still having an occasional "off" in the wet!
Here's a few tips.
1. Don't slide around on the fast sections. On the faster sweeping sections,
treat the car like in GTR rather GPL- keep it within its limits and
concentrate on your lines for a good time. It appears that the virtual tyre
compound chosen is for maximum grip but with very little "give" at the
limit. This makes for the sudden twitchiness (I'm sure improvements to the
setup can help as well).
2. If you get more than about 15 degrees sideways at medium-high speed, use
full POSITIVE lock, not opposite lock, to catch the car. In other words, if
your car is oversteering to the left, get off all the pedals and apply full
LEFT lock, not right opposite lock if you want to catch the car. The GPLers
will know about this technique. For those interested in this somewhat
counter-intuitive approach, applying full positive lock washes out the front
end more than the back and your oversteer becomes instant understeer,
meaning that you won't spin.
3. Keep the throttle on in the hairpins, and turn in early, hard and fast.
The handbrake will pull around the back end sharply, but you'll just spin if
you don't use the throttle to compensate and drag the front out and around
the hairpin. You'll need to master the throttle control here.
4. Use left foot braking for medium corner (90 - 120 degrees). Use just a
touch of turn in, brake just hard enough to lock the rear tyres, and you'll
slide gently into the corner. Balance the car on the throttle through and
out of the corners.
5. If you get unwanted throttle off over steer, use just a touch (5 degrees)
of opposite lock to "hold" car until it comes back by itself. If you try to
put on enough opposite lock to instantly straighten up the car, you'll
over-correct and do a pendulum spin the other way.
