I had the same with my V12, but had the help from an experienced racer :

1 - Tyre additive, all on the rears, and about 1/2 cm on the inside of the fronts. Helps a LOT!

2 - changew the fronts, i got different compound (cant remember what, sorry!) and trued to IIRC 43mm

3 - if possible set the EPA on your car to less, so the steering isnt as 'much'

i did this, and went from an uncontrollable car one night to being regularly placed in the top 3 of the B final, and came 1st within about a month of starting v12 racing

so tyre additive is the biggest help, the trued tyres second and if you can set the EPA to control the servo motion.

everything else is standard.

IMHO cornering is the secret to V12 carpet, you can make it up on straights if you have the speed (i am brushless and race against brushed) but if you cant get round the bends you will lose time, and v12 is more about the corners than the straights.
