Loving new tire ! I think it is addictive. Not easy, but it feels intuitive, realistic, interesting and fun.
My go to car now is BMW. And I love testing in Nurburgring no chicane track, it is beautiful and just goes so well.
I am now fresh after awesome practice session in Nurburgring. Car is demanding at the limit and driving abruptly is not tolerated much, handling makes sense, to me it is not easy to go sideways without loosing control and unstable moments does scare me as it should, so you really want limit those slip angles at just those couple degs at high speeds, and at low speeds be as quick as possible to steer in and out of the higher degrees slide. IDK if I would be able to powerslide boldly or drift it, maybe on some specific circumstances and with mad skill.
As laps go by, it is a great to progrssively feel more in tune with the car and going fast becomes less worrying about just how to keep control, and more about how to stay concentrated as you know what to do and you anticipate logical things so limits makes more sense. I love to oversteer tiny bit on slow-medium turns exits, and try to induce some neutral steer mid turn on fast ones, not easy, but it comes with practice. I keep straightening steering bit too late, so after those little quick slides I keep on getting little movement towards tankslaper zone, some of it is due dampening in FFB and some of it due to lack of particular skill, being too gentle and slow with my arms. Although completely avoiding slides higher than 4-5degs at all would be surely more efficient in terms of laptime and tire wear, but having some dance with a car is more fun.
