Two things spring to mind. Either you apply just a bit too much throttle, taking the weight of the front wheels, or you are using a too strongly locked differential (a 60/60 (up to 85/85) setting with 1 clutch is my preferred choice). -Gregor

Hi guys.... What would cause a car to straighten out when you are half way through a corner. This seems to be happening alot to me in GPL, and I just can't work out why..

If you mean the car is understeering through the corners, patchouli, then another possibility could be that the tyres aren't at the ideal temperature across the L/M/R. Anything under 190 or above 260 would cause them to have less grip than is ideal, especially if the rears are within this ideal temperature range. When this starts happening exit back to the pits and check your temps in the garage. -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) Remove ALL_STRESS before replying No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.
