The car is tame in the straight braking zone and becomes slightly lose as you trail into the turn. You have to be careful not to carry too much speed or the back will start to wash out and this will destroy your turn. It's predictable for rotation at the apex which is helpful, but I would rather have the added grip. Once through the apex, the car doesn't let you go back to power without the back pushing out. You have to very gently add power through the track out without getting too excided, but as you get closer to a straight wheel, you can go back to power. I can hear the E46's get back to full power ahead of me. The crappy part is that I have the power on the straight, so I can reel them back in, but lose the distance again at the next corner.
The WORST thing about this is that we rent seats out for endurance racing and we use the car for instruction and when we put somebody in the seat with slightly less experience, it becomes a dangerous situation.
