OK, here's a really dumb one that took me forever to figure out. The control for
driving linearity is a slider, it has a LOT of settings between full right and
full left. I knew this but for some reason didn't explore it. Full left was WAY
to squirrely to use, but full right was so mushy I couldn't get the damn thing
straight to brake into a corner. Finally it dawned on me to reduce the setting
from full left just a bit, in my case about 1/4 of the way. Wow, I can actually
steer the car now, I can even manage to correct a spin ... okay, on occassion
anyway.   I would suggest that if you have difficulty keeping the car straight
while getting ready to brake, or while braking, adjust the slider just a bit.

I was about ready to give up on this great game, which would have been a real
shame since I first got interested in F1 ... in 1967.

Joe
