Yep. I managed to drive through most of the tight turns at Texas World

Speedway using very, very little steering wheel and playing with the

throttle. Worked like a charm. The only guys that gave me any hassle were

Porshe 911's with racing rubber on them.



I was using 9"x15"/285/40 Yokohama on the front and 12"x15"/345/35 Yokohama

on the back.
