It's really all in the mind and regardless how twitchy a car is, if you're chilled and enjoying things, getting the feel of a car comes fast. Opposite if nervous.

I have an example of that: if I'm not on a ticket race in MP, and i'm out front winning, I'll mostly pull in before the line & let the other guys pass & pick up the points. In one particular race, I was waltzing through 2 laps at River Fort, coasting through all the cave bits without so much as brushing a wall. Up towards the end, I pulled in and crashed but who cares as the idea was to let others pass anyway. I crossed the line, the list came up and I had been completely unaware that I had been running a ticket race..cough..ok, 12 points down the Swanee but tbh I had to laugh, what a dopey bstard. The point is, I was 100% more relaxed, and my driving that much better, only because I was convinced it was a no-pressure non-ticket race.

It's all in the mind :)

Good luck!
