Which is exactly what I said when I said "I don't have the trust in it as I do the other cars I tried". Otherwise I would have said "We cannot trust............". It was framed correctly.

@NevilleNobody , if it's any consolation I too struggle with the NSX. I certainly did last week at the Glen and I didn't find it much better today at TM. It's the same with the BRZ in Gr3, I just cannot get on with it no matter what I try yet it is by far the quickest car for that race. I did give some time watching Digit on his live stream earlier and the way he drives it is completely alien to me. In real life you would not be double shifting constantly to stop the tendency for oversteer and I think that is where our problem lies. We are trying too hard to drive it as we would in real life instead of accepting that it's a game and we can 'cheat' our way around the problems. If that makes sense 🤔🤔

Managed to squeeze in today Daily Race A, B, & C, but the highlight for me was Race B at Trial Mountain!
Logged onto this sport race at about 10ish and did some times and my practices were quite good pacing with the NSX. Couple of secs quicker than buddy @Gorefast so I knew I was speedy enuff hehe. Grid position was 3rd place to start!
Race started off good rolling not grid start, sped off the line and chased an Alfa 4c the first few corners a bit smooth, but some light bumps in the tunnel, 1st lap kept it strong in 3rd place, pushing the NSX hard to keep the flow going and chase the two leaders of a Huracan and 4C. Little bump drafting on lap 2, as for the last two laps were momentous and can be seen in the replay video below.
The alfa driver was very bumpy & skittish and started scrapping on the last lap, helped me gain momentum to pass him as he also occured a half second penalty, so I chased the leader on the last two corners, leading to a tight finish in 2nd place, so not bad considering.

I understand what you are saying but I think the nsx is stable enough not to need too many video game spams to make it work. I too am a little put off by guys shifting down to 1st on a corner they can take in third then spam shifting up to 4th on exit but tbh I don't think that needs to happen with the nsx at TM. For me there's four cars that I can work with, one is far more likely to light up the rears on me than the other three.
I do like TM though, maybe could do without that last chicane, a more traditional corner would be better but otherwise it's a fun track and good racing in the right rooms. I'll do a few races soon as the Mrs settles in Mr Merlot.
EDIT: So put together a good lap and qualified with a 2.00.6, this is competitive in B/S rooms. First race I tried hard after starting P2 but just couldn't quite get close enough to the leader to make a safe pass. So result there was....
Tried again and landed on pole with a Veyron behind me. They are very hard to race as they as so fast on the straights. Made a few small errors on lap 1 and he passed me, annoying but i felt I'd get a chance. Settled in, head down, rear end up and found my pace.
I get a great run onto the back straight, I stay as close as I can and take the inside line, hit the brakes a touch early as i was carrying more speed from the slipstream. To me he turns in without giving me a lane to work with, he was not happy in the chat but looking at the replay I felt I had a right to be where I was and would have made the apex quite tightly tbh.
Here's the video, you need to ffwd a bit. I show the incident in 3 views, I use bonnet view.
In the end my first win with a wheel after getting my rig over xmas and really struggling to adapt from the 1997 dpad style I had. It feels natural now but much improvement to be had.

@NevilleNobody Congrats on the win just now - I was in that race too, though I finished down around 5th (but came from further back). You’re making that Nissan work well for you there 👍

Just watched my version of that race replay and I don’t think you did anything wrong. He moved to defend once he saw you were going down the inside and that was too late to do that - contact was then inevitable. Funnily enough, I already have that guy blocked as I’ve found him to be problematic in the past.
