Ok some of you are having trouble with mr cars. This is mostly caused by the front having too much grip the car spinning mid corner. Normal solutions to this problem would be tightening the front springs and rear dampers and softening the front dampers. Now this will work for most tracks, bit what about if you are on a very uneven road surface like brands hatch for example. Then the car will pitch with sudden movement and become less stable during weight transfer. Now if you are still having stability problems, lower the rear brake and brake early and make sure you are off the brake completely before you turn in to make sure it isn't the rear brakes spinning you.
If it isn't, take note of how the car is losing control. Is it corner entry? Harden front springs, lower front camber.
Is it rolling over mid corner and spinning? Raise front anti roll, lower rear anti roll, raise rear dampers. How to tell if it's rolling over is when you are near limit you will heat up one tire only, usually a rear from too much weight on that wheel.
Is it spinning on corner exit? Temper your lead foot. If it's not that then try lowering front and raising rear ride height. Because of all the weight in the rear of MR cars, the nose will come up as u hit the gas, making the front end too light. Also try softening the rear springs or lowering rear anti roll.
Now the LSD will play a big role in this as well. It's stands for limited slip differential, or differential or diff you might hear it called. What it means is how much of a difference you allow the driving wheels to spin.
Picture a car going around a curve. The outside wheels are traveling faster then the inside wheels. The difference between them is the differential.
5 means a completely open diff, which means the driving wheels, rears in rear wheel drive, will spin completely independent of each other.
60 is a completely locked diff, which means the rear wheels will only spin at the same speed.
The initial torque setting means how long the system will wait to kick in before reaching you accel diff setting. For example, if u want the rear to completely lock, set accel to 60, and the initial will determine how long it takes to lock. A low setting like 10 means the wheels can spin more freely. A high setting, like 30, means the wheels will lock together much sooner. Braking works the same way except under braking obviously instead of accelerating.
With race tires on, the car has so much more front and rear grip mid corner, meaning the LSD becomes more important. Personally I like to lock or almost lock the diff(accel 60) and raise initial. My 430 scuderia for ex is 35 60 20 on race softs.
With sports hard on you need a much more open diff to prevent understeer. The 430 for ex is 5 5 20.
Hope this helps, if anyone cans help me explain better or correct me where I'm wrong more knowledge is always appreciated.

I tuned my replicas there, and I adapted real world LSD and so far works great.
