Dude, I've already done 67 laps of Anglesey track in 5 months of ownership, I'm getting there

So in that case, learn how to keep your car in a straight line when that boost comes in!

Mate, its like driving a proper car... NO TORQUE steer at all pulls in a straight line, I would prove it at Oulton but...... I CANT

Its all about rose joints and adjustable geometry
