Believe it or not I used that for my fastest times in my 2.09 test at Motegi in both the Mazda and the Honda, the Volvo didn't need that much as it as I said handled the best out of the FFs without the mad toe..
Also no surprise Spurgys wooping all your asses, and draging RPM to first on his own
, since he is pretty much alien fast and in the fastest car .

Catching oversteer. That's why I was all over the place at Carreras last night.
The only thing you can do for that is practise. You need to "learn" what the wheel feels like when you're losing grip so that you can correct the problem before you slide.
That's challenging for even someone who's used to using the wheel. It'll just be frustrating.
I'd probably suggest doing a toned down version of this^. Take a low powered RWD (say MX-5 or something of the like, maybe with a bit more power?) on Comfort Softs and just keep driving round a track. That way you'll hopefully get used to how the car feels when it's losing grip, and can get used to correcting snap oversteer. Then if you feel comfortable, try a car with more power.
The only big tip I can give is don't jump off the throttle. Just ease up a bit and countersteer, If you still aren't getting the car back, ease off some more and repeat. Sometimes you might need to come all the way off, but very rarely. Jumping off unsettles the car, and can exacerbate the slide.

The old rx7 is the easiest to control on the wheel.

Or you could just drive an FGT around for a bit, that'll help you learn quickly

I think you might need to be comfortable on the wheel before you even attempt that. Although, I can't stand single seaters.

First time I used my wheel was around Monaco in an FGT, as you can imagine I didn't get too far

Yup, I remember from the last FGT Spa TT that hitting a curb = spin, too much power = spin, too much lock = spin, catch some grass on exit = spin....

You just have to catch the oversteer like any other RWD car, but unless you spend hours practising like Immortal you aren't really going to perfect it

Oh, you can catch it. But that ruins your lap time. And also anytime you get too wide, the automatic on-the-grass traction control rubbish kicks in and spins you/ruins your exit speed.
I just don't like driving the single seaters, so I never get any practise in them. I like actual cars.

Thanks for the advice, I guess it's not an easy task trying to improve my driving. 👍
