yea, i just need more turn in on entry so that the car squares up a little earlier in the turn so that it's ready for some on-power throttle. what's happening is at mid-turn i'm still perpendicular to the 180deg turn so if i get on my throttle in a nice and smooth manner, i end up slamming into the wall. i always have to give it more throttle than i should just so i can break traction at the rear to get the car to rotate. the problem with that is, the car becomes unstable and i end up losing speed at the exit.
