In NASCAR racing, my car will suddenly skip (skid) to the right usually in a turn or while passing another car. Very distracting and has resulted in crashes. Has anyone had a similar problem or know a fix? Thanks. Stan - Go DW

Learn to drive the car better?? :) Seriously though, it sounds like you need a better setup, one that's not as sensitive to changes in airflow. Max

Has anyone had a similar problem or know a fix? Thanks. I started to have that kind of problems, when the potentiometer started to get old. It developed a tendency to increase it's resistance quite suddenly which caused my car in Indycar to suddenly turn sharply to right. If this is the case with you (you can notice it when calibrating your joystick/steering wheel in NAscar Racing) you'll have to replace the potentiometer or buy a new joystick.

Mine does this too. It does it so much, that I have started to try to predict it. Are you using a Thrustmaster T1 by any chance? I think this might be the reason for mine. Mike
