Sounds like something fairly fundamental. Things to check:
Switch the car on and turn steering full lock - now spin both front wheels. Do they move? If not, then you've got too much throw and need to turn it down. Look at the front suspension, are all the screws done up (not
tight, but not loose) - I've had this a couple of times where a screw comes loose and gives some fairly savage handling characteristics.
Check ride height - should be about 3-4mm.
What body are you running? Ascari with supplied wing?
Turn your brakes down a lot, you hardly need any brakes at all for GT12, if the rear axle locks up as it unloads during braking/corner entry etc, then you will turn on a sixpence (50p piece now lol)
Don't give up, it's a great class once you've got it sorted. Also go along to your local club and ask one of the faster guys to have a look at it for you.
Hope you get it sorted.
