I felt that way about Mazda until i clocked over 1000+ hrs between all the GT titles, now i love this place. It might just be the hard sport tires and no abs that's the problem. Plus no downforce too. I turn my 1st laps tonight so ill report back later.

I've only driven with ABS but I don't remember the car having understeer. I've done maybe 5-6 laps at most right when the car came out. Was in 36's if I remember - never got a proper 1st corner.
Edit: If I can make it, I'll enter. It's just very far from race time for me to know.

I was interested in entering this competition, so gave the car a few laps around Laguna to check my pace. (With a DS3) Started with a 36, 2nd lap was a 35 and 3rd lap a 34, but never improved beyond 34's for a further 4-5 laps. However, this run just confirms how much I dislike the handling on this car, I think it's horrible
In my opinion however, it has nothing to do with the tyres. Other cars handle fantastically on the very same piece of rubber.I too wouldn't enjoy racing it for 39 laps, but that's not the OP's fault, I just really don't like the car, that's my own issue. Even with the brake bias set rediculously low and using a bit of accelertor under braking as the brakes begin to pinch, I still think it too easily locks up and becomes unstable.
I'd like ot join something similar in the future though and will keep an eye out.

Out of the box I got a few 1:40's and 1:41's. It's fully broken in now. I'll try tonight. Turn 1 is make it or break it.
I fly through the dog leg staying left, then move to the right white line before turn one and hammer the brakes to the floor. I don't turn the wheel at all till she slows right down. Then ease into the turn. I brake early folks, so watch out for me!

Try 3/0 or 4/0. Those are my usual no ABS settings and it's what I've tested this car with and it seems to work. I ran a high (for me) 7/2 at Monza but Monza is dead flat. If you feel the back end kick out on some corners, a slight bit of throttle will usually cure that.
Don't forget 0 is not 0 in the world of PD. Put your BB to 0/0 and the brakes still work. Think of it as 0=1, 1=2 etc. So 2/0 is 3/1 or 75/25, close to a real life BB.

Might enter - depends on how well I do with no ABS - not a fan of the brakes on this car at all.
I'm using a DS3 with this setup;
X - Gas
Square - Brake
L3 - Steering
I could use the R3 stick for gas and brake, but when I do that, I slap a rubber band on it to make braking more resistant - which doesn't work with no ABS. Would be using a G25, but the thing needs to be rewired before I can use it again. Was able to get a 1'36 with no ABS and full HP though - not sure how well I'm doing.

Sweet, thanks man! I'll do some testing this weekend before I commit. Still haven't downloaded the Vette yet. Sounds like super fun though!
