Could be that your changing down too soon.

I think you may be down shifting too early, this causes the engine to rev to
max and causes the rear to lose grip, this sounds as though the throttle is
sticking open especially if you use low gearing. I used to do this quite
often myself.
Try changing down one gear less at the bends or raise yor gear ratio's and
see if that helps. Also try braking to the correct speed then downshifting.

   A couple of things come to my mind.  

   You need to hit the binders pretty hard in that last left-left-
right-right complex.  I wish my F1RS (English edition) manual had
the corner names.  As stated earlier, shifting down alone is not
enough.  

   My ECCI CDS2 only has two axis.  Do you have one of the clutch
equipped controllers?

Here are the corner names for Silverstone from a game whose
name will not be mentioned here ;-)

Turn  1      COPSE (right)
Turns 2/3    MAGGOTS (1st left/right)
Turns 3/4    BECKETTS (2nd left/right)
Turn  5      CHAPEL (leads onto...
             HANGAR STRAIGHT
Turn  6      STOWE (hard right hander) leads to
             VALE (straight with a dip)
Turn  7      CLUB (left/right)
Turn  8      ABBEY (left/right) onto the
             FARM STRAIGHT which takes you to
Turn  9      BRIDGE(right)
Turn 10      PRIORY (1st of left/left)
Turn 11      BROOKLANDS (2nd of left/left)
Turns 12/13  LUFFIELD COMPLEX (the right/right ones)
Turn 14      WOODCOTE (right onto front straight)

So I think the names you are after are:
PRIORY
BROOKLANDS
LUFFIELD COMPLEX

Love knowin' where I'm goin'
