I'm glad you posted this, as my copy of GPL from purplus arrived yesterday and I
was having the same problem. I took the latency down to 0 and it's all but gone.

On older wheels I would suspect the steering pot to be worn out.
Also check whether your setup has a high asymetrical camber-setting. GPL is a
bit picky in that.

New wheel, standard setup. Granted a new wheel could still have a bad
pot, but I don't get the spikes in any other games so I doubt that is
the cause. I have been playing around with core.ini settings some more.
I can't seem to get rid of it entirely, but I have been able to minimize
it. And I have yet to be thrown off the road because of it, so it is
mostly just an annoyance.

Thanks,
Hal

Same situation here. For some users (including me) this never goes away.
The only time I got turfed off the road was when the wheel jerked as I was
airborne over the Flugplatz. Unfortunately, I didn't get the wheels
straight before landing.

I counted the rolls at the time but forget now... one... two.. three...
four... five...
