Sorry I was thinking of the Ford Spec Racer, which doesn't have
lift throttle oversteer, just lift throttle spin, although Ian Lakes
setup seems to calm it down a bit.

Why aren't the default setups for these cars made to make them easy
to drive, since they're intended for new players? The advanced players
can then tweak the setups for faster laps, but more difficulty.
