Let me start by saying that I am no professional driver, I know my limitations and trying to learn the cars.
My car is a 2020 PP1 that’s bone stock, went on a mountain run with some friends this morning, they were in a V6 1LE Camaro, a STI, a M4, and a RS3. I was 3rd in line, with the rs3 and m4 behind me. We came across a section of copperhead loop at the beginning with tight hair pin turns, I was going into the right hander at a shower sites than the others, and much slower than my old Focus ST, and was met with a lot of understeer, pushed into oncoming lane a little, inside of my tire was just over double yellow. So I backed down even further, which was holding up the 2 behind me. I played with tire pressure some, I initially had the ps4s’s at 35psi hot, dropped them to 32 and it seemed to help a little, but the car understeers more than I expected.
Was I just trying to overdrive the car? I understand it’s a 3700lb car which doesn’t help, but it was great everywhere else except those real tight technical sections.
