Re: trouble with driving

Hi Michael

Sounds like it is working as intended, either switch on traction control 
(usually the "z" key, depends on your players configuration) or just 
apply partial power. If you drive with keyboard do not use "pro" mode, 
or if you cannot resist, accelerate by tapping the accelerator.

What is your input method btw? Here are some videos of me driving with 
visible input:
- http://youtu.be/UrrpRPuyR7k (10 laps with gamepad)
- http://youtu.be/OHU0PFt1w6M (gamepad setup)
- http://youtu.be/euGXPoPlyMA (steering wheel setup)

If you use the most recent version (1.3.5) you have additional 
opportunities:
- In the car setup screen make the first gear longer (-> less torque 
from the drivetrain on the wheel in the changed gear)
- Make the whole diff ratio longer (-> less torque in all gears)
- If the car has a limited slip differential reduce the "accel locking 
torque", e.g. a value of "500".

Hope this helps, please report back.

Kind regards

Bernhard
