I just couldn't get to grips with it (literally), although I was with a really nasty bully female instructer who totally shot my confidence down.
When in a Caterham Superlight, the instructor was awesome and so reassuring that I posted the best time in my group.
As a consequence, I fell in love with the Superlight.
The Palmer Jaguar was another bully of a car, thing was ferocious.
I don't think the Atom is ever a car you'll get to grips with, which is part of the excitement about going out in it. It's a case of treating it with respect and enjoying the power where you can. :race: know what you mean about instructors, they make all the different..
