" First said! Yes I know my grama and speling is terrible but I bet you can understand most of it anyways. "

I have no problem correcting with normal litle overdoing slides, I even provoke them some time. What I am refering to is,
Example: if you push to the limet in a curve and some more and lose it litle to much and try to corect it even if you are fast enough you wont get it with out a couple tailwiping and you will lose it no mater what you do you need to slow down alot and fast or end up in the wall. (some of it is normal ofcause) And here come what is not working! As it should work a corect caster tend to force the front wheel to make the car want to go straight by it self, so puting more throtle the right amount to corect a slide will do so and straighten the car up and you're back in controll. If caster is to low you will end upp with bigger slide when you try to use throtle to correct a slide. With lower angle caster you have to easy let of throtle and some break to corect a slide and do it fast or lose it. So trying to use throtle to corect a slide with low caster give you more uncontrolable slide and a notorious backfliping the other way and your of the track or spining a 360. That is typicle for a car with low caster like older modles Volvo, BMW, Porche and Jaguars and some more that have a caste of +1 to +3 att the most.
( a race car and most modern cars specialy highpreformance cars have a angle higher than +5 some even up to +9). Caster angle is the front suspension angle compared from "front wheel" centrum 0 degre straight up, a +1 to +3 degre angle ( plus meen it's lening toward backwheels) you can take tight curvs and turn easy but are very instable in higher speeds specialy when accelerating hard and usulay tend to flip 180 or do the hole 360 on you if you over do things, that is typicle for low caster setings..

Caster and front camber are a work in symbios if it is not correct a car behave iraticle when pushed hard and hard to get to go straight when accelerate hard, even sometime when you are way within the limits too.

Like a shopingcart have a negative caster on the wheels to make it easy to turn around tight corners in a store and that is also why they woble around like crazy when you push it around and horible to get to go straight specialy if you push faster, wheels start to jump around = realy low caster.

But only car I've noticed that actualy have almost correct caster is the IMSA Audi 90 quatro (ofcause it helps that it is 4xdrive) and with that it's posible to show how a back wheel driven car should behave in a slide. A correct set caster will give same result for a rearwheel powerd car (but wider slides) if you get a slide you can drive it out accelerat it away that is correct caster and that is not posible with any cars in the game as it is now exept the Audi90quatro.

Well enough about it! Fact is caster angle is extremly important to be able to corect it depending on if it is a track with a lot of tight narrow curvs, a lot of straights, to have different setings make a world of difference.
Every track need different caster seting to get maximum preformance of the car on the track.
(yes a lot of tracks are seting almost the same, but far from all).

I have a Youtube clip from Suzuka circuit east course where I drove the Audi90quatro first lap I overdo it a bit in the curvs and it is more like a rearwheel car behave in same situation if you push it litle over the edge, second lap is mor even and controled as you would get with a 4xdriven car, using the 4wheel drive to corect it ... less sliding.

Though I add this clip to from Sonoma Raceway - Long course where I am taking the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO on a morning practice, pushing it to the edge I know it is a 4xdriven car but behavior toward a rearwheel driven car shouldn't be that big. Yes a rearwheel get bigger slides if you over do it but it slides when losing grip sideways same way as the quatro do. Difference is, it are harder to correct with rearwheel cars but it is not imposible if you can drive and car are set up the right way. No I do not want to drift NO WAY! but still it should be possible to correct the care in the same maner if it accidently get pushed over the edge. that's what I am saying. Now it is not possible, du to wrong caster setings on the cars
( caster and camber are not in symbios )

Ah Okay, I thought you had trouble correcting the cars period..
When pushed to the absolute limit I have no idea if race cars are correctable or not, maybe a real race driver can have a saying on that regard.

No not at all, but this applies to much more than just holding it together when you are pushing to the edge of what a car can do. It is a vital seting toward the camber and toe in/out seting all those specialy camber and caster. They interact with each other in turns and acceleration and how the car is behaving is hudge diffference depending on what seting you have.

hello ... the problem of shadows still not to sulucionado in 3 monitors to and have leftovers deconetado sonmbras car and medium and minimum circuit to operate at 60 frap qu ... the inpacto that I had passed on the data update is not repaired inc .. I hope you sulucione that before dava com play this game like all its shadows and aora deconetado have it I do not like .... I repeat 1080p com 1 monitor all topeee perfect in all circuits .. 3 monitors but 5760x1080 ... and before it upgrading worked up shadows and self shadows . please solve this s3 . a greeting and thanks for your great work .
