When you are driving you are not looking at the car
Seriously though, it's not your fault. The Super GT cars have too much understeer modelled in this game for some reason. It's like the rear downforce is much higher than the front. Unfortunately we can't change front/rear downforce separately, so that's that

Well that changes everything. In that case just paste a picture of the HSV's rear end on your TV screen so you can choose any car and still look good 
Yeah it's a glitch Codies doesn't bother fixing. Installing upgrades just slows you down in accel/braking/handling. The only thing it helps is top speed (which is only useful for ovals really). The top players on the leaderboards never use any upgrades. It should also be noted that changing car settings (the sliders) DOES work and can make you faster (a bit).

I found a good setup for Spa my favourite track and decent tyre consumption as well. Now the Hsv handle like a proper SuperGt.

Nice I'll give it a try the next time I'm driving a HSV.
Increasing the downforce that much might be detrimental to top speed and overall lap time though. Spa is a high speed track so sacrificing a bit of handling for top speed would be better I think. And just so you know, brake bias is reversed in this game (a glitch, again). Front bias cause oversteer, and rear bias cause understeer.

I've finished writing down the first dicipline of my custom career mode, Touring. Haven't started testing it myself but I'm waiting till I complete 3 diciplines. (Next up is Open Wheel and then Classic).
You progress championships through Points you get from a championship. When you get a certain amount, you unlock a Championship from all disciplines that require the amount of points. However, some require an additional requirement (example; To enter the V8 Supercars series you need 660 total pointsas well as come 3rd or higher in either; V8 Utes-U.S, V8 Utes-Euro and V8 Utes-Australia)

Usually yes too much downforce isn't the best setup at Spa but in this game I feel SuperGt have considerably less downforce than GT5 so in GAS my laptimes benefit because I can flatout Eau Rouge, therefore at the end of the straight I'm quicker and then on high speed turns downforce help quite a lot. But I don't pretend my setup to be the fastest I'm aware there are aliens in this planet
. About brake bias I'm not sure it's reversed, maybe it's not on all cars.Sounds brilliant, a custom career mode I do hope Codemasters will keep this great feature in all their future games!

I plan on getting Grid Autosport (PS3) within a week. Any tips to keep my gameplay smooth?

It is reversed on all cars. It's not apparent when you have ABS on, so test it with ABS off. Max front bias will cause you to spin on braking, and max rear bias will cause you to plow straight ahead. Trust me.

I have ABS on, I'll turn it off and see if I can be consistent without it. Thanks for the tip.
Do it. I think the point of this game is not completing the career at all costs
it' the fun you have while racing. You can also create your events.
SuperGT at Spa is now my "go to" Endurance race.
You can start with Toruing and Street cars to settle with the game controls, leave Formula an Drift series for later, or eventually if you are like me, skip drift completely.

I find it quite hard to be consistent with ABS off in GAS (for comparison I drive with ABS off all the time in GT6). There is not enough wheel FFB to let you know when you're on the threshold of lockup and the braking physics itself seems to lack the resolution needed for proper modulation. The point of turning ABS off is just to see the effects of extreme brake bias. With ABS on, I put the brake bias on maximum front on all my cars. It's a subtle difference, but it helps turn in just a little bit.

I kinda forgot there was DLC. Maybe I should pick up some
I started writing up the Open Wheel Events for my custom Career. There isn't much to work with variety since there is only 3 Classes however I tried to make each similar race series race on different tracks and have unique race formats to make each one somewhat interesting.

Here's the setting that I use for most of the drag events:
Brake bias: doesn't matter
Diff: max locked
Downforce: min low
Gear ratio: adjust to car/track (stock is mostly fine)
Susp Front: max stiff
Susp Rear: max stiff
If you're using GT6 method, I'm guessing you made the rear suspension soft? That wouldn't work in GAS because soft suspension makes the car unstable during launch and gearshifts. It might be marginally faster, but you're better off with a more consistent hard suspension setup. Also remember to shallow stage and get the launch timing right, and nail those perfect shifts.
Ya I softened rear suspension and stiffened front, I figured that would help traction like in gt6, and what about ride hight
Also I was using the sequential manual trans, but switched to the h pattern+clutch on my g27, it gives me a perfect shift everytime, and seems to launch harder with the hi rev and dumping the clutch

Mini Cooper Challenge cars are pretty fun, coming out of the chase and Griffiths are key as well as going up the dipper, add that to the drafting battles down the long straights its a good un

Only really know it from the Touring Car and Tuner Class rotations online, you do have to lift across the top a couple of times, otherwise you brush the wall (in the minis) or cause a massive crash (Super Tourers), and give room through the dipper, just ends up in a wreck
