Then get ready to catch the spin. For auto-cross you absolutely got to drive like you're a total idiot to get a fast time in this car. For the track you have got to do the complete opposite.
Couldn't be more true. At the same time though, you really can use the throttle to rotate the car nicely at the track but do it too close to the limit (or wall?) and it'll get away from you entirely too quickly for comfort. This past weekend I was really enjoying using the brakes to settle the nose and get some front-end bite from trailbraking and then clicking over to the throttle to get some additional rotation. That... and this car squats so much under acceleration (with stock suspension at least) that throttle lift oversteer was a blast to toy with...
