While racing Ascari, I couldn't help smile with this tune. The car is pretty solid with the weight, but it has a playful "soft drift" under cornering if you attack the throttle, which is easily controlled with very minor throttle adjustment and / or minor counter steer.

Extremely easy to control when sideways, even in 3rd / 4th gear in a slide. The car just felt like it was being very playful, the harder I pushed it, the more it wanted to drift and would not bite (unless I was being blatantly aggressive and stupid with it).

If you find yourself in a drift coming through a corner and want to straighten up, just shift up early and it sorts it's self out.

Please, give it a go and any feedback would be appreciated!

Enjoy!

Update: Just got gold with a time of 2:32.886

I had the same feeling with my tune. The car did not seem to dig in and grip the track, rather drift a bit along the top.

Our tunes are quite different, but cool that you felt the same experience.
