Say what you must, but the truth is sometimes hard to accept. Grinding walls is much easier with the escudo, than just trying to do the corners.
I played this game for days, nights, weeks, months... and I got pretty darn good at it.
Controling the Escudo on tracks like Laguna Seca isn't that hard. Remember S-license test #8? It seems almost impossible to control the Toyota GT1, but with the right throtle control, it isn't all that complicated.
Same thing is with the Escudo. You got to feel the car... feel the throtle response of the engine. I didn't learn how to control it in a few days. It took weeks, but when you get it, you simply can't let go of the car.
