When there was very little grip and it was just understeering I was more focused on staying on the road then paying attention to torque steer to be honest. On the occasion I did notice on less wet probably tighter bends where you could tell the diff was doing its job that there was kind of oversteer, not the back stepping out, but finding myself having to purposely steer back straight again after the corner which is a new one to me, would that be defined as torque steer or the opposite of?

In general though from taking off to cornering you can still feel it but where before it was white knuckles is now more of a pinch of the wheel, was laughed at by a passenger who noticed me maneuvering with two fingers and thumb.
