ive done a fair amount of laps on the track and i cant see what the problem is with the astro, lets face it, if your touching it your too far off the track and shouldn't be out there, as for the spins on it, only on full throttle driving way too aggressive have i spun,it does what i would expect it to do, make you do whatever you can to avoid going on it and gaining in anyway, if that means running more wing then so be it, personally i wouldnt change the grip level of the astro,
