I thought skinnier tyres would make the initial breakaway a little more gentle, but it seems the source of the problem is a lack of weight transfer on turn-in. The car's just too low, short and light to be able to tell what's going on in the back until it's gone. Racers fix it by putting ballast in the nose, softer springs in the front, and dampers which are light in compression but hard in rebound.
Oh and I found the source of the vibration above 100kph- the front tyres are square!! Jacked it up and spun them, sure enough... time for some new ones. heh heh. I'm liking the look of the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3...
