Am I wrong? This car won't turn in, no?

Yes, you're wrong.

LOL It understeers for me too but I am a pretty clueless driver and have only tried it at valelunga club circuit. There are enough setup options that if I knew what I was doing I could probably make it drive a little more to my liking. It does have rear wheel steering that is controlled by the throttle and that is pretty cool and alot of fun.

I found that turning off all the g-force effects helped me understand what the car was doing much more.

At default, they really scramble the brain.

Like quite a few cars, it has lift over steer. That can help you get around corners, additional steering supplied by the throttle

Either that or a power slide .....

Edit: whoops Michael mentioned it above already ...

I'd love to see a video of lift off oversteer in this vehicle. It simply does not happen.

Try the BMW M3 GT2 too, it's part of what makes it fun to drive.

Nope. Anyone else?

Completely fill the fuel tank and fiddle with the differential. It will swing around then.
Just make sure you brake early.
