Accelerating in high-power cars?

[Perriwen]

This has been driving me crazy. As much as I love things like Formula 1, driving the car is close to impossible, even with all assists. Just giving the car gas and it veers off to the left all on it's own, or spins out wildly going into the turns....any advice on these?

Also disable brake assist and steer assist in game options, basically disable all assists except, you can put 'driving help allowed' to 'none' or 'real' .
i use the first config and it works fine. except i put steer dead zone to 6 instead of 15.

ps : also, try this with tyres at good temp ( after 1 lap ) cause no grip when cold.

Cold tyres and/or too strong lsd acc lock settings (and maybe visco lock).

Remember that those cars should be very hard to drive.

Give it less gas.

The trick is to think about it the same way you drive a real car. Do you sit down and floor it the whole time? No. You accelerate slowly coming out of corners generally, because you don't want to spin out.

I know the Formula A's are very tricky on cold tyres, to add to the suggestion of less gas I would add try less steering input, some cars can be steered coming out of corners especially with throttle and less steering angle, hard with the FA's but easy when you learn and very, very satisfying to master.

The main thing is being very smooth and gradually apply the throttle.
You can actually get on the gas pretty quickly but only if you apply it really smoothly and yeah most of the problems come from people using way too much steering lock.
You never really need to go over 90° from center unless it's a hairpin.
You need to point the car absolutely straight before going anywhere near full throttle out of low speed corners.

I change the 1st and 2nd gear ratio to high.

Real cars do that when HP is above 300 HP
