I've nearly figured out how to stop without spinning, so that's progress! Haha

Brake Balance setting is key and brake much earlier than a modern car.  

In reply to dean1484 :

It honestly doesn't seem to make a difference; the car will just randomly snap around, and I even have the tire health all fine. It won't show lockup and after it rotates, and there's nothing I can do at that point. I'm going to have to bow out.

These vintage cars are not easy to drive fast, especially compared to 'modern' cars.  Make sure you're applying and releasing the brakes smoothly, and only in a straight line.  They lockup pretty easily... check your audio settings and make sure you have tires set so you can hear them... that's usually the easiest indicator to work with.  Start slowly and work carefully up to quicker lap times.

As I mentioned last night - this is possibly one of the worst car/track combos for a new sim driver.

I concur. 

Turns out that playing through a large portion of the career doesn't prepare you as well as you'd think for online racing. The career is almost all modern performance cars, and it has all the driver aids (driving line, traction control, no damage or tire wear) turned on. Attempting to wrestle a 60s race car with lots of power and terrible suspension and brakes AND do it without the nannies was a bigger challenge than I had anticipated. 

Anyway, my technical issue persists. I'll try and catch you guys next week.

I just watched a good bit of your broadcast. Dam good for a first go at it.  Very good job!!!   We need to make a proper GP simsports banner for the broadcast.
