name if your car's horsepowers. Change them at will. I
once tried to change a droid's HPs to 1500. WHOOOSH, and he was gone! Rather
funny to look at, I tell ya. :)

Hope this helps, mate.
