      I personally, to say it like the thread creator said it, take it by the scruff and throw it fast in corners ( which I didn't do with your S2 David btw ) , let the initail understeer settle in while aiming for the apex, then basically, "cure" the understeer by nailing at WOT and full boost slightly before apex to get the front wheels and the marvelous quattro w/Torsen system to help turn the car and get me past the apex, the rest of the curve is just WOT and on your way . So I would say medium fast in, WOT and full boost in apex then VERY fast on the way out as the curve widens.

      Works for me !
      Careful applying well behaved Avant tactics to the wayward coupe The combination of old style suspension and wobbly chassis makes for some interesting handling on the limit, to paraphrase Roger Clark, as long as you're not looking out the rear window, you can get it back

        Well the car is now sorted!

        Believe it or not the car had two loose nuts and bolts around the shock absorber that is attached to the steering rack! The car now loads up going around corners and I have feedback!

        I thought I was loosing the plot! So pleased it wasnt me
