I have mine set so that way the right Joystick is Clutch/Handbrake, upshift is the left bumber and downshift is the right bumper. It works easier for me that way because it allows you to be smooth on the gas and brake with out interruption from shifting, since depending on which way your shifting, up or down, they are on opposite sides of each other. Some people say that's hard, but I found that to be the easiest and most full proof, the A/B set up just wasnt good for me.

The difference with the bumpers is they're further towards the middle of the controller than the 360's.

@Blitz24 Let off the gas as soon as you think you are losing control, brake(dont slam them, feather them) and make subtle yet precise corrections.
However, sometimes it can be to late. If you dont react fast enough then it'll just spin, so think fast because another second in and you can be ass-backwards.

A couple ideas that might help out:
1) apply power slowly and a bit later, and if the right trigger starts to rumble a bit, don't squeeze anymore till it stops rumbling
2) widen rear tires
3) increase rear toe in
4) decrease dif accel setting (but not less than 50 or so, or you'll end up dog-legging)
5) soften rear roll bar
6) when all else fails, TCS on!
Good luck!

It really depends why you're losing traction on the back wheels. are you going on throttle to quickly? Do you have your differential lock set to high? Are you over compensating throttle on by dropping the throttle to quickly (this can also lead to reduced traction from engine braking)? Are your tires loosing compliance with the ground because your suspension is too stiff? Is the car bouncing because your suspension is to soft? Is your rear roll bar to stiff/ Front to soft?
in short, increase traction to your back wheels and maintain it smoothly. If you are using the racing differential, I would start by lowering the lock setting.
That's how I do it. It can lead to some ruff down shifting. gotta make sure you go back on throttle just right. I'm getting to the point I can down shift mid corner without throwing my back out. great for dealing with understeer.
