Neither am I. I think pole was a 1.32.xxx and I managed maybe a low 1.36 in race. But I can keep it on the road which was apparently good enough for 6th of 24 in the race I did.
I do like cars that are harder to drive. Half the field usually takes themselves out. Much easier to pass that way.

I had a DFGT until a few months ago. People make those pedals sound worse than I think they really are. Sure it's more fun with a load cell brake, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the DFGT pedals. Once you adapt they're as fast as anything else.
Admittedly, if you can't left foot brake they're probably a bit of a pain. But that's a useful skill to learn, and can improve your accident avoidance a lot. The springs in the DFGT pedals are so soft you can flex your toes for fine control instead of trying to move your whole foot a fraction of a millimeter.
Now that you mention it his question isn't very clear. If he's asking when was it implemented in the MX-5, then it was last Wednesday. If he's talking about the NTMV5 in general, we've had it since last season's start on the SBRS and FW31. There were no tweaks to the NTMV5 this season, they only added it to more cars.
Oh I missed that, thanks. Definitely interesting
I've noticed that the more updates we get, the less and less cars that the two foot mash works with are left, which is good because it forces you to actually drive and not rely on an uncommon/unrealistic maneuver.
So what's the question?
For the left hander you need to use all the available track on the right hand side when doing your turn-in. It may not seem like much, but there's a little bit of space near a cone where you can actually go a little wide just before turning in. This little space is fundamental to getting that turn right and carrying a little extra speed. For the next one after the off-camber right bend, you just need to make sure to brake exactly when you need to and not a fraction of a second later. It's very easy to throw your race out the window on this turn.

). I oversteer really easily in that bend, so lift off/brake a bit earlier than the rest and gently turn in from the mid-right of the track towards the apex. This carries me relatively stable to the rumble strips on the right side after the bend. Note that I hardly need to turn the wheel. Once I turn the wheel too much, the rear loses grip as soon as I approach the highest point of the corner. This is the main reason the sharper turning from the extreme right of the track doesn't work for me.
Are you sure? According to the release notes for S4:
It would appear that the NTM updates may have gone a long way, if not the entire way, towards eliminating the handling asymmetry discovered a couple months ago (a problem that was lurking for at least two years and potentially affected every car in the service). I'm surprised you haven't noticed a marked improvement over the car's previous tendency to oversteer in left-hand turns and understeer in right-hand turns. Usually this asymmetrical tendency was reported by drivers as "right turns are easier and more stable than left turns for some reason." That appears not to be the case anymore, which I am very grateful for as a new Skippy driver (this is my first season in the car).
