I always have done. I'm a touring car driver so its natural to back off and look for the tight line. What is hard for me with Minis and also GT12 is to look for the smooth entry to keep corner speed up as they don't have the same punch out of corners as touring cars. When the Mini is handling well, I like how you can just power through a long sweeper without fear of it flying off. Mine had too much understeer to do that yesterday.
Driving Minis is a little different. Not harder or easier, just different. Just pay attention to where the weight is and you'll know what to do.
