Steering seems to feel lighter after spirited drive?
Hi guys,
I was wondering the following, today 35+ P-Cars went out for a nice morning drive. 80% was twisty highway the rest was some narrow twisty road after a 120 degrees corner that I took quite fast, lets say I was on the "edge" of grip we followed up with the slower twisty's - all of a sudden the steering felt so light to me - almost like a MB o:, now I am not sure if that was my perception after the steering obviously felt hard in the tight bend and on the quicker highway or if it could have actually changed?
Your input is appreciated

It isn't clear to me exactly what your question is, but generally, after spirited drives with lots of fast cornering, the tires heat up, which increases the pressures, which reduces the grip. Tire pressures are the main variable when tracking/autocrossing, and need frequent attention to ensure consistency and optimal handling (grip).

The question(s) are supposed to be:
Is it possible that "something" happened so that the steering now feels lighter!?
Or is it most likely just me having a wrong perception of the steering feel? As I had to "hold on" to the steering wheel on the tight bends.
Now it just seems so effortless
