Brake in a straight line, ONLY, Get gently back on the throttle coming around the turn, and floor it when you're going straight again. It sounds slow, but it's a d*** sight faster than spinning out just past the apex of the turn.
 
What kind of HP are you running in it? I've found it is a little unstable under braking but with stock HP or a mild upgrade, getting back into the throttle usually transfers enough weight to the rear that you stay in the driver's seat.

Did you by any chance turn the rear downforce all the way down for a Test Course run, then forget to turn it back up? Because it is pretty slippery with the downforce minimized.

With about 576 hp I was turning 1':49.mid" at Grand Valley using T2s and a pretty default suspension setup:

18.0/16.2 springs
76/76 ride height
7s all round on the dampers
0.80/1.20 downforce

I'm not a spectacular driver by any means.
 
Thank you, sir.
I hope my suggestions help.
If they don't my next question would be how do you have it set up.
If you have ASC off turn it up to 2.
Set LSD to 10/30/10. Increase decel to 15 if the car is still getting squirrely.
 
Make the car lower to the ground.
Raise the ASM and TCS up a little bit.
Decrease the spring rate a fair amount. :D
 
A good way to stop under- and oversteer is to play with the Toe/Camber settings.

Camber of 2.2 front, 2.5 rear kills most oversteer stone dead. Setting Toe to 0.0 front, +1.0 rear gets rid of any that's left.

Understeer? You'll be needing to set front toe to +0.5, guv. FF cars? Set the rear toe to -1.5 as well.
 
Don't floor the pedal coming out of turns when you have no TCS...;)
 
gawd! that cars in my faves!!!

detune the bugger. no hp upgrades are needed as it handles great stock

just run the bugger stock and everything will be fine.
just brake a lil' early and accelerate a lil' late :)

words cant describe my feelings about this car :D
