    oversteer with default setup
    stiff the front and soften the rear and it's really better
    I use no help and I stink, and if I can drive it, everydoby can! :p

    I started sim racing with AMS2 (EA) and couldn't complete a lap without spinning. So I chose the F Trainer and started hot lapping. Now I have several track records on the F trainer, because I learned how to optimize / adjust the setup watching videos and reading setup guides.

    Not sure if it was mentioned yet but F-trainer has open diff afaik so when you throw it into corners, use a bit of throttle to stabilize the rotation.

    Always recommended strategy for any rear-engined, RWD car...

    Right, but with an open diff, you will get a lot of rotation on turn in, you can use a bit of throttle in f-trainer even while braking into corners to prevent spining.

    Both cars seem to have identical power and torque. At least on the "data screen". Is this inaccurate?

    Yes. The Advanced Trainer has 160 hp, which you can verify with the telemetry HUD.

    If you can drive the F-trainer and F-Vee. You can drive literally all other cars. You guys can do it! <3
