Some people have had trouble driving the cars at the top end because their steering was too sensitive. Here are some suggestions from Tantrum on how you might set your steering up in the options to get better control. I also strongly suggest you use a good joystick instead of a wheel as this made a huge difference on my system. But I understand those with ECCI's can adjust things and they seem to work fine! Pete Check your steering set up in "option." I put the sensativity all the way to the right of the slider. This ensures that any move I make with the controller will make a correction. I the put the scaling bar to where the node of the bar is at about 25%. This would have the node just off of the "e" in the word scale. This should keep away oversteering. However, this also restricts the lock to lock turning radius. So if you get sideways on the burnout, lift and drive the car into a a striaght position to begin backing up. At the beginning of the burnout, give the steering a jab to the right. This will counter acts the centrifugal force that happens when these cars lite up. If you stop sideways, getting back in the groove for launch is tough. Also note that steering is smoother on faster machines. You may be struggling because of a slower config. I am a better driver on a 300mhz at the studio vs. my lowly 200mhz that I have at home. Hope this helps.
