The Amuse S2000 GT1 full tuned is steering to the right and that's it. It can't be driven any more. I'll try to find out which tuning produces the bug, maybe someone found it already?

I love it. Adapted Praianos tune for the S2000 and think it’s wonderful. All about opinions I suppose.

I too have experienced this at Sarthe in the car and I played around quite a bit trying to eliminate it or replicate the circumstances. The tune I was using was madmyk’s and I fussed with the ride height and downforce to fix it, to no avail. I’ve been away for a few days, but I’ll try and get a video or at least pics to show what is being talked about. Right at the entry point for that first hard left-to-right turn, under moderate-to-heavy braking in a straight line, it just dives right and there’s nothing you can do about it. It also exhibits this behavior entering the first chicane on the on the out leg. This does not occur in subsequent laps, only the first. I don’t believe this is in relation to the tune and is a bug.

I took a run today. At the first instance, I braked pretty aggressively and managed to counter-steer myself out of it, but this was the first time I’d had any success doing so. This is where it happens, every single time, 1st lap only.
The 2nd instance always happens here and is not always restricted to the 1st lap, indeed, it happened in L5 with a pretty wet track. In this case, I avoided it by having a mass of cars on the inside of me.

Looking at the first image, the front brakes & tires are locking up or are under heavy ABS usage. More-so to the right (b/c it's unloaded) than the left.
Does this car exhibit this behavior on other tracks? Like heading into the bus stop chicane at Watkins Glen, or the right-hand sweeper into a braking zone at St. Croix.
I have a feeling the brakes are too strong and the front end is too soft, which is causing the car to roll and pitch too much.

Some cars definitely seem to be set up a bit weirdly in stock form. The Ferrari 330 P4 felt awful to drive to me - not just in the "this is an old car" sense, because the Ford MKIV and 917K drove like a dream. Turned out that raising the front ride height and nothing else completely transformed it, from barely being able to touch the MKIV's Nordschleife time to trouncing it:

The really strange part is that I don’t ever brake there (except in THAT instance as I was specifically trying to counter the behavior), at least at the start, as I can simply lay off the throttle until I straighten out and then apply my brakes. Even that doesn’t quite explain it as laying off the throttle shouldn’t induce that heavy of a weight transfer right? I don’t know, I’m just spit-balling at this point. Let me know if I’m way off-base here, thanks.
Here’s a quick clip I just whipped up, its convenient that this happens right at the start. My YT and video skills are very rudimentary.
