Does anyone else have a problem with your car oversteering BADLY at the start of a race ? [e.g. Atlanta] No matter what I do,,when I enter turn one and as the car accelerates past 135-140 mph, the rear end breakes loose and the car heads straight for infield wall or spins out. If I change setup to compensate for this I have a car that will push dramatically when the tires heat up. The computer AI car don't seem to have any problem with this, and if I slow down, they either run into me and cause me to spin out anyway, or I am left at the back of the pack no matter how well I qualified.[best so far is 5th] Tell me how you guys deal with this initial oversteer problem at the sart of a race ? I am sure you will be helping others as well. I CANT be the the only one !!! 8^( Michael Davies "ALLLLL Righty Then!!!" Student :-( Gamer :-) Hallucinating from Sleep Deprivation"

Well, not much you can do that I have found. I stay on the gas entering the corner until the rear end swings out, let off and countersteer. If you stay at the bottom of track, the cars typically won's pass to the outside. It's difficult, but the only way I have found. Jay
