I use 900deg and while the steering in the Elise isn't the quickest around (I think somewhere around 15:1 ratio), it is certainly plenty quick enough.did i say a sharp corner?
actually, i've been told that the lotus elise should be understeery by many experts.
my driving style is now pretty smooth. you are taught to have gradual inputs on everything - braking, steering, line etc. i do recall one successful guy in the top 30 tt times for AC recommending that people drive at apex and try to spin back end around - trying to induce oversteer.
personally, i try to steer with as little steering as possible. however, you seem to need to apply massive amounts of lock to get the car to turn - even with steering rotation at 360 degrees.

p.s. no, I have never "drove" a car
i'll give that a try when I get back from my mates stag do in a few days. thanks for thatNo Marcel ! I had managed to half fix the fight !

You have to point the car out of the corner earlier than in a front engine car, use some clever 4 wheel drift (like in the old days, not the rubbish stuff that we have today, lol) in some corners and just really adapt more than anything else. I'm seen as an extremely smooth driver (Very easy on tires), and I usually turn the car with the throttle more than the steering, I like a tail happy car better as I can make it do what I want easier.
I find the Lotus quite understeery for me, but as I said, if you're clever you can find how to make it go around corners like you want
an argument is backing up an opinion with reasons/evidence. ridiculing is different. I'm giving an opinion/argument but not belittling anyone. Thanks to WIlliam for his suggestions. I always try to keep an open mind but it's also fair to give your own opinions and impressions based on experience.
maybe we have different wheels. i use a fanatec. i'm glad for you that you have worked out how to manipulate the game to get a fast lap outcome.
I just don't get it. For me, AC is the best sim I've tried so far. Don't forget this Lotus is just a roadcar and if you preffer racing cars like me, you may be confused and jump to conclusions. We just have to wait for other cars.manipulating the game... oh my, that's exactly the keen jibe I am talking about. That's not helpful for anybody to build an opinion.

i don't understand this at all. will you explain? Arkad was just pointing out that he is doing it right because of his laptimes - he can manipulate the car in the game. i can manipulate a car better in real life than in the game. that's part of the problem for me. not everyone has that, but like i said in the first place - people will have different opinions and perceptions. all equally important.
i don't understand your point about the wheel. do you mean, sometimes it's the user, sometimes it's the wheel and sometimes it's people's perceptions of what is a perfect sim? (fanboys included - in any order)
on another note, considering you mentioned arguments aren't helpful - poking tongue smileys and rolling eyes aren't usually helpful unless there is a funny joke. I'm still waiting,..
What a chance for you, twince are release, you don't have to wait AC like us...very Lucky guy...
