The track really didn't have any big braking areas (yes, even with a mod), so steering was pretty key to getting a good lap time.
There was nothing wrong with your car Ed, you were simply overshooting corners and braking where you shouldn't have. It's normal that you should do that as well, you're not used to mod so you lift way too late for the corners. Also you disabled drag brake which IS a mistake, especially if you're looking for steering.
