AND I do the "push up with the thumb on the stick" thing as well. I have to consciously roll my thumb on to the top of the stick to pull back and it means I never feel comfortable on the brakes. I always apply too much or too little  |
I still feel much more comfortable with the Procat and can make it go much more agressively without the use of brakes. It seems the style developed for that may not suit getting todays cars going as fast as they can. I'm going to turn the autobrake up on the brushless and see what happens
